The Gift Exchange

I used to love having tea parties when I was a kid, and I can clearly remember one time when my grandmother discovered that I had been using the same tea bag over & over for weeks. She asked me where I had been keeping it and I told her in the teabox. “Could you show me the teabox?” she asked. I proudly led her over to the closet and pointed at a round box to the back. Unbeknownst to me, one of my grandma’s favorite hats resided in the “teabox” too. She never said a word to me about that instance, but told me later that she laughed herself silly because she had worn the hat and didn’t realize that there was a big tea stain on it.

If my grandmother were alive today, she would adore the Wood Chest of Silken Tea Pyramids that GiftTree just introduced. The “teabox” itself is a work of art, unlike the hat box I used as a child, and it can be given as a great personalized gift as well. To my grandma the consummate tea drinker, I would engrave the words Tea Totaller on the box. She would have gotten a kick out of that! Looking for the perfect gift for the tea lover in your life? I think we have your cup of tea!
