Silly Gifts - The gift of silliness!
The meaning of the word silly has changed over the centuries. It used
to mean harmless, innocent, inoffensive, lacking malice or airs. We
prefer that meaning to the more recent derogatory uses as there are
plenty of negative words already... and no other word that does quite as
well as silly and silliness.
Silliness encourages:
creativity, abstract thought, flexibility, laughter,
wellbeing, positive thinking, energy, trust
Silliness is an antidote for:
stress, pomposity, pretentiousness, self-importance,
self-absorption, embarrassment, fear, anger, negativity
Sharing silliness encourages:
laughter, friendship, trust, confidence
Silly gifts have always been part of any celebration for us. On this
site we've pulled together some that take our fancy - gifts we think
will encourage silly goings-on and messing around with lots of laughs
and giggles.
