NOTED FOR THE NEW YEAR
When Linda Tong fell in love with her then-boyfriend, she wanted the perfect way to show him her appreciation without scaring him off with the idea of a 'love letter' (you know how that feels) so she decided to create 31 little notes sealed in small envelopes, and enclosed in a jar, with inspiring words on each. Her boyfriend opened each note every day, putting a smile on his face. Well, she didn’t scare him off and now they’re married.
Linda wants to share her KindNotes, Message in a jar with everyone now. They’re perfect for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries and other occassions.
KindNotes come in a versatile selection of decorative jars with pre-made greetings. You can also create a customized jar. Retailing at $25.95 to $39.95, check out KindNotes at www.kindnotes.com.
