Simply nice and worthwhile

This is a classy little book and well worth owning and giving as a gift.Especially of you feel frustrated when it comes to giving a small gift of appreciation.Just shy of 70 pages it is full of wonderful ideas. Chapters 1 is about Special Gifts for special occasions and includes classic ideas like a silver frame with the babies birth announcement ' collecting the signature of everyone in the wedding party and having them engraved on a silver frame for the wedding couple. Or for someone who has small children offering to baby-sit so the parents can enjoy an anniversary dinner out, or if the couple has been married many years, simply dropping them a note to say how much you admire their example of commitment.I so loved her suggestion for helping children of single parents, by having the kids over and helping them make dinner for the parent as a surprise. Or for a new neighbor, having some of the women write out a favorite recipe and then arranging it so 4-6 neighbors each make the dish as a house welcoming gift. I would also suggest this for friends who have a friend who is ill and unable to cook.Or how about buying some lovely stationary, and stamps as a gift for someone whom you know loves to write. This is also a nice gift for an elderly relative and you can even pre-address some of the envelopes if you know they like to write to one or two people on a regular basis. Or buy a selection of lovely cards for special occasions along with stamps and give as a gift to someone who has a busy schedule but who would like to remember someone's birthday etc.
