Holiday Gifts

We missed it this year, but Thanksgiving gifts are a good idea if you want to stand out.

Consider sending your card or gift during Thanksgiving. With less competition of other gifts and more time for the recipient to appreciate your thoughtfulness, you may want to shift your gift giving timing.

A funny story about Thanksgiving gifts.

My mom bought me a Thanksgiving gift. She didn’t bother to look at the packages before she got here. The adult Publix Pilgrim salt and pepper shakers were two guys instead of a guy and a girl.

When true simplicity is gain'd To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd, To turn, turn will be out delight 'Till by turning, turning we come round right."
