Opinions about a gift idea

**geckoace** · 10-11-2007, 03:51 PM

I was going to give my aunts fabric shopping bags that i would make out of remnants but i was thinking

about a few mini loaves of bread ( i make pumpkin ginger, choco chip banana and some others) and an angel ornament cause my grandmother (thier mother) died this summer. Is that a good gift ?or would you go with the shopping bags? money is def an issue this year but both of these would be almost free

One vote for the bread and Angel idea.
That is what I would prefer and it's so thoughtful.

Anyone out there with a poem to go with the Angel ornament?

Yummy home made goodies gets my vote......and the angel would be great too! Both are nice and thoughtful gifts.

Unless time is an issue, since they both cost next to nothing, why not do both? Just pack the bread and ornament inside the homemade bag.

That is what I was thinking.

~ Angel Pin ~

This is a very special Angel
As you can plainly see.
The reason it's so special is
It's just for you, from me.

Whenever you are lonely,
Or even feeling blue,
You only have to hold this Angel
To know I think of you.

So, keep this Angel with you
As a reminder of the joys we've shared,
And, remember it's a symbol
Of a loving heart that cares.

May God grant you always ...
A sunbeam to warm you,
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering angel
So nothing can harm you,
Laughter to cheer you,
Faithful friends near you,
And whenever you pray,
Heaven to hear you.

sunshine, thank you for the angel poems. a friend of the family passed away on wednesday. she was the best friend of dh's grandmother and i wanted to send something to her. the first poem is perfect to go along with an angel ornament i made earlier this week.

as for teh OT, if you have the time, do both. if not, i'd do the bread.
