Unique Serving Platter

A bathroom is a bathroom. There are only so many ways that this small area can be decorated and most of the ideas are old hat. A novelty shower curtain can breathe new life into this small and typically boring space in your home. The decorative curtains come in a plethora of themes and styles and they are so inexpensive that you can change the look of your bath frequently.

I like to change the décor in my home a little bit each season. As I do my “spring cleaning” I also try a new novelty shower curtain that reflects the spirit of the season. Since the colors in my bathroom are neutral I have a lot of options. Common choices for the spring season include soft, pastel colors or garden themes.

As summer approaches I am ready for a change. The pastels and gardens do wonders for welcoming spring, but summer is a time for fun. I love choosing a fun novelty shower curtain for this season to capture the carefree nature of this most favorite time of year. Sunflowers have adorned the bath as well as animal themes and bright rainbow colors during the summer months. One of my favorite summer novelty shower curtains is a see through version that is covered with colorful fish. This great detail for the bath was great fun and people remarked on the unique novelty shower curtain asking where I found it. This curtain is a keeper for next year as well.

Change in inevitable and with the closing of summer comes the most magnificent change of season. The colors of fall are breathtaking and they can be captured in a novelty shower curtain that seems to bring the outdoors inside. This brief time of year when the leaves change color and fall lasts about a month it seems, but you can extend the feeling of the season a little longer in your novelty shower curtain.

The holidays are wonderful. The winter brings back fond memories and thoughts of loved ones. Choosing a novelty shower curtain that reflects the spirit of the winter holiday season will bring warmth and comfort to your bath. The holiday theme can easily segue into a winter wonderland theme once you enter the New Year. During January and February I use the same novelty shower curtains I have used for years. The January curtain is light blue with lovely white snowflakes. The February novelty shower curtain is red and white, of course.

Some may think that it takes a lot of work to change décor to go with the seasons. It actually requires very little imagination or effort when you have the right novelty shower curtain as a foundation.

Are you buying for the person that seems to have everything? There are a lot of silly things you can buy, though that person does have to have a rather keen sense of humor to receive some of them. One great idea, especially if you don’t know what to get someone and you don’t have a lot of money, are novelty socks. It takes the right person to think this is a great gift, but almost anyone will get a kick out of them, even if they would never dream of wearing them.

Everyone has something they love. It might be something they collect, or a television show, movie, or cartoon that they are particularly fond of. If you know they like something like that, you can usually find novelty socks that will go with what they like. If they have a certain hobby like riding horses or if they are an artist or photographer, it’s not that hard to find novelty socks that would go with their hobby as well.

The reason why these works so well is that even though they are immensely impractical, they show you thought of them when you bought the gift rather than just grabbing something off of the shelf. Many times, the thought put into something is much more important than the gift itself. Novelty socks used to be something that children got from aunts and uncles for Christmas each year. Now they have been considered a much more acceptable gift, especially when they are given for the reasons of humor.

Novelty socks come with more than just pictures or silly designs. There are some that have no toes in them, and fit around the toes like a glove. I’m not really sure why these are around, but if you know someone who is weird about feet, they will die with laughter if you give them this type of novelty socks. You can find some that have hidden pockets in them that might have a surprise included. Others have things that hang from them.

Novelty socks in your local stores, usually with the normal socks or near the accessories section of the store. If you can’t find anything in your local stores that fits what you have in mind, you should be reasonably sure you can find something neat and unique online with a simple search. You may find other gift ideas when you search for those special socks as well.
