Big things come in small boxes...

Or no box at all!
Yesterday, one of our managers introduced me to a new client and we had a small chat. Our talk led to gold jewellery collection and I noticed she was wearing a pandora bracelet too. And out of the blue, she took out a pair of earrings from her bag and gave it to me! And she apologised not having it in a box.
She had no plan of giving anything to me but at the spur of the moment she just suddenly decided to give me her own pair of Pandora earrings with cubic zirconia stones. It may be cheaper than gold but Pandora doesn't come cheap too!
I was so surprised how someone could be that generous to another they have met only for the first time. I guess she really liked the way I explained things and she was happy about that.
Have you received any unexpected gift recently?

I know. I have a collection of my own. I've been a pandora fan for four years now.

@thelme55 You should get the bracelet, there are several types and you can add the charms that has represent something in your life as a reminder. I have collected a lot of charms over the years which has significant meanings in my life. Just looking at them give me good memories.

There are a lot of fake ones on facebook. Try to go to pandora's website instead.

I have. She told me I could use it or sell it. Since I needed the money I sold it and gave the money to my wife. It was unbelievable that she could decide to give it to me.

I think I read that discussion about that and you didn't tell your wife you received something.

@infatuatedbby For the past few months I've been with friends who are very very kind and I learned that we don't really have to be rich to be generous. So I've been practicing kindness and generosity since then and I am receiving the same thing in return.

I like Pandora a lot too. That's why I was really very happy when she handed me the earrings.

@toniganzon The title reminds me of my talkative high school teacher (a frater) - - He kept reminding us - "Always do little things so shall big things come to you sooner than later!" I had and still have no idea where he got that quotation (if it is a quotation). Well, I experimented it with my second girlfriend when I was wooing her. I walked her home from school every school day. Visited her on weekends. I made her laughed. Wrote her love letters and love-verses. Helped her doing her homeworks. And so on and so forth - - I eventually got the big thing . . .

I have a collection of charms for my bracelet. I also have a few pair of earrings too. I love pandora but these days I'm into collecting diamond jewelries. Pandora only uses cubic zirconia.

@DianneN So true. I have not seen a gold pandora here with diamond. All are just cubic zirconia.
Here's my recent collection of a diamond ring.

@toniganzon My gold Pandora has real diamonds. I don't think my silver has any at all. I rarely wear them anymore. Go for the diamonds! They're a girl's best friend. lol

no, but i like your discussion about generosity. usually the first meeting and acquaintance will leave the 2 persons checking on each other. but i believe you exuded the humility and simplicity that was why you were given that gift.
