January has a little bit of a reputation for making people feel a little low. Recently my boyfriend told me that he was feeling a little uninspired and so I thought I would put together a little bit of an inspiration care package. He's a knowledgeable fellow and so I thought I would find some really interesting books that would get anyone's mind racing. I really enjoyed putting it together- I think I shall try and make lots more little presents like this because who wouldn't enjoy getting a little box of things through the post?
The books I chose were
The Elements of Eloquence (which apparently is amazing),
The Dictionary of Idioms and their origins,
The Reverence Guppy's Aquarium,
The Historical figure of Jesus. Oh and if you're wondering about the shark- I have
this little eraser and sometimes I follow George around with it and just repeat "I am a basking shark!" in a low and laborious voice. It's very annoying and oh so much fun.
Ally, this is such a lovely idea. I was thinking of sending somebody a box of yellow-coloured objects to brighten up their day as it is a happy colour but this is a much better idea :) xxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! Could do with one myself sometimes hah :) Beeta I think the yellow idea is great too, it's such a cheer up colour amongst the January blues! x
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet idea! I think this'll really help to kick January's ass! x
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing gift! Please report back on the books, I think I need to read The Reverend Guppy's Aquarium.
