The Peacock Feather Pen

A Very 'Close To Heart' Creation


I do a lot of craft but I never gifted anybody any of them. Well, this excludes the personalized cards and the gift wrappings. Those are not exactly creations, if I may say so. I prefer keeping my craft things to myself mostly because I never thought anyone would like them. Also, I never found a proper occasion or an apt thing to give. This, however, seemed the most apt for my friend (and I knew she would really like to get this as a gift). So, its a first of its kind and hence will always be special for me. The actual gift had my friend's name written on it to make it more personalized. In addition, I made the packing box all by myself from the scratch. I got cardboard, prepared a box out of it, wrapped it up with an old Bistro style paper (which looked really elegant), added ribbons as placeholders, and wrote a message to finish it up. 

Personally, I prefer a personalized gift to a non-personalized one. I like to personalize it myself rather than buying personalized products. This way, you invest your own effort and time for the gift. Rather than making it just a formal thing, I prefer the process of gifting to be an emotional and loving thing. That is what makes the difference and we should try more of this. 
After all, its One Life To Live.
