A simple, handmade gift of an origami dodecahedron. Given to a mathematician.
A small gesture as gift. It was a joke based on a comment on a "please remove shoes" sign written on an airmail envelope.
A hand-stitched cat toy in the shape of a nettle leaf, given to a cat by someone who's not super into cats.
A hopscotch poem, delivered at dawn over the course of a mile. One word per square, one hopscotch course per stanza.

My gift workshops are based on my book, This Is for You, and are a great way to put the concepts and processes of the book into practice, making them your own.

Gift Workshops

Gift giving can be tricky!

Is a great gift purchased at a store? Sometimes. Could a great gift also be held by the night sky, found in Grandmother’s attic, or handed to us by the ocean? Yes indeed! The possibilities are truly endless when we think more expansively about what is a gift.

Join me, Lea Redmond, to refresh the meaning of the phrase: “It’s the thought that counts.” Learn how to design a uniquely fitting gift for a particular special person in your life via a radically thoughtful creative process of exploration, reflection, and action.

In the workshops, you will:
• enjoy Lea’s collection of great gift stories
• generate and begin to develop your own unique gift idea
• receive feedback and brainstorming
• get energized about gift-giving as a meaningful delight!

Please bring to the workshops:
• a person in mind who you would like to design a gift for (and maybe an occasion too)
• optional: a copy of my book!

Lea is collecting stories of great gifts (or terrible gifts!) and she would love to hear yours! Get in touch.
