Spring Celebrations Require Gifts
Resa Heart
Every February I look for the first robin. It's a spring ritual of mine. And with the return of the robins, I know that spring flowers and green lushness of trees leafed out cannot be far behind. I love spring - I think most people do. And maybe it's the happiness of making it through another harsh winter as our ancestors did that causes us to look for any reason for a celebration of life. We plan weddings and we see young adults graduate and many many more events.
Will all these different occasions there is one downside. Most of them seem to require us to give a gift. An interesting gift that we can be proud of.
It may seem like a drag to have to bring a gift to every occasion but if you are thoughtful you can think of gifts that won't break the bank. And often times I just look out my window for a little inspiration.
If you are looking for a gift for a spring wedding, and the new couple is starting a new home together, they could probably use some items to make the outside of their home colorful. Some hand held garden tools such as a trowel and gardening gloves would make a unique gift. Maybe the couple isn't the gardening type, but all couples will likely find themselves entertaining guests. Colorful, inexpensive picnic-ware, such as plates, tumblers, pitchers, and serving dishes can be added to a picnic basket or table cloth to inspire that outdoor barbecue.
My niece is getting married this spring. She is so very excited and just beams every time I see her. She is having her reception outside so for wedding gifts anything that has a natural or 'outdoorsy' feel to it would totally rock. Of course she needs everything from stemware to placesettings. She and her soon to be husband have purchased their first house and are working hard to make it a home. So a nice park bench or hammock would be awesome gifts.
Kids love spring more than anyone. After spending hours indoors at school and then hours indoors after school as well, they can't wait to break out and play outside for a while. My daughter's birthday falls in spring, and she has received beach towels, sand toys, and pool toys for gifts. Other gift ideas would be anything to get kids outside playing, such as hula hoops, jump ropes, bicycle bells, sidewalk chalk, and flower seeds. We all know spring can also bring rainy weather. To brighten up those stormy days, consider giving a new, brightly colored umbrella or rain coat.
As I've gotten older I find I love spring more and more each year. The newness of the flowers and the freshness of the pale greens is such a joy after the cold and brown tones of winter. Enjoy your spring this year - it will be the best gift of all.
