6 Gift Ideas for Travelers

· Leave a Comment

GIFT IDEAS FOR TRAVELERS

With Christmas just around the corner, it seems everyone is on the hunt for that perfect gift to give to the traveler in their life. According to a recent Access article, Travel and Tourism Statistics: The Ultimate Collection, Americans spent $1.1 trillion dollars on all things related to the travel industry in 2019.

With traveling one of the favorite pastimes of many people around the world, there are so many items that would make fun and useful things to give and receive, including these.

6 GIFT IDEAS FOR TRAVELERS

Here are 6 gift ideas for travelers.

GIFT IDEAS FOR TRAVELERS #1:  E-Bag Weekender Backpack

Almost every airline charges a fee for checking a bag on a domestic flight these days. For trips within the U.S. and even short weekend excursions, the Weekender backpack made by eBags is a perfect solution. It can hold several days worth of clothes and has many designated pockets for electronics, undergarments, and many other accessories. Even when stuffing it to the brim, the Weekender backpack still fits within the size requirements to qualify as a carry-on.

GIFT IDEAS FOR TRAVELERS #2: Travel Padlocks

There’s no such thing as being too safe in today’s world. A traveler can always use a good padlock for their suitcase, briefcase, or even rentable lockers in airports. The good news is that these are relatively inexpensive, so if you just spent a lot of money purchasing one of the Philadelphia homes for sale or a house anywhere else recently, this gift won’t break your budget.

Packing Cubes

Anyone who travels a lot knows how hard it can be to organize a suitcase, especially for long trips. If there is any product out there that helps when it comes to cutting down the clutter in your bag, it’s packing cubes. These inexpensive devices have so many purposes and can make packing and unpacking less stressful and easier to manage.

Travel Adapter

A travel adapter is incredibly useful for traveling abroad, and with all the different types of plugs on the market now, they are universally handy. Between the different Apple and Android devices and outlets, an adapter makes an ideal stocking stuffer for the traveler in your world.

Dry Shampoo

Everyone on the road often knows the annoying feeling of dirty hair after being on a long-haul overnight flight or in a car for hours. If you go several days without being able to take a shower, something as simple as dry shampoo can make all the difference in the world. It’s compact, inexpensive, and helps to make flat, oily hair looking and smelling fresh. While a shower is still the best option, dry shampoo is a close second.

Scratch Travel Maps

Many travelers are proud of where they go and love to display their adventures in their home for all to see. Scratch travel maps are a relatively new trend and have become extremely popular among the traveling community. Almost all of them start out with a black background and a gold layer of film over the map, and much like a scratcher lottery ticket, you use a coin to mark all the places that you’ve visited. They are fun to keep up with and are visually pretty to look at too.

Sira Print Custom Die-Cut Stickers How to Best Use

· 14 Comments

A small business branding secret: Sira Print Custom Die-Cut Stickers make generic items into brand boosting goods.

Balancing family and business? Some moms are entrepreneurs, busily building a small (or not so small!) business.

How Can I do small business branding on a budget?

Branding your business is key. And a great way to do that is with eye-catching print designs.

So we were intrigued to see a printery that can do ANYTHING, including printing your custom design.

Their name is Sira Print and we tried out their custom die cut stickers. It’s easy! Take a look.

Meet Sira Print! They print custom vinyl decals of your custom design, including custom-cut edges!

About Sira Print

There are lots of online printers with a dizzying array of design options.

Sometimes the design feels perfect for your business or project. Other times it is just okay.

But it is never exclusively yours, plenty of other businesses use those same designs as well. Maybe even your competitors! Sira Print helps your brand stand out.

Sira Print creates all kinds of stickers:

  • Cut out shapes including kiss cut.
  • custom sizes.

Any design you can make, they can print including:

  • formal
  • funny
  • sweet
  • offbeat

So we were excited to try them out and report our experience.

MATERIALS

Sira Print custom die cut stickers are not your run of the mill decals. They are made of high quality, durable vinyl.

