Cuddle 'n Cwtch - 15 Gorgeous Gifts

It's said in Wales that -

'Anyone can cuddle,

But only the Welsh

Can cwtch'

 Maybe the reason for this is that there's no really accurate English translation of this favourite Welsh word, 'cwtch'. (Click here for an attempt to define it's many meanings.)

And here's just a sample of the many 'Cwtch' gifts for sale in my Zazzle store so far:

Introducing my Friends from the Old Folks Home!

Maybe it's because I'm not so young myself that I seem to be able to design greeting cards and motifs for gifts for the older generation?

They're mostly for men but a few ladies have crept in amongst them. And none of them seems really ready to put their feet up just yet - except, perhaps, for 'Ernest', who seems quite firmly rooted in his chair -

Top Ten Greeting Cards and Gifts with Watercolour Sweet Peas

Sweet Peas are one of my favourites! They come in such beautiful colours and their fragrance is out of this world . . . 

So I was quite shocked when I realised that I had been so busy before Christmas that I had totally forgotten to sow any Sweet Pea seeds. There's still time to sow some but they won't flower as early as they usually do - so in the meantime, here are some lovely dark blue and purple 'Old Fashioned' Sweet peas from my garden that I painted a while back in watercolours. They don't grow as long-stemmed as some other colours but their scent is the best of all!

Who wouldn't be thrilled to receive a greeting card

 to match the gift you've chosen for a loved one? 

My Sweet Pea collection offers just that!
