A friend of mine was looking for a very simple yet very elegant and useful gift for his girlfriend. There was no special day to celebrate but he simply wants to give something to his girlfriend as his way of expressing his love to her. That's sweet. He asked some idea on what gift he should buy. At that time, I was browsing on the web and suddenly, two words caught my eye, word stones. Instantly, we had an idea of a simple but elegant gift.

We wasted no time and headed directly to a mall to look for this special present for my friend's girlfriend. We searched for an outlet that sells word stones. The first shop that we saw was selling pocket stones. They have thousands of beautifully engraved word stones. They have a wide selection of pocket stones with words perfectly engraved on smooth stones. He immediately peeked at each stone on display, while I was standing by the door teasing this one cute saleslady.

After quite some time, he went to me and said we should look for another shop that sells word stones. I said goodbye to the cute saleslady with the name Jenn. We entered at the next outlet that we saw. This time I helped him choose a stone. The store offers personalized word stones, with the customer having the choice of words to be engraved on the stones. So I readily suggested the forever undying phrase for lovers, ?I love you.? He did not like my suggestion.

He is starting to wrack my nerves. I am also getting a bit wary as my friend, and also I, usually does not last long at stores when buying something, whether it is a gift or personal item. We both do not last more than ten minutes inside the stores. As we continued our search for the elusive word stones, made even more difficult by my choosy friend, we saw this Feng Shui store. I suggested that we look at the shop and see if we can find something there.

Inside this store were different kinds of amulets, talismans, lucky charms and many more Feng Shui items. We talked to an attendant and said we were looking for word stones. The attendant, a lady, then showed us another kind of word stones. She said these stones are consecrated with magic. And then we saw stone key chains with engraved horse shoe and clover leaf symbols. She explained these key chains were made of rose quartz gemstones, which are powerful love stones. Finally, my friend saw what he wanted. He bought three different key chains made of word stones.

I got curious over his treatment on these particular gifts for her girlfriend as there was nothing special to celebrate. He then admitted that he did something stupid and so he needs a very special gift as a way of making up with his girl. The story was that he flirted with another girl and got caught by his girlfriend. Now that's something really stupid. Well, thanks to the word stones that we bought, the girl forgave him.