They are:

  • Weatherproof
  • Waterproof
  • Bubble-free
  • Resistant to scratches
  • resistant to fading

Even when I fold the stickers, they don’t scratch, wrinkle or bubble.

Sira Print also does Kiss Cut Stickers and custom clear stickers.

How Sira Print Works

Ordering is easy!

Choose a design or photograph you already have, or create a new one. Full-color graphics, monograms, logos, or text. Replicate a photo, your artwork, or other design.

design

The hardest part for me was choosing my design!

  • It is easy to upload your company logo or other custom design. Both PNG or JPG images uploaded just fine.
  • But if you don’t have a logo or other design at the ready, there are lots of free stock images and fonts available, monograms, and logo creators to make an image for your stickers.
  • Don’t have Photoshop or another image editor? No problem, Sira Print has recommendations for you.
  • I did my design in Photoshop with a downloaded font. But any image editor you can save a quality png or jpg works.
  • I applied a Slightly metallic texture Photoshop Style to my text that I put in a foliage wreath design from a free stock photo website.
  • There are also monogram and logo generating programs.
  • And if you are particularly talented this is a great chance to show off your artist skills!
  • of course, your business logo or wedding theme element will work great here.

Unlimited font choices

Here is something we especially like about Sira Print: You are not limited to a printers fonts typesettings choices – they can print any font you want!!. whether MAC or PC, purchased, downloaded from free fonts or type foundry sites.

Use any font, in any language, even using glyphs, umlauts, and ligatures.

The custom design I uploaded.

Once you have your design ready, it is time to upload and customize the die cut stickers!!

How to Customize Sira Print Die Cut Stickers

Sira.com: Choose size, quantity, cut shape, and lamination finish for your dye cut stickers. Add any special instructions

Sira Print: Choose size, quantity, cut shape, and lamination finish for your dye cut stickers. Add any special instructions

The sticker customization process lets you choose the sticker size, including the custom size of your choosing.

Choose one of their standard sizes or indicate a custom size.

Add custom size to accommodate long designs

TIP: If you are doing a custom cut cutout shape sticker, get a slightly larger size to accommodate your design.

The custom size is especially helpful in incorporating stickers into DIY projects. Also, consider a larger size sticker for cut-outs so the focal image stands out.

QUANTITY

Choose how many stickers you need ranging from 50 to 1,000.

A unique feature of Sira Print is custom increments. Need exactly 107? Sira Print lets you order in any increment you need. You don’t need to order an increment of 25 and have 16 spares just for that extra seven.

Sira Print’s Custom Quantity lets you order only the exact amount you need

CUT SHAPE

Cut out options include:

  • custom cut
  • rounded corners
  • oval/round
  • rectangle/square

Custom cut shows off irregular borders to make your image pop!

FINISH

Select Glossy or Matte finish

Finish options

Upload your image and you are ready to checkout!

Sira Print is goof-proof

Oops! I meant to upload my transparent png but uploaded a white background jpg instead!

When I realized, I wondered if they wouldn’t know what I wanted the cutout design to look like. But Sira Print soon sent me this PDF proof and it showed me exactly how it would look. It was just how I wanted it, but if it wasn’t, I could make any adjustments needed.

Here is part of the design proof Sira Print sent prior to production

Sira Print emailed me this Production Proof before printing.

I approved the design, and Sira Print got to work on my stickers!

THE Result

It is sticker day! A few days have passed, and today my stickers arrived in the mail. Not bad since it custom prints then ships from Niagara Falls.

My Sira Print order arrived in a padded bubble mailer.

Packaging

Inside the padded envelope, the stickers were in two resealable super sturdy baggies. The baggies kept them safe in shipment and are strong enough for permanent storage.

Sira Print Stickers come in sturdy resealable baggies.

THE SIRA PRINT STICKER EXPERIENCE

SO vibrant!!!

They turned out just like I envisioned.

Every sticker was in perfect shape, no bent or crooked cuts. They are a thick vinyl material that won’t rip or bend.

