Gifting

With several weddings, birthdays and anniversaries coming up. I tend to look for unusual gifts. Now that I think about, I wonder how many of them ended up being donated or re-gifted…?

Oh well, I recently found some great gifts ideas. For those of you with recent celebrations, watch out for packages coming your way…

When thrifting I find myself drawn to portraits. I usually think “this must be someone special”. I also wonder “what amazing experiences has this person encountered? If you give a portrait as a gift you must have a “Portrait Story” party.

Party Idea: Invite friends over, to view your new portrait, and where it will reside. Serve food and drinks and together come up with the best tale of the portraits life. For instance; This is a portrait of Mrs. Sugar Sweetwater, she is from Paris, Texas. When she was 19 years old she inherited “The Best Whoa Boa” Feather company . When she was 24, she met and married Mr. Watsom Sweetwater, who was the creator of the “Sugarland” toy game. They had two children, a girl and boy named “Dolly” and “Cowboy”. See, what fun!
