gifting. . . .

bucktown, canon 20 d

i was raised by two very generous parents.
in addition to having incredible examples of kindness,
my parents also taught us how important an attitude
of gratefulness is. thank god for that.

perhaps what i love best, is the
thoughtfulness behind a gift, taking the time
to know a person's heart and trying to find a
piece that matches it.

i wanted to share with you a few of my favorite things i have
received over the years in case you need a few more ideas.

* a love letter written on a piece of driftwood
* my favorite childhood toy tracked down on ebay
* one winter when i was sick, my mom had a cleaning service
come and help me clean. wow!
* a book of beautiful quotes and lyrics written in a hand bound book.
* an ink pen, yummy paper, and stamps.
* a cd made for me with the theme songs of my favorite movies.
* my favorite childhood book found in a used bookstore
* my own fishing pole and tackle box.
* a hand written letter inside a vintage christmas card.
* a snowman made for me in my front yard with the perfect cozy scarf and hat
for me to keep.


I would love to hear some of your favorite things as well., Please note that my comments section isnt working but you can always e-mail me at Jen@jengray.com.