Durable vinyl stickers stick inside and outside.

My order of 100 stickers included eleven EXTRA stickers as a bonus! Nice!

My 100 sticker order plus 11 extra stickers

The font is crisp, not jagged. It gives the look of slightly metallic just like my Photoshop Style.

I love the die-cut edges, it really makes the leaves of my design pop!

Check out the close-up print detailing:

The dye cut edges are crisp with no jagged wispy bits.

The colors are true to the original and clear with no tiny dots or blurring.

Look at this macro closeup to see the print quality and the custom cut edges.

Gifts for Mom: Eddie Funkhouser Sexy Mama Bedroom Eyes Palette + All Eye Need Set

· 8 Comments

A few gift idea deals in the Eddie Funkenhouser Drama for Mama Mother’s Day Shop this week. The first is the Eddie Funkhouser Sexy Mama Bedroom Eyes Palette + All Eye Need Set.

Eddie Funkhouser Cosmetics Sexy Mama Bedroom Eyes Palette

Eddie Funkhouser Cosmetics Sexy Mama Bedroom Eyes Palette

About The Sexy Mama Bedroom Eyes Palette

The Eddie Funkhouser Sexy Mama Bedroom Eyes Palette features:

  • Shimmering white, not gray enough to be quite silver.
  • Lavender rose
  • Smokey purple
  • Matte smokey taupe
Close up of shadow pans

Close up of the shadow pans

This quad is highly versatile. The colors work for basic day makeup and transition to nighttime and weekend looks.

High pigment and smooth formulation. There is some fallout during application. But once the shadow is on, it stays put, even after several hours. The shimmer shades blend well over the matte taupe. Layering doesn’t look cakey, even when combining matte and shimmer shades.

EddieFunkhouser.com gives product application tips. A suggestion for this palette: “contour the crease of the eye with a dark shade using an Eye Contour Brush. Apply a second application of the same shade to the crease of the eye using a Crease Brush.”

Eddie Funkhouser BONUS

In the Eddie Funkhouser Mother’s Day Shop Buy the palette and get a bonus All Eye Need Eye Set.

The All Eye Need Eye Set contains:

  • Quatro Variable Lash Mascara has four incremented of dots on the cap. This is the FX Dial with 4 levels from natural (1) to extreme (4). “Click” it to the desired intensity. I really like the wand brush shape as the bristles are highly defined for even application. Long-wearing and BLACK BLACK BLACK lashes. Doesn’t make my eyes itchy and doesn’t flake. Conditioning formula.
Unique bristles define and separate while coating and combing every lash

  • Creamy Graffiti Creme Eye Pencil has a built-in smudger and sharpener. It is a VIVID JET BLACK. Create a softer line with a light hand and using the smudger tip. The black tones of the two liners match. This is ideal for filling in bare spots on your basic line or for touchups. Still perfecting your eyeliner game or are out of practice? This pencil is basically goof-proof. It is long-lasting for such a creamy formula. Built-in sharpener keeps the line crisp.
  • The Ultra Definition Eye Lining Stylus is truly excellent for drawing an even, precise liquid line. There is no skipping or tugging. The flow is even and continuous. The brush tip is thin but can deliver a thick line when angled. Once it is dry, it stays put.

One of my biggest liquid liner pet peeves is an uneven flow. I find it results in some thicker line sections that require the rest of the eye to be re-lined in to even out the line.

I was able to draw a very thin and even line with the Ultra Definition Eye Lining Stylus using the tip straight on. It is just the right amount of liner for the office to look awake and alert. Using the Ultra Definition Eye Lining Stylus on an angle does a thicker cat-eye top line. Ideal for filling in between lashes with tiny dots for a lusher looking lash line.

It wears well without major touchups. I am not gifted at the art of eyelining and value a product that makes it easy to get it right the first time. I particularly like the precision of this liner. I can get my line as thin (or thick) as I want without lots of fuss.

ABOUT EDDIE FUNKHOUSER COSMETICS
