The Holidays are just 3 weeks away. If you know what you are buying for your friends and loved ones you are lucky; if you have your entertainment ideas all planned and ready for execution – good for you, but if you have no ideas, no plans and no time: there is still hope. I’d like to inform you about a few things which may help:
First, Personalized Gifts and Holiday Greetings with Google Templates from Google Docs.
There are templates available for party invitation, gift tags and even gift certificates. Imagine: you print out your own gift certificate, insert it in the envelope with personalized real or virtual card and a written promise or a check, and viola!. Very personal and even generous gift with a lot of time left for real celebration of being close.
On the other hand, who said all the greeting cards have to depict winter Holidays? Besides, some people have birthdays, aniversaries and many other important things to remember. In this case a bouquet of flowers (in form of the painting) by an artist “of the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassicism and Romanticism periods” would be an appropriate gift.
For that I’d like you to check out Web Gallery of Art: Here.
“The Web Gallery of Art is a virtual museum and searchable database of European painting and sculpture from 12th to mid-19th centuries.”
You may send (by email) any picture of the collection as a postcard, and even have an option to attach a music to it.
All you have to do is to choose a painting and enter your own greeting text. You may change the background of the card (not painting) and the color of the text. It’s fun, it’s original, it relays the message.
Christmass theme paintings are available also.
And, by the way, while you enjoy the Gallery, you may listen to a music as well.
Then, you may even combine these two ideas. From the comfort of your home (or office?) you may deliver as many gifts as you wish, and still, you always have an option to deliver something material in addition to this virtual card, later.
