Do you ever give a gift to someone just because? I can’t say that I do this very often, but after the joy, I received when I was given a “Just Because” gift, I am certainly going to be doing more of it!
I came home to a gift bag on my porch last week. That right there is enough to get my heart racing. When I opened it, I was so touched by the thoughtful gesture of a friend. I think that giving someone a gift when it’s not expected is so meaningful because it shows that they were thinking about you and wanting to do something special just for you. They have taken their time out of their busy lives’ and schedules to show you how important you are to them. What could be more precious than that?
I had to show you this because it’s just too special to keep to myself. Included in the package was a mini bottle of champagne, a chocolate bar and a “You Are” jar. Take a look at the jar and see how such a simple idea can be so uplifting!
So simple and yet so meaningful. I love it and encourage you to do a “Just Because” gift of your own for a friend. Who can you send a jar to today?

If you like the sort of recommendation that still holds up six months later, leave your email below and I'll write to you on Sunday.
Most Sundays, once the house has gone quiet and it's edging towards nine, a letter goes out. It's the one I'd write to a friend with good taste and not nearly enough time: one thing worth reading, one thing worth buying, and one thing to skip. No noise, no pressure to spend, just the considered version of what I've actually been using, loving, or quietly sending back.

I really love this idea. I have a friend that would probably appreciate something like this, as she often looks down on herself and she shouldn’t!
