Good gifts fit the people that they are given to. They correspond to a quality in their natures or a bit of their personalities. And a bit of yours.

Gift-giving is matchmaking.

A mummy in a torn up tablecloth (above), a mime in our mother's Breton stripes, a ghost in an eye-holed sheet, a fairy princess in a flower girl dress reimagined with the addition of coat hanger wings, a "bag of potatoes" made by sticking our legs through...a bag of potatoes. We were the kinds of kids who made our Halloween costumes from whatever was around.

You know that feeling when you have a piece of news SO BIG and SO EXCITING that your entire being becomes an incandescent bubble factory of joy? This is big, guys.
