Unable to put the “bucks” in Daddy Warbucks this year? Have no fear The GG is here. For generations, family photos have been held near and dear, passed down and cherished as family heirlooms. However, with the advent of social media and online photo albums, physical copies of actual photographs can be hard to come by; however, they are not obsolete. While we all know I do love social media and online, digital everything I must admit that my motto has always been, and remains to be, that the old fashioned way is always the better way, especially when faced with the decision of showing thoughtful affection. And when it comes to showcasing your pride and joy, aka your loved ones, I think avoiding sharing our germ infested, often cracked, iPhone screens is preferable among the masses. Having a beautifully framed photo proudly displayed on ones desk or in ones home is not only kudo’d but is the perfect conversation piece to resurface the (what seems to be suddenly lost) art of conversation! An added bonus? It’s affordable, easy, and takes five minutes to print your photos from Facebook or Instagram onto quality picture paper in CVS or another participating drug store, and frame it up for Dad on Father’s Day. Throw in a little gold box of Godiva truffles, and you’ve created a thoughtful gift with a little bit of affordable yet luxurious flair. You can grab a frame at any price range from CVS ($4.99) to Tiffany & Co and everywhere in between. Want to polish it up a bit with a touch of local luxury? Pop into local hot spot and traditional go-to gift shop Hoagland’s of Greenwich for a silver frame to bedazzle any daddy in town. Remember: it is the THOUGHT THAT COUNTS not the price tag. #GreenwichGirlPearls (of wisdom)
