Gift Suggestions
It is always much easier if we do a little planning ahead for those special occasions. Especially those where we will be sending or bringing a gift. Now it might seem that since all occasions are different, that it would be best to find different gifts for each event. That's hard! Very hard! Which is why most of us either break into panic mode at the last minute trying to think of a 'suitable' gift, or we fall back on the traditional chocolates, flowers, wine, or the like. Duh! Boring!
But there is a solution to finding the perfect gift! Let me explain.
But first, let me check with you on a few things:
Do you follow Life's well-worn path - or do you dare to be DIFFERENT?
Are you highly conservative - or have you a flair for CREATIVITY?
Are you entirely predictable - or are you full of SURPRISES?
Are you a shrinking violet - or are you a barrel of FUN?
Do you just blend into a crowd - or are you REMEMBERED? I THOUGHT SO!
So what you need is a gift that is DIFFERENT, CREATIVE, SURPRISING, FUN and will be REMEMBERED! And one that is just perfect for all occasions!
Drum roll please.......!
This is where our Irish Cottage Package comes in! Now you can always have the perfect gift on hand! Indeed, if you would really like to get yourself organized and have a private stock of 6 or more Irish Cottage Packages on hand, contact us so we can explain our version of "Planned Giving Program". And is this ever proving popular or what! In a few days you could have your gifts delivered to your door! And think of the time saved! Since all are individually packaged in a sturdy cardboard box, if you want to send some to distant friends, the packing is already done. By the way, don't worry about someone else turning up at the event with one of our cottages. This is highly unlikely but if it did happen remember that helping create a little village is even more fun than just a single cottage. Besides, as they are all hand painted they all look slightly different anyway. Just as full size cottages all look slightly different, the "wee folk" like to make each of their homes look a little different too! And because they are all hand made, the quantity available is very limited. So much so, they are fast becoming collector items.
