Give the Gift of Relaxation this Christmas

What stressful times we are living in! How many times do you think "just let me get away from the bad news for a little while, let me escape and relax." My escape place is my hammock, with a cup of tea and a good book. Within 1 minute, all the cares of the world have disappeared, at least for a short while. I guess we all must come back to reality sooner or later, but it is so nice to escape and relax for a while.

So, why not give your family and friends the gift of relaxation this year. My suggestion is a hammock, some tea and a good book as a package. At bayhammocks.com we want to help you create this gift so are offering a pre- Christmastea and hammock sale.

All our hammocks will be on sale, 20% off, until November 30 2008. With the hammock we will include a box of King Cole Tea (a Nova Scotia favourite). You can use your savings on the hammock to purchase the book - that is a very personal thing and we are not in the book business.

Children love hammocks but many parents are hesitant to let them use them because of safety concerns. There is really no reason to worry if proper precautions are taken and a few simple rules observed.

First rule: Buy the right hammock. The hammock you choose should be sturdy enough to take a beating and of a close weave so tiny arms and legs cannot slip through and get caught. The Bay Hammock Company, www.bayhammocks,com carries a polyester net hammock that is perfect for children.

Secondly, install the hammock close to the ground and cover the ground underneath with grass, wood chips or some other material that will make for a soft landing if someone falls out.

Thirdly, tie the hammock down so it cannot flip over. To do this attach a length of rope to the spreader bars on diagonally opposite corners as shown in the diagram below, Attach these ropes to stakes in the ground directly below where they are attached to the spreader bar. Tighten them to control how much the hammock can rock and tie firmly.

Now establish a couple of rules:

1. No Jumping. A hammock is not a trampoline.
2. Play in the hammock only when there is a responsible adult to supervise.
