A tradition I have carried forth through the years… is the gracious thank you with a hostess gift. I think it is really special when someone opens their home to you as a guest, to share their personal side of themselves with you.

| I have noticed throughout the years, with the increase of technology occupying every aspect of our lives with promises of "instant" connections and interactions ... I find that less and less do I hear the simple words of " thank you". The words "thank you" are two of the easiest words to say, which are… I know, so uplifting to one's soul when one hears these words. As many of us are moving quickly through the day we may forget to slow down and to remember… to express a little “thank you” to a family member, friend or colleague.... |
| A "Hostess Gift " represents a simple gesture of thanks. It does not have to be costly or elaborate… it is a genuine gesture from the heart.Such as a handwritten note accompanied with a keepsake gift, like a candle, flowers/plant, handmade craft or a delicate food treat. A gift of “kindness and thanks” –an appreciation for sharing the special time together in one’s treasured home or for a special gathering. To say "thank you" for sharing a personal time and space...for a gifted moment.... |
