I had seen the Willow Angels in stores several times before I received the first one as a gift. I try not to be a collector of gifts but rather a giver of them, but this one was just so personal and meaningful that I kept it.
No long after that I received one from a student who who gave me the Angel of Knowledge from the same collection along with a card that made me know this too was a keeper.
I know have four such Willow Angel keepers. They are unique as far as angels go.
If you need a gift that says more than itself, check out the collection. If you receive you, don't be too hasty in shelving...
