Simple

Fewer things are more delightful than coming across some small thing that one knows a particular person will enjoy, and presenting it to them.  Humble items, perhaps inconsequential to all but the receiver: a ceramic paring knife; an uncommon color of nail polish; a T-shirt naming an unusual band; a roll of shiny duct tape; a fuzzy bee; a flavor of ice cream. The delight of such tiny moments brings joy to the heart.

I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all. - Laura Ingalls Wilder
