Tips Suggestions on how and where to enjoy your
precious time off.
Cancer Woman
A sensitive Cancer woman would love a book of
poems. Better yet, present her with one poem you've written
with a fountain pen on parchment paper--she'll keep it forever.
Both pearls and silver are ruled by this sign, and either
would flatter her delicate, translucent skin. If you buy pearls,
make them cultured, the very best you can afford for your
little sea-creature cancer. If you are her lover, a locket
would appeal to her too. Be sure to slip a photo of yourself
inside and engrave "I love you" on the back.
If you buy her a nightgown, make it silk charmuse
in pearly white or smoky blue-gray, edged in lace. Send her
to the most talented black & white portrait photographer you
can afford to have her picture taken. Prior to her sitting,
give her an appointment with a top metropolitan hair stylist
and make-up artist. That would make a hit!
Send her white roses, acanthus or gardenias,
or plant bulbs of paper whites or narcissus for her garden.
Her cooking skills are renowned, so pick out some new kitchen
gear for her. Here you have endless options, and even practical
ideas are good ones. Copper pots, a set of steak knives, a
wooden salad bowl set, an electric wok, a cappuccino machine--browse
a department store for ideas! If you know her decor colors,
buy her a set of designer sheets and matching comforter or
a brand new set of placemats. The Cancer woman is sentimental,
so silver or glass candlesticks would be just grand! Or choose
an antique, hand-painted keepsake tin to hold cookies you
bake yourself and share with her. Handmade is often the best
gift of all.
