Bonsai
The Japanese and Chinese languages are something of an unfathomable mystery to many of us in the North West corner of Europe. All those strange symbols are not our cup of tea when it comes to making sense of the written word. At least many European languages use the same or similar alphabet so we can make an ill educated guess at what a word might possibly sound like. Despite having had a limited but (some may consider) reasonable amount of contact with Japanese people through my work in the past, I am thoroughly ashamed to admit that my only command of their ancient and complex language is restricted to the words for `yes`, `no`, `goodbye`, `thank you` and the appropriate response to `thank you` which means `don`t mention it` or `you are welcome` and sounds (phonetically, at least) something remarkably like `don`t touch my moustache`. In fact, our experience of South East Asian culture in general is pretty much restricted to affairs oof the stomach. That is unless, of course, you are familiar with the ancient art of Bonsai. Any initiate of the art of Bonsai will be able to add to your vocabulary of `yes`, `no`, `goodbye`, `thank you` and `don`t touch my moustache` two more words of Japanese to increase your fluency. These make up the two halves of the word Bonsai and are `bon` which I am reliably informed is the word in Japanese for basin or bowl) and, (you guessed it) `sai` which apparently means `to plant`. There you are, your first lesson in Bonsai (pronounced bon-sigh) is over. Bet you still can`t write it in Japanese, though.

Baby Gift Baskets
The whole point of Baby Gift Baskets iss that they are personalised making them a lovely bespoke baby gift. They start with a pretty white wicker basket which is fully lined with pink or blue gingham. These delightful Baby Gift Baskets are ideal for use in the nursery afterwards for baby`s toiletries. Then there is a 100% white cotton Bib with Velcro fastening and gingham appliqu� teddies in Blue or Pink. The Bib will be embroidered with your chosen name and date of birth to add that truly personal touch! If you know baby`s birth weight and time of birth, that can be put on too this is great idea! Then there is a traditional fully-jointed teddy along with a pair of gorgeous bootees with either Pink or Blue trim, as well as an essential baby soft Brush and Comb set. To complete all of the Baby Gift Baskets there is a stunning Silver Plated First Toot

Handmade Cards
I was reading about the plight of elephants in Sri Lanka the other day and how mankind is treating them so unfairly. This subject was brought to my attention through a supplier that sells a range of Handmade Cards. At first the link between the two might not seem apparent but the cards are made from recycled paper as well as elephant dung. Certain card suppliers support foundations that have been formed to help protect the elephants that are in distress. Customers who buy the handsome range of Handmade Cards are making their contribution to the plight but they are also getting a charming selection of cards at the same. A full range of Handmade Cards are available to cover a variety of occasions. There are Birthday cards for relatives and Christmas cards for close friends, as well as a host of get well cards for people that are unwell. Rather than popping into the nearest card shop to buy a bulk stock item, wouldn`t it be much nicer to buy one of the Handmade Cards as they support such a worthy cause? Not only are they exquisite to look at they are made from 100% recycled materials and they do far more good than the typical types of shop bought cards.
