When it comes to gift giving, finding the right gift can sometimes feel like a challenge. What do they want? What do they need? Chances are they could probably get it for themselves. So, what kind of gift can you get?
Growing up there was a restaurant nearby that I still think about today. It wasn’t the food or the service that I remember, it was the artwork. All around the restaurant, on the walls and even hanging from the ceiling, was the most interesting artwork. I had never seen anything like it before – largescale pieces with a crisp and shadowy chalkboard background and brightly coloured words.
Each piece was distinct and wonderfully unique. All I could think was, “Wow! Chalkboard art is amazing.” I loved how the words told stories, jokes, and sometimes said things to make you think, even if it was just about the food.
I remember trying to crane my neck and tilt it to every which way. The pictures were so interesting, I was always trying to see as many of the pieces as I could. I didn’t want to miss a thing. With creative designs and styled words, each piece truly spoke to me.
Inspired by chalkboard art, many of my Things We {Love} About You designs are now available as chalkboard editions. Each of these designs has a distinct chalkboard background with bold, swirling, or handwritten chalk-syle fonts.
Things We {Love} About You Gifts

I’ve been there! When my mom turned 60 years old, I knew I needed the perfect gift. I couldn’t give her just anything, it needed to be special. But what could I get her?
All that came to mind were the fun (and sometimes zany) times we’ve spent together. From travelling to shopping and even wearing matching outfits, there were so many memories. The more memories I thought of, the clearer the gift became.
I would give a gift filled with all the things we love about my mom. The gift would be from me, my daughter, and husband. It would be filled with 60 reasons we love her – one memory (or reason) for each of her 60 years. (You can read all about the gift, 60 Things We {Love} About You.)
MAKING THIS GIFT WAS SINCERELY A JOY, BUT GIVING IT TO MY MOM WAS EVEN BETTER.
On the day of her birthday, with the framed gift resting on her lap and my two-year-old daughter draped over her arm, I watched as my mom read the list aloud. She laughed at the funny memories and teared up at the sentimental ones. She probably read through the list at least five times before proudly displaying it on the wall. Nearly three years later, her gift still hangs on her wall. She tells me that she stops and reads it every day.
GIVE A GIFT THAT NO ONE ELSE CAN GIVE, BUT YOU!
Seeing how much joy this gift gave my mom, I wanted you to be able to make one too.
Customers and their families are loving these gift just as much as my mom.
