The gift that keeps giving

I got the perfect gift this Christmas, not normally something I think about in March, and probably not something I appreciated at the time. But it was so personal and thoughtful, I wanted to share. A brown paper shopping bag revealed four jars, one for each quarter of the year.

Inside each jar was a massage certificate, a drink "ticket" from a favorite watering hole, a chocolate bar (can't wait for the Q3 sea salt), a packet of flowers seeds, and a dinner, home cooked or out.

And when I taste that chocolate or watch a poppy unfurl, I will think of the giver. I am a lucky givee.
