right card can be time consuming. As overall look of your gift is very important, you must consider size when choosing your card. The safest way is to choose a small size gift card, as it will fit to any size gift. In my opinion, Groovy-0-Grams mini cards are best to use as they fit perfectly on any size gift and they are very affordable. For price of one greeting card, you get six per pack and you can use mini cards for six different occasions. Now that’s a bargain! Not only are they affordable, mini cards are really fun to use as they focus on different personalities rather then occasions. They also promote positive self- esteem, which is a gift in itself.Being prepared in advance with a pack of mini cards will save you time and money. And, when those last minute gift frenzies strike, you will spend more on your gift and less on fluff. Happy gift shopping!

| | Sharing Books With ChildrenWritten by Sherry Frewerd
Continued from page 1
Because books are a very user-friendly activity and require no prep or cleanup other than returning them to ‘library’, parents can and should use any opportunity to share books with their young children. Long car or plane trips, waiting rooms, in shopping carts, you name it, you can hand a child a book and make just about any transition or otherwise boring activity exciting. Books and reading can be both a group or individual activity, and many children who are normally shy in a group setting will sit in reading circle and share story-time while making new friends. By sharing books with your young child, you are planting a precious memory that will last a lifetime for both parent and child. They in turn will continue tradition with their own children and remember those special times. A world of experiences and ideas are waiting for you to introduce to them.
