Oh Lady!


Client: She needs one more treat for her retired mom for Mother's Day. "You see", she tells me, "a theme has already begun." A theme of ladybugs, that happen to be her mom's favorite. Could I find something to go along with?

Gen: Hmmm...ladybugs. One of the other gifts is a ladybug wine topper; which gets me thinking and searching. Turns out there is a little Ladybug Vineyard in California who use the polka dotted ladies instead of pesticides while making their wine. So a bottle of red and one of white it is! Also nice,  they are both 90 pointers and award winning. Cheers!

Something Simple


Client: Her mom is recently widowed and wheelchair bound. They are redoing her bedroom; and she wants it to be a peaceful place as she spends most of her time there. She needs something that is pretty but practical. 

Gen: I am off on my search for pretty, practical & including the requested color blue. Found  are three nesting boxes that are earth friendly; and lined in navy ribbon. In each box will have a surprise treat: a letter from daughter, book from favorite author and puzzles of her favorite sort.

Twitter Treats!!


Gen: I came up with a fabulous new idea! Every now and then, I am going to send surprise treats to my Twitter followers. How great for an unexpected something to arrive at your doorstep? The first one arrived today; and it left me feeling fantastic (her too). Follow on Twitter and maybe you will be the next!
