The year is coming to an end and since November there has been one review of 2016 after the other. Time has flown by, it seems as the images of the last few weeks and months pass us by. At no other time of the year is the topic of time as present and as important as at the turn of the year. Why not choose decorative items for your own home and personal accessories for your outfit that have exactly that theme?
This article provides suggestions and tips for the upcoming New Year, which will cultivate the special mood in the time between the years.
Tip 1 for the New Year: A new watch often
It doesn't have to be the most expensive Rolex watches to put the finishing touches on your outfit for Christmas, between the years or New Year's Eve. At Kapten-son.com you canSelection of watchesabsolutely worth seeing, in both senses of the word. Watches with bracelets
• Manager,
• Mesh
• Nylon,
• Canvas,
• Gold or
• Silber
can be wonderfully combined with a wide variety of clothing styles. The watches are shown in combination with matching outfits. This inspires you to create your own creations. Whether casual, chic, elegant, sporty or festive - watches complete the external appearance, special watches even more so.
Watches make a statement and can perfect an outfit
Another fun idea is to carry a necklace with a watch (for women) or a valuable pocket watch (for men). At this special time of year, this is a constant reminder that everything is fleeting and the moment counts.
Tip 2: Door wreath with a clock face
Self-designed door wreaths with a clock face motif are creative and distinctive. One possibility is to use one that already existsChristmas door wreathDecorate it, wrap the container with a simple ribbon and then decorate it with a medium-sized, self-made clock face.
Another idea is to distribute the individual numbers and clock hands evenly on the wreath. In combination with strong colors, such a door wreath can appear colorful and cheerful. Such a wreath becomes discreet and stylish if it is reduced to the central numbers 12, 3, 6 and 9 in silver or matt gold.
Tip 3: Decorate tea lights with numbers
In many apartments and houses there are numerous tea lights in winter. These can also be decorated with “signs of the times”. Instead of colorful glass stones or sand, the year 2017 can be used in silver, gold or colorful for decoration. The year numbers are available in craft stores, often also in well-stocked beverage stores that offer decorative items for parties and celebrations. In combination with silver stars, which are somewhat reminiscent of the upcoming fireworks display, the tea lights can be decorated in no time.
Tip 4: Tonga – Germany – USA
First Tonga and Samoa celebrate the turn of the year, a few hours later China, the Philippines and Singapore follow, then it's Germany's turn along with many other European countries and finally the New Year begins on the United States Minor Outlying Island. In order to document this global event, several clocks can be hung next to each other on a wall, which announce the respective local time and date.
The choice of locations should be extremely individual. Why not
• the favorite holiday destination of the past year,
• the daughter's place of study during the semester abroad or
• choose the honeymoon location?
The intensive study of the last 12 months certainly brings to light some places that are of central importance for very personal reasons. TheOverview of New Year's time zoneshelps you determine the correct order and time.
Tip 5: Keep a scheduler by hand
Selected with love, managed with care - this is another way that pocket calendars can be used sensibly
It is common practice to organize your appointments using an app on your smartphone. It is more time-consuming to carry out planning using a haptic calendar. There are pocket calendars that divide each day into hours. These are usually quite extensive and thick if they are supposed to offer a certain amount of space for the entries. That's actually not necessary. To deal with the topic of time in a positive way, beautifully designed calendars from the stationery store are just right.
Anyone who decides to be careful with themselves and their time at the turn of the year will automatically give themselves a higher appreciation. TheSchedulerThanks to its weight and feel, it always reminds you of the importance of time. It literally melts between your fingers and is irretrievably lost. By the way, calendars are a popular gift at Christmas and can also bring joy as a birthday present in the first weeks of the new year.
Of course, carrying a calendar around day after day isn't for everyone - and it's not necessary. It's about planning the new year in advance, setting your own goals and putting a date on them. Then the planned resolutions for the new year become loudthis statisticwith statements like
• I would like to do more sport (again),
• I want to eat healthier,
• I would like to spend more time with friends and family or have more time for them and
• I would like to reach the next level on the career ladder
are far too vague. A calendar helps you achieve achievable goals. For example, if you enter in your new planner,
• register for a running group by January 30th at the latest,
• eat salad at least twice a week,
• to arrange a cocktail evening with your friends every month or
• to enforce a salary increase at the upcoming employee review,
thereby creates “facts” that are in black and white. Thinking, writing down and reading manifest certain goals much more sustainably than just thinking about them and then forgetting them again. The entered goals can of course be transferred to the calendar app on the smartphone, but they should have a special status.
Then, at the next turn of the year, you can look back on an eventful, varied and fulfilling year that is more colorful, more emotional and more important than all the annual reviews shown on television.
