How do you celebrate 6 years?

That was the question I had to answer when it came to putting together a going away gift for our Rochester manager, Dena.  It’s just a lot harder to answer when the gift recipient’s job was all about finding the perfect gift for all occasions.

After some pinterest brainstorming sessions, I was inspired by these vacation memory jars.  So I started a little collection of goodies that represented Dena’s time with us.

The items I included all had a meaning behind them.  I wrote little stories about each goody on a paper that I gave along with the jar.

It was a bit of a challenge to fit everything inside, but a including a photo definitely makes for a nice backdrop.

I think this idea could make a fantastic gift for any milestone event or new season of life.

I originally planned on including the butterfly inside the jar, but realized it was too big & since it was magnetized, it rested perfectly on the jar lid.  I also like how it represents change & beauty… just like Dena pursuing her creative passion full time.
