mum Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I'd love you to check out my Etsy shop with lots of unique gifts. I make them all by hand. The banners I make are so sweet. They are super popular in England, where I grew up, and I give one as a gift whenever I can. Thank you!

Alicia64 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 This is a PHENOMENAL thread -- thank you for starting it Kareni! If a loved one needs/can use a walking cane, this is the most beautiful cane -- that's actually a piece of art -- I've ever come across. And I've looked at zillions. The price is unreal too. A man in Italy hand carves and paints these. Still on walking canes. . . I found a real walking cane that's painted to look like a Christmas candy cane. It's beyond festive and cute. And its the real-deal: it's not a toy, not a decoration. . . it's a real walking cane. Also people love photo mugs -- that you create -- from Costco. People are tickled by these. That's it for now -- I'm hoping to have more to report soon! Thank you again for such a fun thread!! Wendy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
