Crystal Rose Gift

Cleopatra and her romance with Mark Anthony, are legendary. One of the many gifts Cleopatra is said to have given him was a bathing room she had strewn with scented rose petals that reached depths of three feet. If you live in a part of the world where summers are short and winters are long, saving rose petals so as to replicate Cleopatra's extravagant sentiment may be difficult. A crystal rose gift or two, however, is another option that can be given at any time of the year no matter the weather.

If you happen to be a crafty person and enjoy making things with your hands, you do have the option of purchasing dried rose petals or even making them yourself, if you have not taken the time to save them from your garden for future use. Scent can be added to rose petals so as to replicate the actual fragrance of the real thing. There is certainly something to be said about a gift of rose petals that were cultivated by you, especially if they came from your own garden.

If you are at the other end of the spectrum and either never thought about collecting and drying your own rose petals, or, you have no interest in crafts at all, a crystal rose gift is the perfect option. Some of the crystal rose gifts available are simply stunning works of art, handcrafted by artisans who painstakingly carve every detail of the flower so as to ensure a unique and beautiful design. A crystal rose gift can also be purchased in brilliant color if you are looking to capture the realism of the flower itself. You will love the way a crystal rose gift of color catches the light – it is quite spectacular.

Finding a unique and thoughtful gift is no easy task. So much is dependant on who the recipient is and what message you are trying to send. Giving a crystal rose gift can be seen as the ultimate romantic gesture given it will forever symbolize the love you have for the person receiving it. The meaning in the gift you give is often more important than the actual gift itself and since roses typically symbolize love, you may want to consider the color of the crystal rose gift when making the decision to buy it. Red roses, for example, symbolize love, energy, passion, intensity, and excitement. In different parts of the world red means different things; red in China signifies prosperity and joy and as is the case, brides wear red wedding dresses; the color pink is a symbol of universal love. It is a quiet color, favored by lovers of beauty; blue is a cool color and when at its purest is represents sincerity, spirituality, and inspiration. Blue is also a calming color, making it a wonderful color to decorate with, especially for babies; purple, another popular crystal rose gift color, is a symbol of good judgement and those seeking spiritual fulfillment. Peace of mind will come your way if you surround yourself with purple.

No matter which color crystal rose gift you decide on, just know that the recipient will treasure it for years to come.
