That was the question I had to answer when it came to putting together a going away gift for our Rochester manager, Dena.\u00a0 It’s just a lot harder to answer when the gift<\/em> recipient’s job<\/em> was all about finding the perfect gift for all occasions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After some pinterest<\/a> brainstorming sessions, I was inspired by these vacation memory jars<\/a>.\u00a0 So I started a little collection of goodies that represented Dena’s time with us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The items I included all had a meaning behind them.\u00a0 I wrote little stories about each goody on a paper that I gave along with the jar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a bit of a challenge to fit everything inside, but a including a photo definitely makes for a nice backdrop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think this idea could make a fantastic gift for any milestone event or new season of life.<\/p>\n

I originally planned on including the butterfly inside the jar, but realized it was too big & since it was magnetized, it rested perfectly on the jar lid.\u00a0 I also like how it represents change & beauty… just like Dena pursuing her creative passion full time.<\/p>\n
