Blue Fish Keyring

February 19th, 2008 · No Comments · Amulets, Fun Stuff, Unique Gifts

Share..Fish Amulets are very ancient, but for some reason they’re not well known as other amulets, even though they are very common in many cultures and religions. As a symbol, the fish is associated with birth, fertility, feminine sexuality and prosperity. Those are very universal virtues, so I believe Fish Amulets deserve a higher popularity. Not [...]

Gold Hamsa Amulet

January 22nd, 2008 · No Comments · Amulets, Buying Online, Reviews, Unique Gifts

Share..Until not so long ago I was very much anti-gold. I don’t really understand why, but perhaps it has something to do with teenage rebellion against materialism. Anyway, my teenage days are long gone, and so is my objection to everything golden. I caught the bling fever, so to speak. MostOriginal.com has many Hamsa related items for sale, but [...]

December 30th, 2007 · No Comments · Amulets, necklaces, Professional Shopping, Unique Gifts

Share..Why is it that almost every new year’s resolution I make ends up like yesterday’s newspaper? I always say to myself: “This year will be different. This time you’ll do it right”, but nothing really changes. Don’t get me wrong, 2007 was a great year. It’s just that I don’t understand why do we feel [...]

Bat Mitzvah Crystal Candle Holders

October 17th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Gifts for Her, Professional Shopping, Unique Gifts

Share..Traditionally speaking, celebrating a Bat Mitzvah is about maturing and becoming responsible for your actions. Of course, in this day and age we know a 12-year-old girl is not really responsible for her actions, but that doesn’t mean she can’t enjoy all other advantages of her age. For instance, the privelige of lighting the Shabbat candles. Candle Holders are a terrific Bat Mitzvah [...]

Heart Of The Matter

August 10th, 2007 · No Comments · Reviews
