Pt 1 to those who say "I never give my hair stylist a gift" educate yourselves in the etiquette of people who regularly provide you services (don't forget your lawn man unless you use a large company with many employees and you don't have a regular person). Pt 2 You heard longing in her voice. That suggests no one has ever given her a handmade gift. If you would consider giving away one of your quilts to a cause that would pass it on to a stranger then I would give her one. You can add a note or tell her in person "I don't normally give large gifts to people I do business with, but my heart kept telling me you and your daughter will have some great times together snuggling under this so I want you to have it and enjoy some special time together." let's her know it won't be an every year thing, but that You are recognizing her & her daughter as special this year.
