HOLIDAY DECORATING
Tips for Displaying Collectibles
Your love for collecting is an extension of your personality
and should reflect in your home decor. However, not all of use are
able to do justice to the wonderful pieces we collect. Often, the
collected figurines and vintage items become an eyesore instead of
bringing joy to the heart and you begin wondering if you should
start cutting down on your favorite collecting hobby.
Well, you don't have to. You just need to find ways to display
your stuff creatively so that it looks like a breathtaking
collection instead of household clutter.
1. Confine your collections to one place or display them in
several groups around the house. Grouping the objects makes them
seem important and your guests will take notice of your collected
pieces.
2. Decide upon the kind of platform that will be needed to
display your collections. For smaller items like shells, stones and
pebbles, a tray will be enough. For larger items like figurines and
vintage mirrors, you will need shelves. Some items like vintage lace
handkerchiefs and stamps can be mounted in frames and arranged on
walls. Pretty buttons and vintage fabric swatches can be sewn on to
fabric and then mounted.
3. It is not required that you display your entire collection at
once. You can display only some of it and place the rest in
cupboards and keep rotating the items for fresh displays every time.
4. When displaying your collections, try to make them as creative
as possible. Group together some items of the same color together
and place them along a contrasting color. Do not use too many colors
at one single place.
5. Displaying all collectibles at the eye level makes the display
monotonous. Arrange the collectibles at varying heights by using
tiered shelves or group items of different heights together. Make a
large piece the center of attraction by placing it at eye level and
then group several smaller items around it.
6. Many of use have more than one collections to boast of. If you
are devoting an entire shelf or wall for displaying collections,
make the best use of it by rotating different collections on it.
Rotate mirrors with figurines on shelves and shadowboxes, vintage
linen in frames with paintings on a wall or shells with pebbles on a
tray. This will ensure that you have a fresh display for your guests
every time and also act as an outlet for your creativity.

HOLIDAY TRAVEL
Online Bookings Make Air Travel Cheaper And More
Comfortable
The air traveler never had it so good. With hundreds of low-cost
and full service airlines flying to the remotest locations of the
world, and offering air fares lower than train fares, air travel is
now everyone's cup of tea.
As a popular TV commercial for an airline depicts, people are
actually taking a return flight to the nearest metro city for a
shopping trip or for an appointment with a high-flying hair stylist!
Gone are the days when a plane trip would be a style statement for
the selected few. With the penetration of high speed internet in
small towns and cities and with airlines offering cheap web fares,
more and more people are preferring to give their travel agent a
miss, and booking their tickets online. There are now several
websites offering online ticket bookings for all domestic and
international airlines under one roof.
Online booking has several advantages over traditional paper
ticket bookings:
Cheaper Airfares: Airlines are looking to sell all vacant
seats and they offer surprisingly cheap airfares on the internet. It
is much cheaper for airlines to announce these fares online or via
email rather than advertise them in the media. So people who book
online always get the best deals and offers that are never
advertised in the TV or print media. Last minute offers that are
only available online can mean a huge saving on your travel bill and
help airlines fill vacant seats. Airlines also offer cheaper
airfares for seats that are booked months in advance, as they want
to ensure long term booking commitments. Most of the time you can
get the same plane seat for almost 50% less price online, if you
book a month in advance.
Wider Choice of Flights: When you book a flight ticket
online, you get a wider choice of flights for a particular sector.
You can see whether the airline is a full service or a low-cost
airline. You can compare the type of aircraft, the time taken by the
flight and whether it is non-stop or a hopping flight. Thus, you can
make a better informed and cost-effective decision. Travel agents
will typically try to sell you tickets on an airline that gives them
higher commissions. But when you book online, you choose the airline
and aircraft of your choice.
Safe and Secure Bookings: With the advent of SSL
encryption (Secure Socket Layer), your online credit card
transactions are completely safe. All online travel booking websites
offer 128 bit SSL encryption when asking for personal data, like
your name, address and credit card number. Whenever you are
providing this information online, make sure that the website
address has changed from http:// to https://. The additional 's'
stands for 'secure' and means that the connection from your computer
to the booking website's server is a secure connection. Also make
sure that you see a padlock icon in the lower right corner of your
browser. All data sent over such a secure connection is encrypted
and can only be read by the party that it was meant for. Even if
someone hacks into the connection, he will see only garbage data.
The chances of someone stealing your credit card information online
are the same as someone stealing your credit card slips when you
shop at a store. Now with almost every bank offering credit cards to
its customers, online air ticket bookings have increased manifold.
Online booking websites like Expedia.com, Yatra.com, MakeMyTrip.com
and FlightGuru.in are booking more than a million air tickets
everyday!
Choose your seat and Web Check-in: When you book a plane
ticket online, you can see a seat map for your aircraft and choose
your seat online. So now you can have your favorite window seat or
aisle seat or choose a seat near the exit that gives you extra
legroom. Most online booking websites also offer a web check-in
facility. If you are traveling with just cabin baggage and do not
have any check-in baggage, you can web check-in for your flight up
to 48 hours in advance and print your boarding pass on your home or
office printer. So you just walk up to security check and board your
flight. No more standing in long check-in queues at the airport!
As you can see, online booking always gets you
cheap
flight tickets and assures you of the
lowest airfares. So the next time you are flying, save yourself
a lot of trouble and money, and book your
airline tickets online.
