You are so right in that I like to give things that will not become dust catcher and are useful...mostly because of my practical nature :)...and also because these are the types of gifts I enjoy receiving. For example, I LOVE getting Roses, and always appreciate them when they do find their way to me, however, long ago I asked Mike (my husband) to save the money and buy a little rosebush or a potted herb in lieu of the cut versions and these have given me beauty to last many years (as opposed to a few days or a week). <br />Love,<br />Tracey<br />x0x<br />P.S.
