Those you know well or would do well to know better.
The wide-of-wing, who feather and foster others.
Next of kin and kindred spirits alike.
Flirtations, fledgling attachments or those for whom passion persists.
Gifts to acknowledge life’s grander occasions.
Gifts to assist the patron, party guest or plus one.
In spirit if not in fact: those inclined towards adventure and athleticism.
For assuaging the woes of young adulthood.
Oversized and out-of-the-ordinary, for souls that are seldom serious.
