Welcome
Hi!
You’ve found a brand new blog. I’ve decided to use this space for articles related to gifts; those that we give, those we receive, and (sometimes) even those we were born with.
I have a business website devoted to the sale of unique handcrafted gifts which may or may not be of interest to you. In this space I intend to give you some information, tips, and even recipes — all for free.
When it comes to giving gifts, everyone is familiar with the usual holidays and special days (birthdays, wedding days, anniversaries, etc.) when our culture makes a gift nearly mandatory. I’d like to mention another type of gift though — the “just because” gift. This is my absolute favorite because it is totally unexpected and therefore often more appreciated and remembered. My husband once presented me with one of these “just because” gifts when he returned from a trip to the supermarket. It was a little ceramic planter full of purple crocus and I have fonder memories of that than of many much more expensive gifts he’s given me over the years. It could be a wildflower bouquet, a pack of licorice, just about any little thing, but what it says is “I was thinking of you.” and many other messages besides.
I guess that’s it for the moment as I’m feeling something like stage-fright right now. I’ll be back!
