The Gift of a Rocking Chair

Gifting a Weeks Rocking ChairWe often have surprises in the works.  Many rockers we build are ordered by someone for another. Fathers-to-be order chairs for mothers-to-be. Grandparents-to-be order chairs for their expecting children, children order for parents, wives for husbands, husbands for wives, friends for friends. Employers give rocking chairs to appreciated and deserving associates, maybe retiring, maybe staying on.  Businesses and organizations send rockers to customers, vendors, and other supporters.

I am sure there is no other piece of furniture that is more meaningful as a gift, and I am inclined to think a rocking chair is as meaningful as gifts get.  I can only list words to define this meaning:  comfort, secure, contented, warm, relaxed, enfolded, hearth, home, family, nurture, sustain, respite, graceful — quite a collection of benefits to give someone.

Rockers for gifts are often made personal by an inlay, engraving, or plaque.  We can inlay initials, symbols, logos, ranch brands, etc. into chair backs.  We can engrave dates, names, and other (limited) lines of text into chairbacks.  We can have a bronze plaque made for the bottom of the chair with many words of choice.  We provide a proof for approval by mail, email, or FAX to show how these ornaments will appear.

We can keep a secret.  We can coordinate delivery so the secret is maintained as long as possible.  Given lead-time, we can have a rocking chair delivered just before or on significant dates.  We get to savor a bit of the fun.
