Great Gift Idea for Everyone and Every Occasion
Great Gift Idea for Everyone and Every Occasion
Very often when gift giving time comes around; birthday,
anniversary, graduation day, wedding day, Mother's Day, Father's
Day, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Pastor Appreciation Day, etc...
we tend to run to the stores and purchase the typical items. For
her: Jewelry, chocolate, flowers, books, perfume, photo album
books and boxes - which I received for my last birthday - and
even cooking appliances. For him: A tie, a watch, car parts,
absolutely anything sports related, cologne..... am I boring you
yet? The list of typical, expected gift giving goes on and on.
Not that there's anything wrong with any of these gifts. I can
honestly say that when I've been asked what gifts I'd like to
receive I've had all of these gifts listed at one time or
another. But there's one thing I've never asked them for, and
would never think to ask them for, even though I would highly
desire it and prize it above all these other gifts. A slide show
for me. Why would I never ask for it? Because this is a gift of
the heart. And those kind of gifts are not asked for. Men
especially would never think to ask for this. But when I
presented a slideshow for my husband from his children on
Father's Day, the tears fell as he watched his children growing
up before his eyes and the impact that he's had in their lives.
As the saying goes, "A picture's worth a thousand words" and the
slideshow spoke volumes to his heart as saw pictures of him
wrestling with his sons, teaching them to ride their bikes,
doing homework with them, vacations together, reading books
together, building pine-wood derby cars together, and so on. The
music we chose added to the sentimental value and the personal
message from the boys gave the final touch that all worked
together to give him the most cherished gift he's ever received.
He still comes to me and asks to see the video again and again.
Oh, how I wish they'd consider having one made for me!
Slideshows make a great gift giving idea for anyone. Granparents
love to brag to everyone about their grandchildren. Think of how
proud they would feel displaying a video slideshow of their
children and grandchildren at the next get-together with all
their friends!
Mom's and dad's would love a slideshow that shows how much their
children love and appreciate them. Slideshows have a special way
of showing people that all they've done for them has not gone
unnoticed.
Family and friends that live far away would especially love a
Christmas slideshow that displays the year's events in your
lives. They will feel a part of your life even though separated
by distance.
Friendship slideshows are another wonderful idea. Gather up all
the pictures of your memories together and put them with a
special friendship song and you'll have a gift you'll both
cherish forever!
Graduates love slideshows that go from the time they're born
until their graduation day! One young lady told her mother that
she loved her graduation video so much because when she felt
lonely or homesick in college she would just play the video and
seeing all her family and friends on the video would comfort her
and help her feel close to home again.
What about the love of your life? Give him or her a romantic
slideshow that celebrates your life together. Guys especially -
think of how you'd make her feel if you did this without her
knowing or asking! Wow! Start from the moment you both met and
go through the years highlighting all your most memorable
events. Add "your song", have a professional slideshow making
company put it all together for you, then plan a special
candlelight evening and watch it together. What could be more
special?
Whether you're looking for a gift idea for mom, dad, grandmom,
granddad, husband, wife, son, daughter, aunt, uncle, friend,
pastor, whoever... slideshows make the perfect unexpected, and
most cherished gift because they are the sentimental gift that
comes from the heart. They say, "I love you", "You're special to
me", "I appreciate you", "I remember when", "You're presence in
my life is more important to me than anything else".... And so
much more. So everyone, gather up all your old photos from the
shoeboxes, desks drawers, and photo albums and have Sands of
Time Multimedia Creations - a professional slideshow making
company - create a slideshow for your loved ones that they'll
cherish forever! Get started today. They'll be glad you did.
