Gift It Friday: Welcome a Neighbour
Getting to know new neighbours has many benefits. Social connection with the people who live nearby creates a sense of shared identity, promotes trust and, generally, makes a neighbourhood happier and healthier for everyone. Of course, introducing yourself to someone you don’t know isn’t always easy, but what better way of “breaking the ice” than offering them a carefully chosen housewarming gift to make them feel welcome.

The Gift of Precious Time
What would you do if you had just a little more time?
Life isn’t always a walk in the park. Often, we struggle to keep up with the daily grind, particularly at this time of year as demands on our time tend to skyrocket. Not only are the days getting shorter, colder and darker (hot choccie anyone?) but we have so much more to fit in! It can seem quite frustrating when we just aren’t able to keep on top of those to do lists and schedules. Everything from family, social and work commitments go into overdrive as we count down towards the festive season. So how do we keep a happy balance and keep connected with our loved ones and ourselves?

The Greatest Gift of ALL: New Life
We love to celebrate the true gift of new life at Smart Gifts... the birth of a beautiful new baby ♥
Isn’t it funny how easily we are mesmerised by the presence of a Baby. You know the feeling – you’re shopping and getting a bit antsy in the queue that just isn’t moving and your parking is running out grhh! But then that gorgeous little cutesy catches your eye as the proud glowing new mum joins the line. Suddenly you’re transported off somewhere pink or blue and fluffy, you can’t help but smile and your heart melts away all your worries. And then the little angel (devil) starts crying bringing you back to reality with a thump Ha! Seriously though, Babies bring so much joy to this world and truly enrich our lives in every possible way. Could you imagine the world without them, rather impossible really as there wouldn’t be one!
Sympathy Card Messages
In today’s technological World it is so quick and easy sending a kind message to a friend or loved one with a few words of comfort. With so many channels of communication; Facebook, WhatsApp, Email etc, is there any excuse not to? Communication is the essence of human experience, but despite the ease with which we can send a message, it’s more meaningful to send a handwritten note or card.
