The Birthday Back Support I can still see the look on my husband's face after he'd opened his birthday present. The last thing he expected to see as he excitedly tore through the wrapping and opened the box was a back support belt. It was years ago when we lived in the mountains near Cle Elum, Washington. We were newbie snowmobilers and each time we went riding, we came home with aching backs. If the ride was long or particularly bumpy we were in agony and often could hardly walk. I finally went to a chiropractor seeking help for the pain and was given a back support belt to wear daily. After wearing it on the next snowmobiling jaunt I discovered that my back didn't hurt afterward. Naturally, I wanted to share this wonderful discovery with my husband. Since his birthday is in the middle of snowmobiling season, I decided to gift him with this life enhancing back brace. His reaction was less than joyous. In fact, it was more along the lines of dismay, perhaps touched with a bit of revulsion. It took a bit of encouragement, but he finally decided to try wearing it on one of our trips over a notoriously mogul-filled trail. That evening after we'd returned home and he realized he was pain free, he thanked me profusely for the belt. Each time we rode after that and he'd take his belt off, he'd look over at me and thank me again. Shortly afterward he bought two new back support belts - one for each of us. These were heavy duty belts designed for rugged sports such as snowmobiling and cross country motorcycling. We still have those belts. In fact, he has his with him where he works as a heavy equipment operator. When he's operating a bulldozer over particularly rough terrain he wears his back support belt. This one small gift has enhanced my husband's life for years and still continues to do so. There are so many things we can give people during this holiday season. The selection of glitz and glitter is almost overwhelming in the malls and stores. Electronic gadgets, the toy of the minute, jewelry, decorative clothing. This year I invite you to ask one question as you're making the decision to buy a gift for someone you care about: Will this gift truly enhance the quality of their life? Before you go to the carnival of lights and high energy at the mall, spend a few quiet minutes going through your gift list. What gifts might you give each of those people that would improve the quality of their life in some way? Here are a few suggestions:
With a little bit of creative thought you'll no doubt find even more ideas for gifts that will keep on giving long after the wrapping paper's been recycled. Love, ps. Hey! Wait a minute! I've got some more ideas for gifts! Read on for a few more gift suggestions to improve the quality of life for the people that you care about.
This year ensure that the gifts to the ones you love that will long be enjoyed. Instead of giving stuff that may or may not be appreciated, or even used, give them something that they'll remember long after they've forgotten about the ties, video games, fruit cakes, and other stuff they get. Something that will make their life even better than it is now with you in it. Here's some more suggestions:
