I've been thinking of something I could post here that would be both useful and informative for the start of this year. While I'm not a fan of astrological limitations of what a person should be, based on when he/she happened to be born, I quite like the idea of jewellery (who doesn't, right). Flowers don't hurt either.
I've made a list of birth stones
and flowers which make traditional gifts
for friends and family (especially women) related to the month in which they were born. Make a note of these for when you're shopping for presents for the rest of the year.
