A friend and her husband gave a thoughtful wedding present for my second wedding.  The gift was a beautiful basket holding 2 wine glasses, a bottle of wine, and a gift certificate to be used at any Marriott Hotel.  The attached note said it was to be used for "Our First Anniversary".  What a perfect gift for a couple who did not need any of the typical "just starting out" gifts.  What a wonderful gift to look forward to and enjoy it we did!

....brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things.... Anticipating what is inside a beautifully wrapped gift is part of the receiving process. I loved Christmas morning when finally allowed out of my room to see what Santa had left. So many pretty packages under the tree greeted me! I loved to look and shake and guess what surprise each pretty parcel may hold. I love receiving packages with lovely bows to untie. A dear friend of mine gives such creative baskets of gifts. My daughter and I look forward to our birthday baskets each year from Nancy. So next time you gift a gift put some thought into how you want to present it. That extra special touch will make the experience extra special.

Hi! I am Linda of "Lindy's Cove" (www.lindyscove.com). I started this company in April after being downsized in the Corporate World. So..... since I love people and I love giving gifts, why not try an online gift store? I truly believe gift giving is an art. People have always loved the gifts I have given them. I love the search for the "special" gift for that "special" person. One way to be a successful gift giver is to listen. For example, one friend of mine said how she loved alpacas and was looking for a necklace of one but could not find it anywhere. I squirreled that info away and a few months later I came across a silver alpaca necklace on Ebay. Karen was especially happy with her Christmas present that year!

I have used Ebay on many an occasion to find that rare gift. My husband has a love of Lithuanian books. I was able to get a whole set of Lithuanian Encyclopedias. He was thrilled!

In this blog, I hope to share some gift giving ideas and ways to become the perfect gift giver. I hope it helps with all your gift giving!
