Love is in the details. And who doesn’t love a little lovin’ detail now and then?

THIS WEEK: Give a treat to two people. Don’t spend more than $20 bucks, ten would be ideal. Ideally, you’ve been paying attention to what gives them comfort and thrills. Just in case…

10 Easy Gifts To Give This Week

1. A magazine…fashion, trashy, or specialized – all good. (Roll up and tie with a string.)
2. A box of tea or bag of coffee beans (ground if they don’t have a grinder.)
3. Mangoes, strawberries or a chocolate bar.
4. A few flowers wrapped in craft paper.
5. A gratitude rock. Find a pebble, imbue it with love. Tell the recipient to carry it in their pocket or purse to remind them to think of something they’re grateful for when they touch it.
6. A CD – a new release or home-burned.
7. Extra special sparkly water.
8. A mechanical pencil, with some extra leads.
9. Gourmet pretzels.
10. And the can’t-go-wrong treat: bubble bath or shower gel.

Now, here’s the trick – pump up the presentation. Tiny treats accompanied with gushy notes have major impact. Strategically placed surprise treats (on the pillow, inside the desk drawer, in a lunch bag) have extra zing-zing.

A little love, well presented, says a lot.
