Gifts of Gratitude (Part 1) - Studio Penny Lane

My reminder to be grateful
On Tuesday morning after doing a near-perfect job of parallel parking, I stepped out of my car and saw this penny amid the natural debris on the street - and immediately thought of Studio Penny Lane, one of the companies I represent.

Studio Penny Lane creates products based on the concept that the penny is a reminder to be grateful and embraces the practice of taking a moment to acknowledge something for which we are grateful when we find a penny like this.

I paused briefly and decided I was grateful that it wasn't raining and that it finally felt like autumn.  Simple?  Yes, but my schedule precluded spending more time on it at that moment.  On the two-hour ride home, however, I had plenty of time to ponder that penny and use it as inspiration for a new blog post.  (That was once I remembered that I have a blog because I haven't posted anything for...well...a while.)

Since I'm a sales person, it also made me consider other products I sell that are gratitude-inspired.  I'll post about those later which is why this one is noted as Part One. 

Pennies from Heaven Apothecary Jar - also available in clear glass
The Apothecary jar collection is the best-selling product.  Pictured above is the Pennies from Heaven design, and below is the Gratitude one.  Each jar is available in amber glass (shown) as well as clear glass, and you can retail them in the $30-35 range.

The question I am asked most often is "What do you do with it?" 

The jars each come with a "prescription" to inspire its owner on how to use it.  It suggests you put it in a highly-visible location so that you are reminded daily of its purpose and to use the slips of paper that are included to write down one thing for which you are grateful before placing the paper in the jar. 

The jar becomes a collection of that tells a story of the people, things, situations, friendships and circumstances for which you are thankful.  It is a thoughtful gift that becomes a unique, personal reflection of each recipient.

Gratitude Apothecary Jar from Studio Penny Lane - also available in clear glass
The product range also includes jewelry and accessories that incorporate actual pennies into the design, providing another reminder to always be grateful.

Studio Penny Lane is a unique product line with a powerful message.  It's also a welcome gift suggestion for your customers buying for that person who has everything!
