A Wellness Possibilities gift card is a great gift to give to someone who is recovering from an illness or who you want to encourage to take better care of themselves. They can use it to try a new wellness service and maybe even find a way to be healthier.

Most people already have more stuff than they know what to do with. Best to give something that can help make life better.

Pleasant Valley Lavender

An Experience (or other non-material gift)

Under $25

I own and operate New Jersey's only Lavender farm. In season (June - mid August) people can come and pick lavender in our fields. Fresh bundles are $5 and $8 - very reasonable! Dried bundles are $7 and $10.
When we are open in the spring and summer you can bring your own picnic and hang out on our 10 acre farm(no charge). I can teach you about growing and processing lavender for sachets, culinary uses or just to admire (again, no charge). We also installed in 2011 a 7 circuit Chartres style Labyrinth for guests to walk and enjoy.

I sell handmade lavender soaps, sachets, body wraps, lavender oils and linen spray, as well as culinary lavender and lavender honey. I also make lavender-filled doggie bandanas ("Chillax Puppy") and for those of us who still enjoy hardcovers and paper books, lavender-filled, origami bookmarks. Prices for our products range from $2 to $25.

Off- season we are open by appointment and I am super flexible time-wise. To make arrangements to come visit outside of the normal, seasonal hours, call 732-740-4832, or email via the contact page of our website.

I am a former state senator in New Jersey and love to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for lavender. If people want to hang out and chat politics that's okay too.

Relax! Remember gifts don't always have to fit in a package or under a tree. Your most precious gift may be to share your time or experiences with those you love.

During the holidays be mindful to enjoy, share and savor your blessings. Always take time to be thankful.

If you can't avoid being stressed by the holiday "hustle and bustle," take refuge in a lavender-infused bath, or enjoy some lavender tea while draped in a lavender body-wrap. Lavender really does wonders for frazzled nerves. Enjoy!

I am offering discounted holiday gift certificates for my professional organizing services, ranging from a simple consultation to full days of work. I have great references! (but no website -- i work through referral only)

I work in any neighborhood in NYC easily accessible by public transportation

None - contact me directly for further info

Feel free to re-gift! And I also tell clients (post-holiday) that gifts should be about the exchange, and not the actual object. Therefore they shouldn't feel guilty about getting rid of gifts that they really don't like or will use. Getting rid of the scary item from Aunt Mary doesn't mean you want to get rid of Aunt Mary herself!
