Customer Reviews

True gifts

Finally, someone who understands that gifts are not about how much you spend or how much you can impress your friends. I love the way the book emphasizes simpler, but more loving offerings: homebaked goodies, fresh flowers, gifts of experiences rather than things (a round of golf, tickets to a play or movie, etc.). The book even shows inventive and personal ways that money can be given. Most of all, though, the beautiful photography and the passages about the philosophy of giving make this book a great resource for someone who wants to give meaningful and personal presents.

Excellent!

This book is a treasure. The ideas enable you to deliver the messages to the recipients that they are special for you. The memory of the gift giving stays with them for a long time. Try it. I have, and it works.

A True Gift!

I love this book and have used many of the ideas to the delight of friends and family. I also own a gift business for professionals with personal clients and I use it for them too! I have given this book as a gift and can't tell you the thank you's I have received! If you buy this book you will never be at a loss for a thoughtful gift again!!!!

The best gift of all -- this book !

Beautiful photographs. Wonderful ideas. I have read and reread this book dozens of times. Especially love the gift of "greens." Buy this book. Definitely.

A Wonderful Gift - As A Gift For Giving

Although I purchased the book for myself, and it was on my coffee table, a friend visiting picked it up and pleaded with me to let her have it. So that was my gift to her.It's an imaginative book, and a wonderful reference to make any gift stand out from the rest.I highly recommend it -- it gets your creative juices flowing.
