Choosing a gift

Back to the business of blogging….I have so many things on my mind!
I am unpacking …and amongst the things I have brought back with me is the chocolates I got for Christmas from my niece. Unbelievable that I did not eat them straight away..but the last time I intended to eat them, I took a photo instead and left them untouched again.
A chocolate for Christmas can be a very ordinary gift…or it could be like these…too damn cute to eat !!
Yes, she is just 1 year old, so I know her mom picked it out..but it brings me back to the issue of attention to detail when you pick a gift.
Just looking at this – you know that the decision was to buy a chocolate..but then it could not just be any chocolate..it had to be special, it had to stand out, it had to be something I would remember when I next Christmas try to think what I got from everyone and it had to create special emotion when seeing it, opening it….
And it did all of the above. Mission complete. These chocolates were cute, special, memorable…and I don’t even know what they taste like… but who cares.
My son says that I can’t eat them now, because then I will have to tweet about it…
Let me just correct that. I have not stopped eating. I still intend enjoying all good things in life. It is the overeating that will send me tweeting !!
Just wanted to share the cute-ness and impression of a gift that was carefully selected. Paying attention to detail pays great dividends in the heart and mind of the receiver of such gift !!

Who said the little one year old didn’t choose it herself 😉
mmm – then she deserves some of those chocolates too…and I can’t wait for what she will pick next Christmas because she is just getting smarter !
