If you’re a vaper who’s planning to go on vacation, it’s highly likely that you’ll be planning on taking your trusty e-cigarette with you – vacations can be traps for many ex-smokers with the tempting offer of duty free and cheap cigarettes, and many vacation destinations are in locations that still heavily promote the tobacco industry. As an ex-smoker, you’ll be wanting to avoid all of this, so what better way to take your e-cigarette along for the ride in order for you to be able to get your nicotine fix as and when you need it without succumbing to smoking conventional cigarettes. Here are just a few things that you’ll need to know before travelling with your e-cig.

Some Countries Have Banned Them

Yes – some countries have actually banned e-cigs but continue to allow the smoking of regular tobacco and cigarettes, a move we haven’t quite been able to get our head around either. However, if you’re travelling to one of these countries, you will need to be aware that if you are seen using your e-cigarette, you’re likely to have it taken off you and could also be landed a hefty fine. Visitors to Singapore will be faced with a fine if caught using an e-cig, and they’re also banned in Brazil and Egypt. It’s a good idea to check the legal status of the country you’re visiting regarding e-cigarettes and vaping before you go, as regulations vary between different countries.

Flying and Vaping

The vast majority of airlines will not allow you to vape whilst on the flight, and treat electronic cigarettes much the same as a conventional cigarette – you will usually need to go to the smoker’s shelter or designated smoking area to vape at an airport. When it comes to getting through customs you will usually be allowed to take an e-cigarette and up to two batteries in your hand luggage, and you can put e-liquids in the clear plastic bag provided they’re under 100ml and the total of your liquids does not exceed 1 liter.

Buying Accessories Abroad

Many countries abroad do not have a great selection of e-liquids and other e-cigarette accessories on sale, so it’s a wise idea to stock up before you go and take as many e-liquids and spare parts (which can be bought from tastyvapor.us) along with you as you can. If you’re visiting some European countries such as Portugal you may be able to buy e-cigarettes and e-liquids, however they are not quite as popular yet as they are in the United States and United Kingdom, and you may find it’s a bit of a task to find a basic e-liquid mixture, plus you should also be aware that many other countries aren’t subject to the same regulations and the e-liquids might have additional ingredients in them that you’re not used to.

Have you travelled with an e-cigarette? Where did you travel to, and were there any restrictions? If you have any advice for fellow travelling vapers, we’d love to hear from you in the comments.

As a mom, it can seem like you’re constantly buying gifts. If it’s not your little girl’s birthday, it’s your boys. Neither of those and your husband’s is probably just around the corner. Christmas is never far away either. There are also friends, other family members and the random gifts we end up buying people throughout the year.  I digress, but with that in mind it sure would be nice if there was a helpful little guide you could use to buy anyone a gift. Well, now you’re in luck because there is.

Gifts For Young Boys

You might have noticed there was recently an uproar in a small town in America. It was on the news that they had stopped selling items that were specifically for boys or specifically for girls. Instead, everything was unisex. Now, I don’t know about your kids but I’m pretty sure my little boy would not like something I’d pick out for a girl. Maybe it’s just me, but I still differentiate between presents for little boys and little girls. For my son, he’s still quite young bless him, so I tend to stick to the simpler things. You never know when they are going to become disinterested in something you have bought them. This can be a nightmare if you have spent five hundred dollars on a games console that is now sitting in the corner not being used! Instead of going down this route, I like to buy colouring books, toy planes and cars as well as a few little knick knacks. They keep him entertained and when he’s at an older age, I’ll start buying him more expensive presents.

Gifts For Girls

I have a niece, and she is still obsessed with Frozen. I honestly don’t think it’s every going out of fashion. After all, they have announced a sequel is on its way, so I guess we’re going to be stuck with that one for quite some time. Luckily, Disney is providing. There’s lots of merchandise available for the Frozen obsessed little girl. Whether you want to shell out the cash to pay for it, that’s up to you. If you’ve got an older girl to buy for, try to look for Descendants merch. This is pretty much the new High school Musical. Remember HSM? I miss it. Bring out HSM 4 I say!

