Gifts with Meaning: How to Choose Unique and Thoughtful Presents for Any Occasion

When choosing or making personalized gifts, it is very good if the gifts have good meaning. This book called Gifts with Meaning: How to Choose Unique and Thoughtful Presents for Any Occasion will give you a guide to how to choose your gift so that it has appropriate meaning.

Mindless consumerism leads to mindless gift giving, which in turn leads to compulsive re-gifting. Gifts with Meaning ends this vicious cycle with innovative ideas that focus on the cultural, historical, and symbolic meaning behind the gifts. Shanon Lyon explains why mirrors are given as wedding presents, why honey is a traditional housewarming gift, the meanings of different flowers and gems, and much more. She then offers easy ways to incorporate each symbol into a gift that truly says, “I got it just for you.”
