GIFT EMPORIUMS
GIFT MENAGERIE: The Gift Menagerie is a one stop shopping site that features gifts for everyone on your shopping list. Of course there are the standard categories like gifts for him or gifts for her, but the Gift Menagerie contributors seek to dig a little deeper to find gifts for specific interests like gifts for the cook, gifts for collectors, or gifts for the motorcyclists. There is even a section on gifts for pets. Perhaps, you wish to send a single gift the entire family will enjoy. Gifts for the family is a specific category on the Gift Menagerie.
TREASURES, TRAVEL, AND TALES: A site as random and rambling as the
author. Dawn Rae firmly believes that the best gifts are those that
create memories or relationships. Whether those relationships are with
friends, family, and pets or with inanimate things such as the earth,
books, and her beloved Jeep. On the pages of this site you will find
"treasures" which are Dawn Rae's gift recommendations, "travel" which
will include great places for adventure in the mid-Atlantic region, and
"tales" which will include book reviews as well as the author's journey
in the writing world. To make a long story short, this sit should have
been entitled, "Included, but not limited to."
RAINTREE EARTH DESIGNS:
Here we discuss the background, history, emotions and any interesting facts relating to the designs and photographs displayed on Raintree Earth Designs Zazzle. Our unique photographs are taken by us in our garden and on country walks in UK and abroad which are made into a variety of greetings cards and gift ideas. Most of these photographs and designs originate from our appreciation of nature and wildlife and the site may also feature other respected designers.
