Sean, don't you worry about it. I find great pleasure in giving gifts. If I find the perfect "thing", I am thrilled beyond measure. I was asked once what was my secret talent...it is remembering what people want. You can mention it five years ago, and if I find it I pounce. Oh the thrill.
Cutie pie!
Thankyou miKKo, Scandi, V, inky, eye4 and kerry!
I know those candleholders and I am guessing that cute polar bear is a tiny one :) It is amazing! Also the WMF candleholders! I know my best friend will be happy to see the original label on it. Great find!
