"Here is a wonderful little book that will maximize the possibilities that the gift you give will be truly gratefully received. Just reading it will brighten your day." -M.J. Ryan, author of Attitudes of Gratitude and 365 Health and Happiness Boosters
"Now more than ever we need to focus on the human experience, and Mary Beth brings her rich journalistic gifts to provide inspirations we can use in our daily lives." -Peter Duckler, editor, Family Circle "A gift pleases as much for what it is, as for what it represents: you, your time, and your genuine appreciation," writes author Mary Beth Sammons. In Gifts with Heart she presents a wonderful collection of inspirational gift-giving stories as well as concrete ideas, for giving with thought and emotion. There are ideas for parents and grandparents, friends, children, guests, gifts for people who are sick or hurting, and more. Plan a "date" for your parents, write the story of your grandparent's life, create handmade Christmas ornaments depicting times shared with the ones you love, or just simply show up and be there for your family member, friend, or loved one in their time of need. From compiling photo collections to creating "happy" memory boxes to putting together a winter blues "get well kit," there is something here for everyone in your life.
