One more “outside the Gift Box” idea

When my grandmother was alive, she was my most challenging of all to buy for for Christmas and birthdays.  One year I went to the hair salon where she got her hair permed and bought a gift certificate.  And as I mentioned in a previous post, rarely can I just give a gift card without something to “dress it up”.grammaperm.jpg

In this case, I took a snapshot I had of my Gram and pasted curling ribbon on to her head…I don’t think I’ve ever seen her laugh so hard.  This is packed in with my Christmas stuff and every year when I find it, it gives me a smile.

    I can’t stop giggling at this and it touched my heart. It’s so perfect…I can’t tell which is cuter, the idea and the hilarious ribbon-hair, or your Gram’s adorable smile! What an awesome thing to find again every year…
