Happy Holidays from Urn Garden

December 15, 2008 urngarden.com

Here’s my holiday gift-giving-don’t. An urn as a surprise Christmas gift. Bad idea.

The guy who bought the  urn pendant for his girlfriend. He called ahead to check the return policy in the event she was uncomfortable with his gift. She was.

One well-meaning lady wanted to buy this urn for her daughter’s boyfriend who’d lost his mother the prior Christmas. She just knew he’d be thrilled to find the Purple Passion urn under the tree. He wasn’t.

Both clients had their bad idea jeans on that day.

Please.  Call me if your significant other specifically requests an urn as a Christmas gift. It’s kind of a personal choice, don’t assume.

Merry Christmas!

    Oh lord, a doormat… the wrapping is what really made it, I imagine! I think my worst was a pair of jeans from my mother because she thought I had put on weight. (They ended up being a size too big.)

    One year, my grandmother sent me a sweater, size 6X and a pre-teen purse. I was 23 years old at the time. Never found out if she meant to do that or if my gift was mixed up with the other grandkids!! Too funny.

    Urn can be given as a gift as remembrance of a loved ones (whether for human or animal) and is given to a family in their hardest and sorrow times. By giving it as a gift we try to give them comfort from their loss of a loved one and to remember the one who had passed.
