Now that I had ‘the inspiration‘ for these nature inspired gifts, and the general idea of how to share this ‘feeling’, the next step was coming up with the ‘who.’
Naturally Birthdays, Weddings, and Anniversary seemed pretty obvious, so I began designing what were certainly a few of the original products.
But what I really learned as I was creating them, they truly applied to everyone! And I loved that!
I immediately knew my direction was to meant to be personal, yet general enough that these could be enjoyed by all! It was with great intent that the keepsake cards have images and verbiage that transends any ‘differences’ we may have, but instead allows everyone to imagine their loved one enjoying a heartfelt gift when it’s most needed.
So the concept became learning what ‘all occasions‘ meant to a healing mountain, and as you may have guessed, this too happened slowly. ha
Yes, even this part seemed to come in stages as things just continued to evolve. Housewarming and Pet Loss gifts just weren’t topics that came to me for awhile if I’m being honest, but they fit, and are certainly important life moments.
Every new idea seemed to hault all business progress as a new card design needed to be created, new images taken, and three listings added. So while I am proud that I have even covered Retirement at the time of righting this…’Thinking of you’ still exists only in my head. It’s coming soon, promise. 🙃😅
