    While the 18-hole championship course situated within the 840-acre estate of Adare Manor is any golfer's dream come true, you don't need to be an avid putt-putter to enjoy the unbelievably romantic expanse of the castle resort accommodations. The 5-star hotel draws visitors from all over the globe with its gorgeous manor architecture and nearby villas, fishing and equestrian activities, wine tasting, historical tours, and of course, fine dining at its sophisticated Oakroom Restaurant. But despite its luxe lodgings and offerings, I have to admit what's really luring me in -- actually staying in a real castle in the middle of that lush Ireland scenery would be like living out my wildest fairytale fantasies I've had since childhood! Take a look at the slideshow to be further tempted to book a flight to Ireland for your next princess-worthy vacay!

    In need of something relaxing, romantic, and tasty? Perhaps it's time for some time away in a valley famous for the production of great-tasting California-grapes. Perhaps it's time for wine! The vintners of Napa Valley sure know a thing or two about viticulture, and the five million-or-so people a year who visit sure know a thing or two about picking a vacation destination. There's a lot to see -- and taste-- from giant, well-known wineries to small, boutique wineries, so those with a thing for drinking have attractions abound to explore. Whether you're just staying the night to sleep off a day of guzzling grape juice, or enjoying a weekend or more of first class accommodations, a peek at this slideshow will guide you to experiencing some of Napa County's best-acclaimed resorts!

    Father's Day Gifts For The Man's Man And Sports Fan

    Is your dad the type who parks his rear in his recliner for hours on end whenever there's a sports game on TV, only rising to yell out a whoop of futile encouragement when his favored team scores or when he needs a refill of his chips and salsa? If any or all of that description rang alarmingly true, you probably don't need me to tell you that you have a sports lover dad on your hands. And with that said, he probably already has more than enough team spirit in the form of baseball caps, football jerseys, and other clothing brandishing his favorite team mascots, so what else do you get the fanatic father who can't get enough sports paraphernalia? What about a handy snack helmet that will hold his mandatory chips-n-dip fix while hopefully keeping the crumbs off the carpet (because we all know he won't clean up after himself, especially on Father's Day)? Or how about a waterproof tennis table for the pool, just in time for summer, if your dad is the active type who likes to actually play sports in addition to obsessively watching them on the flat screen. Check out the slideshow for some winning gift ideas for the diehard sports fan dads!

    So you're getting ready to plunk down that credit card for an extravagant present for your very deserving father, but then you realize you still have bills to pay and groceries to buy. So what are you supposed to do? You can let those bills pile up, but that's never good to pay important bills so late. The best bet is to buy something he'll love and you can afford! Afterall, he is your dad and was appreciative of the "artwork" you made when you were young, right? For the handy dad who always comes to anyone's rescue, take a look at the Classic SD Swiss Army Knife. If your dad is an avid golfer but has a messy golf bag, give him a Golf Gear Case that has a space for all his tees, shoes, and even sunblock. Take a look at my slideshow for some Father's Day gifts you won't need to starve yourself in order to afford!

    Hypothetically, let's say that your boy-toy is the kind of guy to already have every mainstream toy or gadget the second it's released, and already has his camp-out gear ready by the door in preparation for the next Black Friday sale at Best Buy. Or perhaps you and your man have just been together for longer than you both can remember and you've already exhausted every trite Valentine's Day gift-giving ritual. Or maybe your boyfriend just always manages to get you the most original, thoughtful, never-before-seen gifts (and you never understand how on Earth he does it) and the only thing you ever manage to come up with for him in return is a gift card. If any of these very specific scenarios hit just a little too close to home for you - don't fear! Stylehive is here to provide you some assistance in your quest for the perfect Valentine's Day gift that I can almost guarantee he doesn't already have stashed under his bed somewhere (don't forget to check out our Personalized Gifts For Him post too!). From a Beer of the Month Club membership for the guy who loves his ale to a state-of-the-art two part locator device for the space-case who's always misplacing his keys (or the remote), these gifts ideas are bound to please even the most finicky, tech-savvy, or creative man-friends of yours. Check the slideshow for more imaginative Valentine's Day gift ideas for your man!

    Every year, I can't wait to get the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book in the mail to see what kinds of extravagant and outrageous gifts they have in store this year. From exclusive handbags and designer duds to limited edition titanium fighter motorcycles, they have everything anyone could want - or at least dream of owning! Every page is filled with big-ticket gifts for your loved ones - or yourself - that will literally cause your jaw to drop. Beer drinkers can purchase the construction of an authentic Guinness Pub in their home, or golf enthusiasts can design a golf course with the world famous Jack Nicklaus. My personal favorite (other than all the spectacular jewelry and exclusive Marc Jacobs bag) is the M-Velope, a moveable and transformable structure that doubles as an art piece. Now I just need to find someone who can afford to buy me the $100,000 structure and the land for it to go on! Want to see more luxurious gifts? Check out the slideshow!
