Somebody Who Loves Her Sent This

And The Other End Of It

Giving It Is Beautiful Too

A grandmother, a godmother, an aunt — or you, personally, giving this to a girl you love. Six steps, and the giver sees the wrapping before it goes.

Who She IsHer name, her age, and the parent to write to. We ask for that alone.
Your Own WordsA note in your hand, which arrives before the first letter does and is the first they read.
Choose Her ShirushiThe threshold gift that marks the beginning of her year. The one object in this, and the giver chooses it.
When It OpensToday, her birthday, or a morning you choose. It waits, wrapped, until then.
See It WrappedThe box, tied, with the mark on the ribbon, exactly as she will see it. Changed until it is right.
And It GoesThe family open it together. You are told the moment they do.
