I would love to give this to my big sister Becca. She bought her first house a few years ago and still has a lot of empty space to decorate. The pale blue color reminds me of her peaceful eyes.

Cute! I would give this to my husband, Andy. He loves all things spiraled & geometric! He deserves it because he just put up with me changing our living room furniture around for the umteenth time...he hates it when I do that! :)

I'd get this for my friend Christena - she just got her first apartment and is really looking for things to decorate with and this pale blue would go well with the rest of her stuff.

I would love to give this to my mother, who was recently widowed. I'd like for her to start feeling a bit of "peace" again at Christmastime instead of just sadness.
