If your gift is based on the principles of Feng Shui, you may get a wonderfully positive response. Welcoming sounds outside your door creates a good flow of Chi, wards off negative energy, and encourages friends to visit.
As gifts, windchimes are unique, making a pleasant change from the usual presents which mainly appeal to our visual sense. They are given as Wedding, Baptism, Anniversary and Valentine presents. It is interesting to observe that church bells are always rung before and after a wedding or baptism 'protecting' the sacred space between the two bell chimings.
Knowing that our audible capacity is ten times greater than our visual spectrum make windchimes memorable gifts. In the past, we have been taught to focus and rely almost exclusively on our visual capacity, but only recently, the importance of our audible faculty is being recognized. Our audible memory FAR exceeds that of our visual memory, making a sensitive audible gift.
They are particularly thoughtful for family housewarming presents, for Thank- you's, Birthdays, end of the year Company gifts, Christmas presents, Estate Agent, Architect or Interior Decorator handover gifts and also Tourist momentos.
Moreover, chimes are enjoyed by men, women and children - old and young - and are easily posted and transportable. They are not enjoyed just by one member of the family, but by the entire household.
