The Big Romantic Gift: The Closet

A big laugh in the Sex and the City movie came when Carrie was asked should Big buy her a really big diamond, and she says what she really wants is “a really big closet."

The gift of a closet isn't a toaster: it's a life change. That’s why there's been been a surge in closets as gifts in our area, particularly celebrating key life events, for example, a big birthday, moving into a new home, having a baby, getting a promotion.

Clutter is a distraction from what’s important in life. The gift of an organized closet is not just shelves and hanging bars, it’s what it represents. A functional closet is a gift that gives more energy every single morning.

So, is an organized closet the perfect gift for you? Here are five clues:

#5 You travel for business.
Being able to see and grab coordinating outfits to throw into your travel bag will be a joy.

#4 You’re losing weight.
The thrill of weight loss is often accompanied by a downside: you can’t fit into any of your clothes. You deserve to celebrate by buying new things, but let's keep your new things nice by hanging them properly. That's a the final goody we provide with our awesome closet re-dos: we organize and re-hang your things after the closet's done.

#3 You always seem to be running late.
Tired of hearing frustrated sighs from your spouse downstairs, while the clock ticks well past the appointed hour of your friends’ dinner party? No doubt, you’re looking for the shoes -- you know you have them! -- which match the dress, and now where’s the purse and I know I had a strapless bra somewhere. It's not YOUR fault; it's your closet!

#2 You always seem to be wearing the same outfit.
You like that color or style and forgot you already have nearly the same outfit somewhere in your closet. Several of our clients have discovered four or five dresses or blouses so similar you couldn’t tell them apart. Worse, many still had tags attached!

#1 And the most obvious clue-- drumroll please -- the big pile.
Do you constantly have a heap on the chair in the bedroom or atop a dresser or amassed on a single hook in the closet or bathroom? That big pile doesn't mean you’re not organized, it’s saying you’re busy and need a closet to keep up with real life.

So, let someone know that a practical gift is the dreamiest gift for you. Give 'em my number and, on your next gift occasion, prepare to swoon!
