Spread Love!
During a period, where being present in the lives of relatives and friends is somewhat limited, where trips had to be canceled, celebrations postponed, I noticed important days such as Easter, Mother’s Day, Birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, are becoming more and more common to be celebrated separately then in person with each other, not counting friends and relatives who live in other States and even in other countries as in my case. Faced with this situation I was thinking of ways to bring people a little closer together, ways to keep in contact with each other and to really be present in the lives of the people I love. Personally, I have been trying to do my best, always sending messages, making some calls, sending cards to communicate with them in some way.
At the end of the year 2020, I opened my online store and since then I have been following and observing the purchase history and comments of many of my customers, (Because my items are very personalized including the comments they are sending in the gifts to their loved ones) and I realized that mainly my diamond-shaped candle was being widely used as a gift from mother to daughter, son to father, from a friend who lives in another state, to teachers, nurses, co-workers as a way of showing their love and affection. Realizing this I began to offer a more personalized message inside the box so that the gift can become a little more personal, also the choice of the theme of the box, and the responses from everyone were beautiful!
On the first day of the year, as I always do, I went to the beach to write my resolutions for the year that was just starting, sitting in the sand, meditating for some time I started writing, first thankful for all the opportunities I had the previous year (yes I try to see the positive side of everything that was happening, to study, plan and organize my life), thankful for all my learning, and began to draw up a plan for the new year ahead. And what came to my mind immediately was “Spread Love” as my mission for 2021.
For a few seconds I was wondering what was the best way to do this and then it came to me, my diamond candle, which became one of my bestselling items in the year 2020. I realized that so many of these candles were being personalized with comments of love and affection and sent because they were missing seeing these people in person and wanted them to know they were thinking about them.
I then thought about the messages and reviews of my customers commenting on the joy of receiving a product made with so much love, received so unexpectedly most of the time, with personalized messages from their loved ones, often even without being a special day or holiday, simply because someone was thinking of them!
That is when the candle “Spread Love” was born, a simple gesture but filled with Love and affection. Each candle contains a hidden crystal inside, it also comes in a beautiful box with a personalized message from the sender, packed with great love & care, because I make sure that everyone who receives my products feels incredibly special and loved.
As soon as I came home, I created a list of people that I will surprise this year. With the start of the year, I have already sent some surprise gifts to some people who were not expecting them and the reactions were so positive that I immediately began to “Spread Love” to move of my friends and family.
What about you? Do you have someone you are thinking of that you would like to “Spread Love” to? Help make this world a little happier during these hard times by sending out a small token of your love and affection.
