Over the weekend we visited the new apartment of a 23 year old friend. She had decorated it equal to designs on HGTV by shopping Craig's List. As she showed us favorite pieces, a couple were owl themed: a planter and salt & pepper shakers. Immediately, my mind went to "Owl things would make good gifts for her!" She quickly read my mind and said she'd made a pact with herself to have only one owl item per room so as not to clutter her apartment with knick-knacks.
I thought her mindset was a good one. Once we announce we are collecting something, we get an influx from well-meaning friends and family. Keep it simple. A few favorite pieces are enough.
