Jane Seymour Gives Romantic Gift Ideas

Never Mind Sexy,

Jane Brings Romance Back

I'm still not sure how I found, Jane Seymour's Guide to Romantic Living from the 80s, but I did a few years ago and its stuck with me ever since. Best of all since it's now out of print, the folks at her official website posted its contents on the web for you to read free of charge. In the romantic gifts chapter Jane gives thoughts on how to add a personal touch to gift giving and what touched her over the years. Read chapter 13 yourself here at Jane Seymour's Guide to Romatic Living.

One of Jane Seymour's top picks:

"take along a Polaroid camera and a multiple picture frame; at the end of the reception, as you leave, give them the frame full of photographs."

This sounds so simple but works great when you're going to a house party but find yourself without a hostess gift! Once again it's about doing what many forget that can make your gift that more special. How many times have we been at a great party and seen people we haven't seen for ages... only to come home and find ourselves without any pictures to share with others? I can't even count how many times I wished I had brought a camera thinking someone else would (of course they didn't). You don't need a super fancy camera either as Cynthia Rowley, like Jane, showed in her fun book Swell where she suggested you bring along a Polaroid camera, use up all the film on fellow guests and then make it romantic by adding a ribbon bow to the stack and handing it to your host on your way out the door. Talk about class!
