Give the Gift of Memories Bring a photo album of your special times together. On the last page leave a space for a photo of their new home and write: "To be continued..." This can be an inexpensive gift that will be treasured now and in the future. Transform the Ordinary Flowering plants, green plants, plant baskets, or fresh flower arrangements can be a pretty ordinary gift -- or they can be spectacular . Choose, make, or order something really lush and gorgeous, decorated with bows, balloons, or ornaments, and placed in a beautiful container. One Big Beautiful ... take your pick: vase, bowl, basket, cache pot, coffee table book, pitcher, or tray . Most people can use another one of these. Choose simple classic shapes and colors, or make it something special for a current holiday such as a blue bowl decorated with white stars for July 4th or a vase etched with little hearts for a housewarming close to Valentine's Day. The Bad Scraggly plants Never give a plant or floral arrangement that looks like it has seen better days. This can be an additional problem in very hot or very cold weather too, since fresh greens can wilt quickly in temperature extremes. And never give a plant to someone who will have no interest in looking after it. Pets Never give something so personal as a pet, unless you know for a fact that this would be a welcome gift. Pets will demand a time and care commitment that many people are too busy to give. Food Be careful with food gifts. Candy will be all wrong for someone watching calories, while fresh fruit will be wasted if the recipients have an out of town trip coming up. Only when you know the person well can appropriate food items be chosen that will be welcomed. Don't Ignore Their Taste Perhaps you love antiques but your friends love contemporary. Don't force your preferences on them with an unwelcome gift of something only you think they "should" like. Chances are the gift will be a dud. Better to go with something "ordinary" than to strike out completely. Recycled Gifts Don't ever (repeat after me) -- don't ever give a gift that you've already received yourself, then rewrapped for someone else. It's tacky, and eventually someone will probably figure out what happened, then everyone will be embarassed.

Great book to snuggle up with at Christmas , December 21, 2002 Reviewer: "amykaren" (Michigan) - See all my reviews I really enjoyed this book. The first story was not as good as the second, thus the 4 stars instead of 5. In The Heart of Christmas, we meet Abby who has gone through some trauma the last couple years and feels anyone she loves she will destroy. Dr. Nick gives everything but his heart. The story brings the two together, with a little mystery as a subplot. Great secondary charachters that fill out the story line. A few things are unrealistic, I'd tell you but I don't want to give away the storyline. All in all, a B+. The second story, Her Secret Santa-I just loved this story. Ms. Declaire writes so well I feel as if Jacq actually exisits-I can see her in my mind. Mathias falls for Jacq but he's hiding a secret-he knows she is a renowed children's author-a fact she is trying to hid. Will she forgive him when she finds out he knows? At first, I thought how can anyone fall in love in a week but keep reading the story, the plot thickens and fills out and you see the big picture-I want to tell you but I'll let you find out for yourself! An A+ effort, I will be buying more of her books. Was this review helpful to you?
