How Light Up T Shirts Make The Best 21st Birthday Present

A person’s 21st birthday is one of the most important ones in their lives. It is the time that they are officially considered an adult and can finally go to bars to hang out with their friends. Because the 21st birthday takes place during college for most people, it is important to find a present that is affordable but fun at the same time. That is why light up t shirts are a great option for a friend’s 21st.

Stylish

When someone goes out for their birthday they want to look great and that is just one of the ways that light up t shirts can help. These shirts are incredibly stylish and eye-catching with their solid colors and colorful flashing lights. Anyone who has one of these shirts is part of a growing fashion trend and their outfit will be noticed and complimented. Because the shirt looks so nice, the birthday person can even wear it for other celebrations later on.

People Know

Most people like to feel as if they are the center of attention on their birthdays and if your friend is one of those people, then light up t shirts are definitely a great option. Because of their stylishness and bright lights, your friend will be sure to stand out on their birthday. Of course, if the shirt mentions the fact that it’s their birthday, everyone in the bar will notice and they may even get sung to.

Match The Music

Some people are concerned about whether the flashing lights on t shirts will be distracting when at bars but they can actually add a lot to the ambience. That is because some of the shirts are designed so that their flashes will echo the beat of the music playing in the background. In an environment like a bar or club there will be no problem with the sensors making out the beat and flashing appropriately.

Comfort All Night

One of the final reasons that anyone would be glad to get a light up shirt on their 21st birthday is because of the comfort involved. People tend to try to look their best on their birthday and sometimes this means being uncomfortable. But light up shirts are not only stylish, but they are incredibly comfortable as well. They fit like a normal t shirt and the lighting element doesn’t heat up to the touch, meaning there is no risk of burns or irritation. Even better, they are comfortable enough to wear all night depending on how late you stay up celebrating.

Article Writing – Are You a Shopping Channel Presenter Or a Teacher?

What is the difference between a shopping channel and a schoolteacher? If you don’t know, then perhaps you don’t watch enough shopping channels, which is entirely understandable. Personally I find any more than five minutes of viewing and my brain starts trying to crawl out of my ears.

However, the difference between the way that presenters work on the shopping channels and your teachers attempted to impart essential knowledge about oxbow lakes and differential equations is of great relevance when thinking about article marketing. The reason is that an astonishing number of articles seem to have been written by teachers, rather than by people who could work on the shopping channel and who are attempting to sell something.

Teachers teach, shopping channel presenters sell. What are your articles for if not for selling? But the tough aspect of article writing is that of course the more successful articles teach something at the same time, otherwise they’re not articles, they’re adverts.

When it comes to article writing it’s worth stopping for a moment and thinking about how to learn from each of these fairly contrasting types of people, applying aspects of each to your writing in order to improve both the standard and the effectiveness of your marketing articles.

If you think back to your school-days, and in particular to your teachers you might remember one, or if you’re lucky two, who really made a difference. But why was this? What was it that they did that made such a difference to both your enjoyment of learning and of their lessons?

One of the factors was probably humour. We all get a bit fed up of the dull and rather beige quality of writing on the web. Articles seem often to be devoid of much humour, and yet we all seem to pay more attention to things if there’s a little humour involved. Teachers who cracked the odd joke (even if they made you groan) probably had more of your attention that those who wouldn’t know a joke if it blew up in a chemistry lab.

But successful teachers would also often include a way of learning that maximised the chance of a ‘learning moment’. The ‘Eureka’ moment when a light bulb seems to switch on in your head and you realise that you’ve just understood something, or learned something new, can be tremendously powerful. Providing both humour and the occasional learning moment in your articles can be very powerful, but on their own they may well still restrict you to being categorised as a teacher.

One of the striking features about many of the best shopping channel presenters is not that they’re trying to lecture you or teach you, but are learning with you, discovering things at the same time, being surprised, and of course highly enthusiastic about it all. Appearing highly knowledgeable is certainly valuable and beneficial, but sometimes as article writers we need to be a little less didactic and rather more human. After all, it’s humans we’re trying to reach, not teach.

How To Find Unusual Christmas Presents

Finding unusual Christmas presents can be a good way to make your gift stand out from the crowd. They show that you have put some thought into your Christmas gift rather than simply bought another DVD or sweater.

Here are some ideas that will get your mind thinking about some of the more unusual Christmas presents that you could give.

1. Adopt an animal or bird. Many zoos and wildlife parks offer this as an option. You can choose from almost any creature from a humble squirrel right the way up to whales. Look for the option of a regular newsletter to keep the gift recipient informed of the progress of their adopted animal during the year.

2. Compile an unusual Christmas present from photographs, audio files and anything else you have to hand. This takes a bit longer to create than buying a present off the shelf but has the advantage that your Christmas gift is guaranteed to be unique and will be treasured for life.

3. Give the gift of a title. You can buy titles such as Lord and Lady online and then you have the added advantage that you can address your unusual Christmas present to the “Lord” or “Lady” to build up intrigue.

4. Buy a minute in time that means something to the person receiving the present. Any special moment from any time in their life can be registered and honored with a framed certificate. This is bound to be a talking point!

5. Give an experience. Anything from driving a Formula One motor car through to “boys toys” such as JCBs and diggers or a leisurely pamper day at a spa.

Once you start thinking about unusual Christmas presents, you’re sure to find weird ideas popping into your head at all times of the day and night. Use the to-do list on your cell phone to jot them down so that you remember them!
