There will always be the surprise dinner your spouse forgets to tell you about or the birthday you forgot (oops) so it is always good to have a stash of gifts in your home. Every now and again I will share a gift tip that will make your life easier...and come in handy for last minute gift options.
The first tip I will share with you is to always keep a few bottles of wine in your home to share as a hostess gift, birthday present or some other occasion that warrants a gift.
Most of us keep a bottle or two around the home but to make the gift extra special also keep wine bags too. Wine bags can be found in various wine stores as well as your local Target. Wine bags are the extra step and show that the gift was thought about more than just coming with a naked bottle. Of course, attaching a note would just be the icing on the cake.

Go Red For Women and shop for a good cause
February may be the shortest month of the year but it has alot going on! Not only is it Black History Month and it's also Heart Month.
During this month, the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women cause initiative kicked off throughout the Charlotte metro area. This initiative encourages everyone to share the message of awareness and action regarding women and heart disease.
Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women and men. According to the American Heart Association, diseases of the heart and cardiovascular system claim nearly one million lives per year—one life every 36 seconds. That’s more people annually than the next four most common causes of death combined.
One way people can help this month is by supporting local businesses who are going red. More than 70 retailers in Charlotte are participating in the month-long awareness campaign by offering special events and deals.
Stores are in Ballantyne Village, The Shops at Blakeney, Piper Glen, Promenade on Providence, Stonecrest, Phillips Place, Morrison and Speciality Shops on the Park are offering special promotions and deals. All places have Go Red ballot boxes for customers to sign up for a $1,000 shopping spree.
For more information call 704-208-5513 or visit goredforwomen.org.
