The excellence of a gift
lies in its appropriateness
rather than its value.
-Charles Dudley Warner
I’m not blowing smoke when I tell you that I personally LOVE giving gifts – it is truly one of my greatest thrills. What I like most about it is the feeling that you are helping someone feel seen, known, and valued, which is more important than ever during this time when we are disconnected from one another, stressed out, isolated, and downright tired of that thing that rhymes with schmovid.
Everyone deserves a little extra joy, some simple beauty, and a lot of kindness right now.
Can I get an amen?!
Thank you for supporting small businesses – especially this season. And thank you for living your life today (or maybe just this single minute!) as the best version of yourself. Sometimes that’s not an easy task, but I appreciate you and the gift you are in this world.
