Ultimately, somebody you know will move house - and this idea will come in rather handy indeed once you would like to come up with a house warming gift that is just a little bit more meaningful and interesting than just handing over a pot plant.
There is certainly an old Celtic tradition which entails the humble snail.
Now the snail carries its house on its back and so it's in no way homeless; but far more, the spiral design of the snail shell was often rather special to the Celtic people, so it makes perfect sense that any kind of snail makes the best home warming present.
To be warm, safe, snug and protected inside one's own home is really a fantastic notion and the snail symbol, or the far more abstract spiral, lends itself to all manner of excellent house warming gifts.
You can make a card rather simply by cutting out a spiral and affixing it with glue; any snail motif on a greeting card, or a picture of a snail drawn or cut out from one more source will make the home warming card unique.
Snails are incredibly common as ornaments, so you'll be able to get an enormous selection of all sizes of snail figurines, from small brass snails to huge garden ornaments created from marble and they're all quickly discovered, on the net and off.
An exotic snail shell, or the shell of a sea snail is an extension of this thought and particularly excellent for beach front properties.
As the basic snail/spiral shape is natural and quick, it is possible to even just uncover a beautiful stone and paint a spiral on it for a superb and incredibly personal and lovely home warming present; further, it truly is the type of gift that the recipients will treasure and maintain, and that can remind them of you and your very good wishes each and every time they see it.
There are plenty of other ways in which the snail design might be utilized for home warming gifts. Should you genuinely need to give a pot plant, it is possible to decorate the pot in which it comes having a spiral. Any budding artist can make and paint a fundamental snail from self hardening clay; snail and spiral mobiles are easy and continually fascinating, too. You'll be able to make a smaller painting that may be hung in a hallway and depending on the recipient, grandchildren can get involved, just the same as famous interior designers, artists and goldsmiths - it only depends on your budget.
I believe that the notion of the Celtic house warming snail is a fantastic approach to convey very good wishes to someone in their new house, and to give them your intention that they must usually be snug, happy, well cared for and safe.
