This Christmas, we wanted to help make gifting more meaningful. When you give someone an experience day, you give them something that's going to last forever - a memory. We love our gadgets, booze and shower gel sets as much as you do. But life's short and there's so much still to do. We want you to share in moments you'll never forget together; to give somebody special to you something that'll be special for them. Gifts that'll go on to take pride of place on the mantelpiece. Our cute 3D friends get it. Notice how they literally don't stop smiling? That's because they've made 2016 a #ChristmasToRemember. He's just a down to earth fella who wears a t-shirt underneath his shirt and she puts as much thought into special occasions as into that immaculate fringe. They've nailed it and won't be forgetting this Christmas anytime soon. "Virgin Experience Days 2016 Christmas Advert - What Memories Will You Create This Christmas?"

JT's Grommet Island Beach Park, located on the shores of East Coast surfing's birthplace, is an ADA-compliant, fully accessible Oceanfront park; in fact, it's the only oceanfront playground of its kind in the country. This 15,000-square-foot beach park features wheelchair-accessible entrances and an incredible playground that includes poured-in-place surfacing, raised sand tables for sandcastle building at an accessible height, a sensory board for children and a sway boat. "Grommet" boasts sculptural features such as dolphins, a surfboard and a wave, all of which are fully accessible for children, who can imagine catching a wave and swimming with the dolphins, while playing right on the sand. The playground also has accessible seating areas with umbrellas. At "Grommet," visitors can enjoy easier beach access and the opportunity to never have to miss a day out on the beach. "Grommet Island Special Features" You're doing great! You were awesome. This particular spot where we're shooting today, which we called Grommet, is one, this is the birthplace of surfing for on the East Coast. A lot of people may not realize that but this is sorta where it all began. Also, behind the Grommet Island is the only special needs playground that exists in the country on the ocean front. The inspiration for this shoot actually came from my late mother-in-law who was confined to a wheelchair from MS, and she used to love to come to the beach and, they were from Northern Virginia and a lot of other beaches they visited didn't have sand access for the handicapped. We understand the challenges of bringing someone to the beach and not having access to the sand. And it really feels like they're not part of the beach experience when really, that's all we want them to be. So, Virginia Beach's Grommet Island offers people the chance to enjoy the beach and live the life that we all get to live and kind of take for granted every day. Uh, well, Allie gets to be free out here. She just loves the sand, loves to swim, just loves the water. It's just a great place for her to have an outlet. Well, I love the handicap access, the fact that we can just push the wheelchair right down and get her right out to the water without a lot of toting all of our equipment and everything with us. It's one thing to just make sure she's safe to get down here and then I have my little boys help me carry all the other gear down, so, it's just a great place to bring children with special needs for sure. Hands down, what we finished today with Allie was like, the most amazing piece that I've ever been involved in. It was just so real and the footage we got, we were just looking at the back of the camera and I started to tear up actually at one point, it was so powerful. Hands down, like, the most coolest thing I've ever shot in my life.

Morning madness is part of life. Comfortable, organized bedrooms and bathrooms can make mornings a little better! "IKEA Morning Anthem: Bedrooms and Bathrooms" Mornings. They're bad breath, bad hair and a bad case of the Mondays. And organized wardrobes that help you pull it together. They're showering, shaving and shuffling. And bathrooms that get big families out the door. They're number ones, number twos and a number of ideas for three. Life's morning madness and comfortable, organized bed and bathrooms that make them better. (Lyrics) mornings with IKEA IKEA first59.com for more inspiration

This commercial for Nutella hazelnut spread begins with a mother opening the cupboard to grab a jar of Nutella for her family's breakfast. The mom puts the jar down, but it is picked up again, this time by a man who operates a food truck. He uses Nutella as a delicious topping for the waffles he sells. The food truck man tosses the jar of Nutella to a family who is camping. Two of the campers are sitting at a picnic table eating breakfast, using the Nutella to spread on their fruit kabobs. The mother of the campers passes the jar on to a woman who is having a snack at her desk at work - Nutella on apple slices. The woman passes the jar on to a mother who is feeding her young daughter breakfast. The daughter makes a smiley face on her pancake using Nutella spread. Spread the happy. "Spread the Happy | Forever Nutella - Nutella TV Commercial Ad" With ingredients like roasted hazelnuts, skim milk and cocoa, there's a whole lot of happy in every jar of Nutella. Spread the happy.

Maybe it's just four walls And the spaces in between But this is where we wake up and fall asleep And I can't think of another place that I would rather be So these are the only walls for me I don't want to get out of bed Won't you wake me gently please Or maybe come lie down a little while with me Life ain't always easy dear, but happiness is free So won't you just stay a while with me Maybe it's just four walls But that don't mean a thing They could be paper thin or bourgeoisie 'Cause what's inside will bona fied Turn a pauper into a queen So these are the only walls for me What's inside are the things that I need to put my heart at ease These are the only walls for me
