Willow Tree Angels Review

It's really hard to know what to give students graduating. I know. I looked all over town and kept coming up empty until I saw the Willow Tree Angels at the Hallmark Shop.

Willow Tree Angels are designed by Susan Lordi. She started making her angels back in 2000 and has continued to expand. Her idea was to capture emotions in figurines. She went with an angel idea and no features. This reminds me of the Amish baby dolls with no faces painted on. It makes the angels mush more versitle and open for the imagination of the giver or the receiver.

My thought was to give each of my advisees a guardian angel. There are a lot of different Willow Tree angels, and I was able to find one to match each of the three girls who have studied with me for four years.

I did add a card and note with each gift to explain about the guardian angel idea and why I selected the angel in the package. An example would be that I got one girl the Angel of Courage. She is moving far away and starting on a new adventure. I would hope to send her courage.

My "girls" won't graduate until Saturday, and I do hope they like the Willow Tree Angel idea. My sister gave me one of these for Christmas, and I really love it. I will hope it brings as much joy to my graduates.  I also hope they do not read my reviews online before Saturday - for obvious reasons.
