Hey, adverts can be pretty annoying, right? I know how it is; I don't like it when I'm browsing a site and I accidentally trigger an awful flash ad where a big, freakish iPhone starts singing at me. That's why here I'll only ever serve up nice banners that behave properly. This website is a personally-funded hobby, and without donation/advert revenue I won't be able to keep it going. Please, if you enjoy the site, consider adding it to your AdBlock whitelist—it really does make a difference.

With Labor Day coming up this weekend, you might be scrounging for some great recipes to impress your barbeque guests. Have no fear! At CoppinsGifts.com, we have a few easy salads and other dishes to help you send off summer the right way, as well as a beautiful “You are Special” red plate to serve them on!
Start by grilling the 10 ears of corn until they look slightly charred. When finished, take the corn off of the cob and place into a large mixing bowl. Next, add chopped onions, tomatoes, and herbs. Then add your lime juice and Olive Oil, gently mixing all the ingredients together. Add your salt and pepper to taste. You can serve this delicious salad warm or chilled, which makes it perfect for your end of the year outdoor barbeque!
Put your sliced tomatoes in a pie dish, or some sort of baking pan. Add your olive oil by putting your tomatoes in half-way, letting them soak up all the oil for 30 minutes. Dry off excess oil off with a paper towel. Press into your breadcrumbs and enjoy as a nice, light, vegetarian snack!
Put all ingredients into a large pan and reduce them down until they are soft. Serve over ice cream or cheesecake for a delicious dessert that will have everyone wanting more!
Your child’s birthday is a momentous day, which usually involves some cake, a friend or two, and some form of entertainment. When your kids are really young, it may be hard to throw a party they can also enjoy. Coppin’s Gifts has the memorable collection of Precious Moments birthday train figurines that are ideal for a reoccurring gift for your child. We’ve also put together some great birthday party tips to keep in mind so you and your child can make memories to last a lifetime.
Keep it short: Make sure to plan a short birthday party for your child. Once all the young kids get tired, the
birthday party will turn into one, big cranky-fest. Make sure you plan the party for the afternoon (post-nap) so the little ones have energy to enjoy the party!
Lots of balloons: Kids adore balloons. It’s a fact of life. Make sure you pick foil or Mylar balloons so that the small kids do not choke on them. Helium balloons are always a great souvenir to take home with them, too!
Take it easy: Don’t stress. If something goes wrong, make sure not to freak out. We know it can be a really stressful day planning a party, but try not to get too worked up over such a fun, exciting, and celebratory day!
Check your food: Anyone have a food allergy you should be aware of? Make sure you call the kids’ parents to check beforehand.
