Items for Gift Basket/Box for Friend
Comments (3)I found this list, I hope you can get some ideas from it. Gifts For Cancer Patients Gift Baskets One of the best gifts for cancer patients comprises of gift baskets. You can make an inspirational gift basket, comprising of cards, soft toys, books on cancer survivors, and so on. Remember that the gift items should offer hope, encouragement and comfort to the patient. Aromatherapy Products Cancer treatment, mainly comprising of chemotherapy, drains out the strength of the patient. Aromatherapy products make the perfect gift in such a case, providing them with the much\-needed rest and comfort. You can go for things like aroma oils, aromatherapy blanket, aromatherapy spa socks, etc. Skin Care Products During chemotherapy, the body is exposed to radiation. This has an adverse effect on the skin, making it parched and dry. Thus, skin-treatment products qualify as one of the best gift items to be presented to cancer patients. You can go for body lotions, lip treatments and hydrating cream. Inspirational Keepsakes Cancer and cancer treatments have maximum effect on the mindset of the patient. Cancer patients usually suffer from low morale and dipping confidence. In such a case, keepsakes engraved with a few words of encouragement can go a long way in making the person feel better. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scarves and Caps Chemotherapy treatment, administered in case of cancer, works to the detriment of the hair. The cancer patients who are undergoing treatment, more often than not, suffer from hair loss, a condition that can prove embarrassing for many. Presenting them with trendy scarves and caps surely makes for a good idea. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jewelry In case you have a female acquaintance suffering from cancer, then jewelry will comprise of one of the best bets, as far as gifts are concerned. Crystal and pearl bracelets, diamond earrings, gold chain and platinum rings are amongst the jewelry items that are sure to bring a smile on her face....See MoreAfrican Violets -New to this, need ideas on plants selections!
Comments (41)Aegis, Leaves vs. plugs. I don't have a strong success rate with leaves that arrive in the mail. I heard Annie say to order leaves, so I did try. Terri, I believe I have a similar crocheted piece. I like your Rex Begonia. Before I got into AVs in a large way, I grew Rex Begonias, or any begonias. Both of your comments and sharing are delightful. And D Barron's. Everything having to to with AVs seems complicated lately. It is complicated to order them across country. The AV mag has been showing various gesneriads. D Barron, if you have not tried to grow AVs for ten years, you might find that at the field had changed a lot. There is a great deal of diversity that many find fascinating. If you have a local garden club in your area, you might stop by for a visit and bring in one or more of your plants to show and talk about. The sharing might interest you and others....See MoreGift basket ideas for surgery recovery
Comments (37)Please excuse the hijack anitamo. Those who have been through this know. You "handle" it until something pushes a button, which anitamo's post evidently did for me, especially Pal's link to the soft caps as I was talking about that with my sister the other day. I so appreciate the support, ladies. I'm super private as I believe it's impolite really to burden others. Everyone has problems, tragedies and crises in the course of a lifetime -- no one needs anyone else's. I believe in sharing the happy stuff -- I put up 2 favorite recipes on a new thread mtn started. Both really delicious. I've always had a very high stress tolerance and have an ability to thread my way through chaos. But losing younger siblings is a killer even when you're not close. My next younger brother passed suddenly 4 years ago. Now my sister is sliding away. It's like standing on a large island that's your life/family history and watch huge chunks fall off. I don't mind it changing me. I always have been lucky and I'm blessed in so many ways in this life. But my sister has had much to overcome and not a great deal of happiness. The idea that she must go so early and with so much pain and disability seems really cruel. Enough. Thank you all for your good thoughts and prayers. Big hugs to you. I so appreciate the empathy and support. It really helps....See MoreA question for basket collectors
Comments (54)RoseAbbey - yes, a good exhaust fan makes a difference I think. We didn't have an exhaust fan over the vintage stove in our previous house, and the pot rack hanging above it stayed nasty pretty much all the time. It feels like an absolute luxury to have one now, and we definitely make good use of it. Patty, I think it's just a matter of how invested one decides to be in decorative items. You hit the nail on the head about certain items bringing joy to the heart of a collector, while other stuff is "merely décor." Re agreeing with my DH about investing in quality baskets instead of going for inexpensive pieces, for us it's a matter of taking our time and spending wisely. No, visitors might not have a clue what's on top of our kitchen cabinets, but we collect and decorate for our own satisfaction and enjoyment. For example, the three large baskets I decorated the niche over the front door with were priced higher than what I could walk into a place like Home Goods and buy. Two are African and one is Pakistani, and every time I see them they bring me delight. They're more special than what I was seeing in the stores, and I'm so glad to have them. Guests would probably just look up there and think, "Oh - big baskets" and not give them another thought, but those big baskets aren't up there for guests. They're to make my heart do that little happy dance whenever my eyes go up to that niche. :-)...See Moresocks
