Springtime Is For Flowers, Birds And Gift Giving

by Resa Heart

After the drudgery of winter it’s so nice to feel the warmth of spring. I love seeing the flowers start to grow and the birds return to my northern climate. And spring also brings the return of many different celebrations. From valentine’s day to graduations, Mother’s Day and Father’s day. So many different occasions some formal and some quite informal.

Regardless of the celebration, we often feel compelled to bring a gift to these spring gatherings.

Because it’s Spring I love to focus on bright and uplifting gifts. Something that speaks to my love of nature, my zest for life.

If you are looking for a gift for a spring wedding, and the new couple is starting a new home together, they could probably use some items to make the outside of their home colorful. Some hand held garden tools such as a trowel and gardening gloves would make a unique gift. Maybe the couple isn’t the gardening type, but all couples will likely find themselves entertaining guests. Colorful, inexpensive picnic-ware, such as plates, tumblers, pitchers, and serving dishes can be added to a picnic basket or table cloth to inspire that outdoor barbecue.

My niece is getting married this spring. She is so very excited and just beams every time I see her. She is having her reception outside so for wedding gifts anything that has a natural or ‘outdoorsy’ feel to it would totally rock. Of course she needs everything from stemware to placesettings. She and her soon to be husband have purchased their first house and are working hard to make it a home. So a nice park bench or hammock would be awesome gifts.

I have a young son who can’t wait for school to get out each spring. Then he spends many days idling by the pool. During the late spring and early summer we seem to have endless birthday parties to go to and finding a great gift can be a challenge. But some of the old standbys still work like a real leather basketball or football. Of course there are the video games and I admit I break down sometimes even if that has no outdoor use.

No matter the event or who you are buying for, Spring is my favorite time of year. Such a celebration of Winter’s end and the renewal of life and love. This Spring gift yourself while you gift others even if that gift is just the smile of delight when you wow one of your loved ones.
