Amanda S asked:
I work for a small home based business where it's typically just me and my boss (the business owner) in the office. I have been here for 3 years. In the past I have given her Christmas gifts such as handmade earrings I purchased from a local silversmith, gift cards of sizable amounts, and other gifts of considerable effort/cost. She has given me such things as a tin of hot cocoa or a pair of socks. Considering the length of time I have worked here and the closeness of our work and personal relationship, is she just being thoughtless, or am I to take the hint that the scale of my gifts is too great? I had planned to give her a nice pashmina shawl and a necklace I made this year, but now I'm not sure it will be appreciated. She has also never offered me a holiday bonus.
It's not really the cost that matters to me, it's the fact that I put thought and effort into choosing something nice and personal that she would like, and it seems like she just picked something up at the drugstore.
Exactly, it's the THOUGHT.... I put a lot of effort into choosing my gifts and her gifts seemed thoughtless to me.

Do You Care Your Baby’s Ear ?
June 25, 2009 By Leave a Comment
We usually take extreme care to our baby's eyes, skins, nose, etc but often avoid protecting one of their sensitive organs, that is their ears. Ears are often the most neglected organ of our body that we don't care about. However your baby's eardrums are not as strong as yours. You might avoid protection of your ears but not your children.
Children’s hearing is extremely sensitive and they have almost no protection against harmful noise. You might be wondering what type of noises can be harmful for your baby? There are a lot... Fireworks, Loud Music, Thunderstorms, Bullet Sound, etc.
For the children below three years, ear defenders can be a source of problems if it falls out or pulled by the child. Inserting ear plugs into an infant'stiny ears with out hurting him is not easy for parents. Amid these the airtight seal must be ensured because without this most plugs will not provide the rated noise protection. Peltor Junior Muffs are good for this age of babies. You can use ear band-it for water protection, noise protection and for relief from pressure and noise during flying.
Children more than 3 years of age usually prefer muffs rather than ear plugs. The moldable silicon ear plugs are the most comfortable and are used during sleep and for water protection. Reusable swim plugs are good for them as they save lots of money in the long run.
When/Where to Use Ear-Plugs?
The sound of fireworks could have worst effect on your baby's ears. So if you are going to a fireworks display then you must have some protection for their ear's.
Places where there are a lot of loud noise, such as discos, party places, then make sure that you protect your children's ears using ear defenders.
It is considered good practice to put on your children ear defenders when you go to market or other public places.
The sound of planes are quite harsh and affect your baby's ears badly. So don't forget to put on ear plugs during air travel.

The ear defenders are very comfortable and easy to wear. They don't have any protruding parts that can catch any thing.
The ear defenders have wide, comfortable sealing rings and are filled with foams and fluid that provide low contact pressure and optimum sealing.
Ear defenders can be used for long hours without any problem, ensuring the best possible comfort for your children.
The ear plugs/defenders are non-toxic and don't harm your children even if they lick them.
