Personal Gift Idea, for Creatives

[Ulysses]

For all the creative people (assumingly, anyone that reads this read), that wish to give someone a special gift.

For the record, this gift idea was apparently the genius of a clever young lady, but I don't think there is any harm in borrowing the concept, to make your own special and personal gifts for close friends and loved ones (stone me to death, if you think this to be blasphemous).

Anyways, I digress ... this is the gift which caught my attention: www.redenvelope.com/re/gifts/product_display/product_information.jsp?nc=1&oid=11735019&mptc=BSDX (http://www.redenvelope.com/re/gifts/product_display/product_information.jsp?nc=1&oid=11735019&mptc=BSDX)

Now my idea ... purchase (with money or pick up from a beach) some reasonably sized stones or pebbles, clean them up, write your own messages on them in Indian Ink (perhaps using a calligraphy pen), and place them in an appropriate pouch.

Alakazam ... you've got yourself a personal, hand made, gift, suitable for anyone that appreciates such a thoughtful gesture.

Humh...this seems vaguely familiar somhow. **runs off to find pet rock he hasn't seen since the 70's**

I made my honey a 'message in a bottle' for our anniversary... wrote a poem, stained the paper with tea leaves, rolled it up into a glass bottle with some artificial flowers and stuff and corked it. Tied some ribbons around the neck and glued some red metallic hearts around the base.

He really liked it. /emoticons/biggrin.gif

Power to the Old Schoolers! and btw, if you can't say something nice, shut the hell up.

[Ulysses]

Sure he did. Guys are very sentimetal at heart. We're just big cuddly teddy bears really ... just with sexual desires, and stubble ocassionally. Nice idea though Morea.

[morea]

me too! well, everything except the stubble... /emoticons/dry.gif

Power to the Old Schoolers! and btw, if you can't say something nice, shut the hell up.

stubble is kinda hot..

[Ulysses]

Yeah Debz? I have stubble right now (gotta shave it off for tomorrow though ... let it grow just too long, and it can become itchy, which I don't like).
Glad to hear you don't have stubble, morea. I like my women to be smooth to the touch.

[1984]

if you can't say something nice, shut the hell up.

I think 1984 was meaning 'Peduculosis Pubis', morea.
