Sandalwood statues are durable and would give a classy look to any place. Sandalwood sculptures are being used since ancient times.

The fragrance of sandalwood tree would remain locked up until the tree is completely uprooted. Therefore, trained elephants are used to uproot a tree in a specific manner. Sandalwood trees are mostly found in different parts of Asia. Such a wood is considered to be the finest as far as workmanship is concerned.

Since these are comparatively expensive statues, they are often placed inside the house and people often use it as a focal point to highlight a place in their homes.

Adult Birthday Party Ideas and Themes

Talking of events on my birthday, what a great theme for an adult birthday party! Have a “Heartbreak Hotel” birthday party for the 10th January and play Elvis music, and then have foods and activities that take you back to the 1950′s or 1960′s.

Otherwise, have a general “events on my birthday” theme where you have pictures and displays of different events that took place on your birthday that people can go and look at while enjoying cheese and wine and listening to classical music.

Get guests to find out what great events took place on their birthdays and discuss this. PLay a “Guess what happened” game and give guests clues to what events happened on your birthday and have them guess what these events were.

You may also want to specialize the “Events on my birthday” theme so that it focusses on sporting events, musical events, theatrical or literature events, etc. Get guests to bring stories related to these particular themes to share.
