Best Gift Ever!
What makes a great gift for the love of your life?I happened across Whirled Events in the usual round about blog way a week or two ago (that is, adding my two cents worth in response to a question she had on ProBlogger). I like the way Carolyn writes and I feel like a kindred spirit because we are both just about to launch our business sites. And "Whirled Events" is a great name. So I added a link here and started thinking what the best gift I ever got was.
I have to say, the answer surprised me, will surprise Heather when she reads this, and might just dismay poor Carolyn.
Sitting in the basement, unbuilt, is a remote control airplane. I was tickled pink when Heather gave it to me and I am still delighted every time I see the kit. I like building things, though I have a hard time getting around to them. I've wanted to fly RC airplanes ever since I was a kid (a couple of attempts then were complete disasters). But I don't remember telling Heather about it. I have to admit, a model airplane is more a gift for a kid than an adult.
So... the gift came as a complete surprise and it was perfect. A pretty nice combo, eh?
Even though I haven't started building the plane (after almost two years), I still love the fact that Heather got it for me. So... I guess the moral of the story is that a great gift isn't about the money spent, but about knowing the person you are getting it for.

Dan,
I'm not at all dismayed. In fact, I think that's a fabulous gift - it shows that Heather knows you well, it's something you didn't even realize you wanted, and it obviously made a long-term impact in your mind. So, props to Heather, and thanks for the link. Keep up the great writing, and let me know when your site is up!
All the best,
Carolyn
