No Worries
Giving the appropriate gift is one of those talents for which some folks just seem to have a knack. And others, well, not so much. If you have a "deer-in-the-headlights" reaction when it comes to gift giving, take heart. Here are some thoughts to calm your nerves and get you safely off the roadway.
If your palms get sweaty and your vision blurs when it comes time to look for that perfect wedding present , house warming gift, Mothers' Day gift or "sorry I forgot our silver anniversary" gift---relax. The good news is that wind chimes are one of those gifts that most everyone enjoys receiving.
Wind chimes will typically bring a smile of curiosity to the face of the uninitiated who've never experienced the sight and sound of a wind chime. They're a unique and unexpected gift, which many people wouldn't imagine receiving, or giving. They're not your typical generic gift. Be bold. No worries.
Engraving
Your wind chime can be made even more unique by personalizing your gift with custom engraving. For an additional charge, Grace Note Chimes will engrave a standard or custom sentiment on the wind catcher (the bottom most part of the chime that activates the chime). Due to the large area of the Grace Note Chimes wind catcher, your sentiment will be easily read, and a constant reminder of your thoughtfulness.
Remembering Loved Ones
Also available from Grace Note Chimes is the wind chime urn kit. Along with a selection of pre-designed engravings (angel wings; cross or dove) you'll also have the additional option of engraving the loved ones' name and dates or, if preferred, just personal text. This is truly a unique way to remember loved ones with each gentle breeze.
Gift Wrapping
Here's an inexpensive way to dress-up your gift before it arrives at your drop-ship destination. Grace Note Chimes and North Country Wind Bells both offer gift-wrapping on their drop-ship orders. all four of our chime makers will also include a personal note if desired. This is just another way, often overlooked, to add additional delight to your gift.
Fine Tuning
Finally, while any wind chime is bound to please the recipient, knowing someone's particular experiences in life will help further refine your selection:
Anyone with fond memories of the salty coastline air, the seagulls' cry, or the eerie stillness of early morning fog on the lake would most likely enjoy one of the rugged bouy or lighthouse bells from North Country Wind Bells.
If the sun's brilliant light shining through stained glass is what dazzles ones' senses then one of the many color-rich glass chimes from Goose Rocks Designs will provide a daily visual-treat as an affordable piece of glass art.
The romance and intrigue of other cultures is the inspiration for many of the designs from Woodstock Chimes. Feng Shui, bamboo, and other chimes are your sensory links to the sound and adventure of other places. If your gift recipient is a traveler at heart, this is your passport to a perfect gift.
It's Sunday morning and the distant music of church bells fade in and out with the changing direction of the crisp morning air. The Steeple Chime collection, by Grace Note Chimes, sounds remarkably similar to the church bell's announcement of morning worship or nuptial ties just confirmed. All the wind chimes in the Grace Note Chimes collection are easily recognized by their purity of tone and sustained resonance via their unique tube suspension design.
That perfect gift is nearby and not as hard as you may think to find.
As with any gift that comes from the heart, the music is just as sweet
to the giver as to the receiver.
Savor the music.
