Springtime Gifting

1. Fragrances

Choosing little gifts at each place setting for an intimate dinner, favors for each birthday or shower partygoer, or a more significant gift for the honoree or host!

It is personal to select items that will be treasured as keepsakes or totally fun to immediately enjoy, use or devour!! Fragrance? Tea? Coffee or Sweets?

2. Coffee & Sweets

If you are planning for an English or anglophile bride-to-be’s shower or birthday, treats from Charbonnel Et Walker, Jo Malone London or Wedgwood would be especially thoughtful. Maybe the guest of honor is an antique, shoe, chocolate or peony lover too!

Mottahedeh Green Lace Sandwich Tray (Gracious Style) | Mottahedeh Apple Lace Gift Soap Set (Gracious Style) | Mottahedeh Apple Lace Tea For Two (Gracious Style)

For a special Southern Belle’s birthday, shower, or new home, the Mottahedeh porcelain reproductions from Historic Charleston’s Apple, Blue, Green, or Pink Lace in fragrant soap set, Mug, Tea for 2 or Dinnerware Collection would be perfect!

These colors might be favorites used to theme the entire party or the pattern might even be on their shower or housewarming Registry!! Beautiful ideas for Mother or Wedding gifts too!

3. Hostess Gift

If you are the honoree, of course, you will gift the hostess with her “favorite things!!”

Perhaps she is an avid chef, gardener, reader, traveler or is passionate about a particular artist, designer, color, drink or music? What creative fun to think of the perfect gift…and then wrap it accordingly!!
