What’s Your Gift-Giving Style?
August 12th, 2013 by Peg
Having been on vacation for the past two weeks I have had time to reflect about a number of things. Of course one was about gift giving.
The tradition of giving gifts can be traced back as far as the early Romans. The ancient Roman festival Saturnalia, held in honor of the diety Saturn, included gift-giving as a central part of the celebration. For the purposes of this celebration, the gifts were simple tokens rather than expensive, elaborate bestowals, and interestingly, it was common practi [...]Read More Jul

Do you still have graduation pictures lying around?
July 23rd, 2013 by Peg
Are you like me? Do you still have graduation pictures propped up against bookshelves and on your desk? If so it's time to have them framed before they gather any more dust or get damaged. I have a suggestion why not choose one of our picture frames and add a personalized text next to frame? This would make a great gift item for parents, grand-parents, or friends of the graduate.
In my case since it's my daughter I am simply going to engrave her name, school and year of graduation. [...]Read More Jul

Gift Giving From the Heart

Gift Giving From the Heart
Confession: I used to be a terrible gift giver. My most heinous gift-giving crime was giving gifts I would like. I never considered the receiver of the seven-hundred-plus-page Volume 1 of Mark Twain's Autobiography. And forget about shopping for my dad, or any man for that matter—unless that man happened to be George Michael and could appreciate a nice pair of diamond studs.
After one particularly ill-received gift to my mother who has a taste for bling and wou [...]Read More Jul

Coffee Mugs, Cutting Boards, and Plaques. Oh My!
July 1st, 2013 by Peg
So, this month, I have to buy a birthday gift for my nephew, a birthday gift for my brother-in-law, and gift for my sister who just landed a great job after months of looking. That's enough gift-giving to make a person dizzy! Sometimes it's tempting to give in to the gift-card craze sweeping the nation, but I just can't in good conscience give a gift that shows so little originality.
All of the people I mentioned above are important enough for me to devote a whole weekend to choosing thei [...]Read More Jun
