Thank you Alyson for a post that really has me thinking. Loving some of the ideas others are suggesting. It is funny that some little thing that I may think is trivial – like bubble gum! – may truly delight the recipient.

When I teach a workshop, I often try to have some little supply item that I leave off the list and gift to the participants. It’s often something not expensive, but unexpectedly useful in the class.

Your post delighted ME. Thank you for that.
Each month, I send a “surprise in the mail” to someone I want to thank, someone I’m thinking of, someone who needs a surprise… always someone different. The “surprise in the mail” is a small piece of my work that fits in a padded mailing envelope with a handwritten note to the recipient. Somehow, after reading your post, the Dubble Bubble seems like a more joyful gift to remember, so I’m going to think of how I can “up my game”. Thanks for the inspiration.

Earlier this year I was fortunate to be one of seven artists who participated in a tactile presentation of my wearable art work for visually impaired audience members prior to their attendance at the Wearable Art Mandurah showcase. The showcase had an audio descriptor service. As each small group came to my table, I explained the processes of making the garment whilst they held a sample piece of one of the leftover elements in the work (a wire flower). At the end of my short talk I asked them if they would like to keep the sample. I was delighted at the joy this simple gift gave everyone.

In reply to Carol.

Carol: Because email is push and blog is pull (you wait for people to see it). MANY people (collectors, etc.) won’t take the time to sign up for a blog.
