TheGiftTag - Gift Ideas for Great Gift Giving

If you have a horse lover in your life that you shop for, take a look at this gorgeous Spirit Journal by Kim McElroy.

‘Lionheart’ Journal by Kim McElroy’s Spirit of Horse Gifts — View Larger

365 Gear; 365 Days of Great Gear and Art put me onto this outstanding horse lover’s gift. I was aware of Kim McElroy’s work but had not seen this particular painting. McElroy describes this painting as such: “Kiger Mustang stallion was the perfect model for this painting. His gentle wildness is the perfect complement to the lion’s strength and sense of purpose.”

Thank you, 365 Gear, for directing me to this piece, and to Kim McElroy for creating such a beautiful capturing of the spirit of the horse.

Any horse lover will delight in receiving such a beautiful journal, but I thought it particularly appropriate for the back-to-school time of year. Most any teen or pre-teen girl would love this journal for recording her daily thoughts. For more horse lover gifts visit Memaw’s Garden.

Browsing back-to-school backpacks took me back to my own school days in 2nd grade, when I proudly carried my book satchel to school every day. It was a child’s version of a briefcase and was of red plaid fabric. It had a handle and a shoulder strap. I remember how special and proud my book satchel made me feel. Fast-forward to my kids’ school days when the backpack left the hiking trail and went to school. Now, there is a backpack for every purpose, from diapers to laptops.

I found these absolutely adorable kid’s backpacks at Luggage.com. This Wildkin Backpack Collection, sized for children from preschool to 2nd grade, is designed with vivid patterns of horses, rodeo, cats and dogs, planets, tropical fish, construction, soccer and eleven other motifs. They feature a padded back and adjustable padded straps for your child’s comfort, and are constructed of durable polyester and are sized for the young child from preschool to 2nd grade.

These backpacks are very reasonably priced and Luggage.com has a free shipping offer through August 1. To quickly browse through our generous selection of student’s back to school backpacks visit Memaw’s Garden.