Gifts For Old Moms And Dads

As for the parents, I always stick with either a calendar or diary. Basically, a small present that they can use all year around. After all, everyone wants a calendar for Christmas don’t they and they never seem disappointed. You can get a really good family calendar online with whatever kind of picture and format you like online. They always put it up without fail, so I’m counting it as a win.

Don’t worry I know there’s someone missing from this list, husband’s. But come on, we all know what they want don’t we…socks!

Movie Memorabilia

Remember all those nights you forced yourself to stay up with your husband watching his favourite film? Remember how he used to talk the whole way through each time, explaining everything in every scene? Of course you remember, how could you forget!? Well, all that will finally come in handy when their birthday rolls around. Think about getting them some memorabilia from their favourite film. If they’re a Star Wars fan, think about buying them a replica lightsaber. Obviously if they aren’t a fan, buy them something from the film they love. A gift like this is incredibly thoughtful and will trigger manly tears of joy.

Wine/Beer Hampers

Alcohol is always a good gift idea for your man. But there’s nothing special about giving them a bottle of wine or six-pack of beer. This is where gift hampers come in handy. They’re a nice way to give your husband some alcoholic treats while still looking thoughtful. They also make popular Father’s day gifts, because they’re so neatly packaged. Find a beer/wine hamper that has everything you want in it and give it to your husband. It will be the best alcohol related gift they’ve ever received.

DIY Tools

Consider getting them a nice new toolset for their birthday. No doubt your man considers himself something of a handyman around the house. So, what better way to fuel his passion than by getting him some DIY tools? Now he’ll have all the equipment needed to carry out DIY projects around the house. Hey, who knows, you might even benefit from this. Maybe one day you’ll wake up, and he’s completely revamped the house for you! I’d also suggest you get him a tool belt to go with his tools. Men seem to love having their tools on a belt, I don’t know why. Perhaps it makes them feel like they have a Batman style utility belt?

Sports Tickets

I’d bet my house that your fella spends his weekends watching his favourite sport and screaming at the telly. Well, you aren’t alone, my husband does this and so do pretty much everyone else’s too. If they’re such a big sports fan, what better gift than tickets to a match?! Buy them tickets to see their favourite team in action. If it means you have to endure live sports in a stadium surrounded by loud men, then so be it. It’s your man’s special day, so you have to treat him!

Any one of these gifts will make your husband’s day. If you want, you can get a couple of things on this list too. Just say that one thing’s from you and another is from the kids!

It is important that all people realize the importance of charitable giving to help solve some of the many problems that are plaguing the world today. A fundraiser in your community is a great way for everyone to come together for a good cause. Here are some tips for planning a fundraiser that will help to ensure success.

Plan well ahead of time

Many people have busy schedules, so planning ahead will help them to be able to fit your fundraiser into their schedule and spread the message to others. Make sure that everyone is aware of their role so that there is no misunderstanding.

Use ideas that can bring everyone together and make giving easy

A dinner fundraiser, such as a BBQ, can be a great way to get people rallied together. Local stores might even be willing to donate food. A charity car wash is another idea that requires little in the way of inputs. You just need a few people willing to work, a location, and a small amount of supplies. Live music is another way to ensure that others take notice of your event and cause. You might even plan an event with food and music so that everyone can have a nice night out and raise awareness and funds. You can also take on two causes at once if you want. For example, a fundraiser dinner or musical event can act as a food drive as well. You might tell people that they save a dollar if they bring two cans of food.

Get input from others in your community

You don’t have to do all the planning yourself. In fact, you really shouldn’t try to do all the planning. Others in your community likely have some fantastic ideas that can help make your event a lot more successful. If you are a member of any organizations, then you might form an action group to plan events. There are a lot of great causes out there that need help, so deciding upon one or two can be hard. Many people choose to fundraise for cancer research because it is a disease that comes in many forms and has a huge impact on the quality of life of a large amount of people. Research allows those such as the Curie Institute to work towards more affordable and effective cures for people all over the world.

Utilize social media

Social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, will make it easy to advertise your event. In fact, you can create an event in Facebook and send electronic invitations to everyone on you or your organization’s friend list.  With a few simple clicks, you can make it possible to allow others to invite people on their lists. This means you reach a lot of people very quickly, and you can even get an idea of just how popular your event seems to be so that you can more easily plan for it and make it an event to remember.
