the gift everyone needs, but doesn’t know it yet
December 3rd, 2013
I am not big on Christmas shopping. Don’t get me wrong I love me some Christmas, but I try to avoid the shopping bit. The stores are crowded and claustrophobic, the people are all crabby and wanty, and no one ends up liking what you bought them anyway. For Christmas I usually make cookies and candy for everyone on my list, but every once in a while I want to give someone something that lasts.
Enter the perfect present: the solar-powered rainbow maker. The mobile makers did not contact me for this post, they do not sponsor my blog, they don’t even know I exist. I just think that everyone needs a rainbow maker in their life. Your sister, your friends who just had a baby, your kid’s teachers, your mail carrier, your crabby grandpa, they all need more rainbows in their life. They might not know it yet, but they do.
We received the double rainbow maker as a gift years ago. You can hang the mobile up with a wire or stick it to a window with the suction cup. We stuck ours to a sunny window and the room exploded with rainbows. I couldn’t believe how magical it was–for my kids and me. Not so magical when I slammed it over and over again trying to get the window open, but we got another. Then someone very sneaky stole the crystal and hid it (forever). Not only will we be giving rainbow makers this Christmas, we’ll be getting one for ourselves too.
Great idea! I love the quilted telephone poles, too!
I had that rainbow maker. I lost it a few moves ago, but you’re right—-magic! It would make a great gift.
I love those rainbow makers! I bought one for my son for his birthday, but it was kind of for me.
ooh, pretty! Yes, everyone needs rainbows!
I love this!!! Thank you so much for posting. My son is always finding rainbows in our kitchen. This is going to be his best gift this Christmas. He is definitely getting one. Thanks again. : )
yay! so glad! During those short, cold days in February, you will be very thankful for the rainbows.
oh that is so cool! i have added it to my rainbow-loving daughter’s wish list. she definitely doesn’t know she needs this, but she does.
The little rainbows are so cheery! Have just unearthed ours after a move… erm, three years ago! Miss Ethel – our kit – loves to chase the rainbows…
