It's The Thought That Counts

 

Gifts are considered to be a blessing. Each time we receive gifts from someone we love or from a dear friend we feel thankful towards that person. The reason why gifts are considered to also be a blessing, it's because they are given without expecting something in return. It is given wholeheartedly not only during special occasions but it can be given even in normal days for no special reason. All gifts are meaningful and they are being kept and treasured as a remembrance from that special person. Most popular gifts are stuffed toys, flowers, chocolates and cute little figurines. But, how about giving something that grows with that special person. Nowadays, gifts that grow are becoming popular and is considered to have deep meaning to those who receives it.


Plants have many benefit to our health and environment. These plants are making it's way into special occasions nowadays. It has become popular and a more practical gift compared to cut flowers that will only last for 2 or 3 days. My husband's co-worker and a good friend of his as well, will be tying the knot next week. So as a congratulatory gift, we are thinking of giving them a double tier lucky bamboo tower.  The lucky bamboo is used to attract health, happiness, love and abundance. There are varieties of lucky bamboo arrangements, but the one that we choose has ten stalks which represents perfection in Feng shui. Even though they are easy to care for and a very tolerant plant, these lucky bamboo plants still needs your love and attention, as it likes to look good, just like we all do.


Gifts even big or small are considered to be equal in the eyes of the receiver. And they are not measured by how expensive the content or how glamorous the wrapper is, it's always the thought that counts.
