Picking out a gift is a very intentional process for us. My sisters and I spend time thinking about who the gift is going to and what the occasion is. There are a myriad of reasons for why we might be giving a gift to someone which is the beauty of gift giving. We want to celebrate and honor all seasons of life - the joy, the grief and everything in between.
We want our recipient to feel important and loved. To know that we are thinking of them. Choosing a gift for someone is a time for us to ask questions like, "What are their interests, hobbies, and style?" Even if it's for our best friend or family member whom we may already know pretty well - we still think of these things! It's more fun that way because people are always evolving!
Just last week, I celebrated one of my dear college best friend's birthday. We have known each other for over 15 years and have gotten each other many different gifts. Every year I want to make sure my gift isn't redundant. I also want to choose gifts that scream "insert friends name here." Being that I recently launched a small business selling gift sets, I thought it was fitting to make a gift set specifically for her. I thought about the last time I had seen her and remembered her outfit and the style she was into as of late. I then picked out an outfit, accessorized it with some earrings (because details matter to her) and added a neutral colored lip balm. To me- this was my friend in a package and I was so excited to give it to her.
It's true when they say that doing something nice for others makes you feel good too. We love the idea of brightening up someone's day with a gift or seeing the joy on our loved ones when they open a gift. Gift giving is more than just going to the store and picking something out. It is so much more than that and we would be happy and honored to help you!
