"What an awesome CD! It is very informative and practical... you can interject it into everyday life young or old... Thanks Marianne!" ~ Pennsylvania
Dear
Marianne, My wife and I just gave my daughter The Gift of Confidence as
soon as I received it and wanted you to know she loved it. I got a
real hug! - Pennsylvania
"It's been well over a year since I've given my daughter her Gift and I
can honestly say she still uses and picks her affirmation cards daily.
Such a great way for her to start or end her day, thank you." - New
Jersey
Dear Marianne, "My oldest daughter and I had such a wonderful and
touching experience when I presented her with The Gift last year. I'm SO
happy your product is still around, because my youngest is at the
perfect age and she keeps reminding me daily that she wants one too!" -
New York
"All I can say is [daughter] was simply enchanted with The Gift! Every
time a friend comes over, she shows them her Gift Series and they dive
into all the luxurious products. I really think this concept catapulted
her into cherishing the wonderful things about being a young Woman.
Thank you so much!" - PENNSYLVANIA
Dear
Marianne, "As a father I bought The Gift because it was something my
wife and I needed and wanted to do together for our 13 year old daughter
who's moods were changing by the minute! My wife texted me the other
day while I was at work, asking permission if she could give The Gift to
our daughter without me, as she knew the timing was perfect right at
that moment... Just had to tell you my wife said that it was the most bounding experience between the two of them and my daughter absolutely loved The Gift. Thank you." - New Jersey
"What
a beautiful gift you've created and my daughter thinks so too! Your
gift has allowed me to let her know I am here for her, thank you!" - NEW
JERSEY
"... we opened the first of our two boxes just 3 months ago and it was
lovely! You've put in a really nice selection of items, and all
beautifully packaged and presented; we particularly like the Comfort
Herbal Pillow, which is in regular use, and the smells as we opened all
the items were fab! In fact, the box by itself (without the goodies)
would make a good present, as it's well made - and the colours are just
gorgeous!" - CHESHIRE, ENGLAND
"When my daughter saw The Gift at your Mother/Daughter Workshop, she
wanted it immediately! Thanks for helping me sneak it behind her back
to give her a beautiful gift that she still keeps by her bedside. She
loves all the goodies in it and uses them regularly. Thanks Marianne! -
PENNSYLVANIA
Dear Marianne, I bought The Gift Series by RaeColeTM
because I thought it was the right thing to do for my 11yr. old
daughter for when she reaches maturity. I had no idea what a bond this
would create for us! Really, I have a memory that was so special for us
that will last a lifetime and I will always remember it. I think she
will too! Thanks so much for creating such a beautiful and sentimental
gift. - PENNSYLVANIA
"... that was the most awesome gift. [She] absolutely loved it! She had so
much fun looking at all the neat things. I'm going to save Marianne's card and
am sure I will be ordering from her in the future for [our] Hebrew school
classmates." - TEXAS
"Just
wanted you to know my daughter LOVED LOVED The Gift.
She has been using it everyday since I gave it to her last week. She
wanted to
be sure the products could be purchased separately once she ran out as
she is
enjoying them so much. She also asked me to call her friends mom's to
tell them
about it because her one friend feels uncomfortable talking to her mom
about
things and thought it would make conversation easier. I have to say
giving her The Gift just totally breaks down any walls that may be up.
We have had a number
of conversations since then. So happy to have met you and learn about
The Gift. I did refer [some friends] to you so hopefully you will
be hearing from them. We are definitely interested in the
mother/daughter workshop too." PENNSYLVANIA
"Last
week I went to a conference in Valley Forge. There was a table there
that said "GOT GIRLS?" Well yes I do, four of them! I bought two of
The Gifts Series, one for [my oldest] who has already come into
womanhood, and one for [my next oldest], who can't wait till it happens
to her.
I also got some things for Christmas. One item that I did get was a
shirt that I absolutely love; it has the four G's: Gorgeous, Gracious,
Gutzy and I am Goddess! So I am passing this on to all of my friends
who have girls. The Gift was a really nice experience to share this
with [my daughter] and she felt so special." PENNSYLVANIA
[My Granddaughter] loved The Gift, the first thing she did was heat up
the pillow and use it... she was very curious and interested in all. It
went over really well. Thank you." LOUISIANA
Dear
Marianne, "I saw your business card today and immediately upon arriving
home, had to find out what your site was about. Congratulations for
embracing the sentiments expressed in The Red Tent. We women must come
together to celebrate and support the beauty that is the Feminine. How
joyous that you are helping to convey a message of pride and wonder in
our daughters. Thank you for your intention." PENNSYLVANIA
"When my 11 year old daughter came to me and said that she had just
gotten her period, my first reaction was panic - I wasn't ready to
handle this! Then I literally breathed a sigh of relief as I remembered
that I had "The Gift" waiting! To me, it wasn't any item in particular
that stood out, but rather as we sat on the floor together, instead of
fumbling for the right words to say, we had this wonderful conversation
starter. We went through each item, pausing at some longer than
others. The most important part for us, by far, was that we were
TALKING. We shared this very special moment in her life and it
literally became a celebration. I'm just so happy we stumbled across
your "Gift" because I'm not sure how I would've handled a potentially
stressful situation without guidance!" PENNSYLVANIA
"I felt comfortable when my mom did this Gift
concept with me because I knew that she was really going to help me
through this and be there to support me. When I saw my mom's smile on
her face I knew that this was so much more than just a period." NEW

"I am not sure if you remember me, we met at the Mind Body Expo in K of P
in October. I bought a set of Positive Pick cards for a boy's youth
basketball team I coach. I promised you a follow up on how they worked
out. They worked really well for the team and it helped drive home the
message of personal development (both on AND off the court) and it
helped break things up in practice - each boy was given one card that he
had to talk about." PHILADELPHIA
Dear Marianne, "I just received The Gift Series and it's absolutely
gorgeous! Very well done. It definitely represents all the hard work
you put into creating it." SEATTLE, WA
[A Thank You card shared by a customer] - "Dear Aunt [customer], Thank
you SO much for the beautiful Gift! It is
gorgeous! I had fun looking at all the super cool items inside. :-)
I'm sorry you couldn't make it to my Bat Mitzvah, but I really hope to
see you all another time. Thanks again!" TEXAS

Dear Marianne, The Gift of Hope went over GREAT!!! It was a great "Pick
Me Up" for when Mom was feeling sick or sad. The heated pillow was
wonderful for her sore incision and relieved tension for all of us! I
cannot get over how great this gift is for so many ages and types of
Women. Thank you!!! NEW JERSEY
