Made Me Look Cool & Thouthtful

Customer Rating:

This book saved my life. Our 5th anniversary was last week and I didn't have a clue about what to give my wife. We said small, thoughtful gifts. Nothing extravagent. That's harder than buying expensive jewlery! Talk about pressure. A friend recommended the ideas in Giving with Meaning and I can't tell you how it saved my anniversary. I used the lettuce idea (you've got to read the book -- it's an idea for lovers). I bought a great salad bowl and then made a salad and served it to her with her favorite wine. I even went the extra mile and wrote a note using the ideas in the book. I also gave her a scarf with fringe -- the fringe is a symbol of good luck and she's going for a new job. This book gives the folklore behind all kinds of ordinary items, like a cat or an evergreen tree, or a pineapple and then tells you how to use the ideas for cool, interesting gifts. Absolutely great book. I showed it to my wife afterward and she's going to buy several for gifts. It's beautifully designed and in color. We both recommend it.

A Meaningful Gift	Customer Rating:
I love this book. Not only is it chock full of lovely and practical ideas to use throughout the year, it is a joy to simply open up and be dazzled by the colorful graphics and illustrations. A great book to keep on the coffee table to share with visitors, or present them with their own copy! Jan Mann, Author
