A VERY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS // Shopping Ideas

Christmas shopping for a gift for your special one can be a challenge .

There are all those TECHNO gadgets, iPads , smartphones, etc.
and those are nice - but for me its the special keepsakes that mean the most.

Christmas reminds me more of snow falling, warm fires and hot chocolate.
And this brings me to some of my favorites - those SPECIAL keepsakes.

A lovely snow globe with a winter scene. A cherished gift.

A original SnowGlobe is my favorite from the Original Wiener Schneekugels

Handcrafted in Austria.
