The Gift of Giving


Are you still thinking of what you could give your love one this Christmas day? There are actually many gifts that we could share this Holiday, but, something unique and extra special would truly appeal to our loved ones. Every year, we would think of something unique to give to these special people in our lives, although they would say that they appreciate whatever we give them, but of course, it would be extra special if a lot of effort has been exerted just to get them their gifts. Sending or giving them a bouquet of flowers, or chocolates, or even stuff toys, will touch their hearts but it won't melt it away.


In the modern world that we are living in, people tend to forget the traditional ways and focus on what is trending today. As for me, I still do believe in the older ways of giving gifts. As we all know, red roses are the traditional symbol for romance and passion. They are ornamental plants grown for their flowers in the garden and sometimes indoors. They have been also used for commercial perfumery and commercial cut flower crops and they have a minor medicinal use. If I were to choose on what gift I would like to receive, it is a mini red rose in festive glitter bow container. I have been eying that plant for quiet a while now, after seeing it online. 


That is one of the plant on my bucket list for this year, and I hope my husband would buy that for me. I have been telling him about it, but if he is not gonna buy it as a gift for me, I would buy it as a gift for myself this Christmas. Pampering ourselves sometimes is not a bad idea at all, everyone deserves to receive something this Christmas. Let us all remember the saying, "It is in Giving that we Receive".

Giving Plants Away This April 22nd of 2013 - Earth Day!

This morning I tried looking on my monthly schedule and  I found out that I have nothing important activities or any engagement to do this month other than working during weekdays :). Looking at the calendar, I saw a big event this 22nd of April 2013. I know most of us will not remember this day, in fact it is a world wide celebration- the Earth Day. Earth Day is an annual celebration on which events are held worldwide by more than 192 countries to show support for environmental protection. It is mainly observed on April 22 each year. They designated it as International Mother Earth Day by a consensus resolution adopted by the United Nations last 2009.


By blogging this event maybe is the least I can do to support and commemorate the said event. We all know that plants can really help us make our place green and lively. It is also good for our health and can comfort us in every way for they carry life and emotion. I bet you agree on what I wrote because we can use plants as gifts and we can give it away to our friends and loved ones. It becomes a special gift that grows through care and love. It can be used as a perfect gift in any occasion, parties and social gatherings. It is also best to use as ornaments in office and inside our homes. I share this beautiful video that you can do, a simple way to start giving live plants away to your friends and office mates.



I find that plants are better gifts than cut flowers. Yes you may use cut flowers but after few days it will wither and die. Unlike live plants you can place them in a beautiful container and you can watch them grow as time goes by. The love and care of the giver thrives in that plants and any moment you will also see how it blooms and flatters you with its beautiful color.


So start giving live plants away to your friends and spread the love and promote Earth Day, where ever you are and what ever you do. Always think that everyone needs good air to breath and LOVE in order to live.
