5.0 out of 5 stars Made Me Look Cool & Thouthtful, May 12, 2008
This book saved my life. Our 5th anniversary was last week and I didn't have a clue about what to give my wife. We said small, thoughtful gifts. Nothing extravagent. That's harder than buying expensive jewlery! Talk about pressure. A friend recommended the ideas in Giving with Meaning and I can't tell you how it saved my anniversary. I used the lettuce idea (you've got to read the book -- it's an idea for lovers). I bought a great salad bowl and then made a salad and served it to her with her favorite wine. I even went the extra mile and wrote a note using the ideas in the book. I also gave her a scarf with fringe -- the fringe is a symbol of good luck and she's going for a new job. This book gives the folklore behind all kinds of ordinary items, like a cat or an evergreen tree, or a pineapple and then tells you how to use the ideas for cool, interesting gifts. Absolutely great book. I showed it to my wife afterward and she's going to buy several for gifts. It's beautifully designed and in color. We both recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Acorns and Rosemary celebrate the occasions., September 28, 2009
By Judy Robbins (Glastonbury, CT) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I keep this book handy! A client was moving into a new home and I wanted something "more than a card" but less than a formal gift. I turned to Giving With Meaning and found that the Norse believed that the acorn would protect homes from Thor's thunder and lightning. I enclosed a tiny silver acorn in my card along with the legend and Sheehy's suggested greeting: "to safeguard you and your home against all kinds of thunder and lightning."
Another time, I used rosemary and roses in a bridal headpiece I made - the rosemary tied with silk ribbons for loyalty and love and the roses for love and beauty. Everyone was impressed that the headpiece had significance and I felt especially good making it. The book even has stuff like the anniversary elements (paper, wood, pottery etc.) and the meanings of colors, spices, plants and flowers. Also handy to have the birthstones listed. Highly recommended!

2.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointing
A compilation of ideas for simple gift giving. The format isn't easy to follow and there aren't many ideas in the book (seemed like one per page) - large font to fill the pages.
