Gift Sets

A friend dragged us to a Hollywood makeup artist’s home, to admire his genius decor and the seven (or was it eight?) Emmys. I was made welcome with a small gift that seemed planned; at least, it had a tag with my name. Inexpensive but useful. The host barely knew me, wasn’t expecting me, and I had no clue there is a system for such occasions. I.e., I was impressed and humbled. We have learned the fun of keeping a few assorted (and new, ahem) gift items, with assorted blank cards, gift tags, tape, ribbon and raffia. Whip up a gift. Sometimes a friend needs a just-because treat. (Strangers, too, but don’t go there.)
