New Compliments Gifts Offer Uplifting Messages in Down-spirited Economy

LITTLETON, CO, November 23, 2011 (Press-News.org) Author, mompreneur and America's complimentologist Monica Strobel announces the new Gratulari line of Compliments Gifts including Compliments Charm Necklaces and Compliment A Day inspirational cards gift sets. Meaning "to wish joy" from the root of congratulations, these new Gratulari gift items convey appreciation, recognition, encouragement and esteem, all wrapped up in simple compliment messages.

Mothers everywhere are concerned that their daughters know and grow their self-worth. Gratulari Compliments Charm Necklaces are a delightful way to remind them--and friends, sisters, co-workers or mom--how appreciated they are with affirming messages on eye-catching jewelry they"ll love to wear.

"The Compliments Charm Necklaces are more than simple presents. These uplifting gifts make everyone feel recognized and special when they're opened and offer an inspiring, loving reminder when worn," Strobel said.

The Gratulari Compliments Charm Necklace line features more than 16 different two-sided, silver-plated charms with a compliment phrase on one side, including you are Beautiful, you are Amazing, you are Brilliant, and designs on the other side in bold, classic, playful and ethnic styles.

"A compliment has the power to influence the outcome of a child's work, enlist a spouse's
cooperation, uplift a stressed-out friend or even inspire a co-worker to shoulder their responsibility. Yet many people overlook and underestimate how powerful a few, generous words can be," Strobel said.

Other Gratulari items include the Compliment A Day gift set of 30 colorfully designed compliment cards with display stand to showcase each day's compliment message next to a computer, on a kitchen counter or desk, offering an uplifting boost of appreciation. Also available are Compliments to You Notecards and the book, The Compliment Quotient, Boost Your Spirits, Spark Your Relationships and Uplift the World.

Ranging from $12.95 to $17.95, these gifts will keep budget-savvy shoppers' spirits high, too.

In her book, The Compliment Quotient, Strobel details why and how to harness the powers of giving compliments for more happiness and success. "One of our deepest desires is for appreciation. Yet in what seems to be a growing culture of callousness, people often spend more time focused on each others' weak spots instead of their sweet spots,"Strobel said.

According to the author, giving compliments is a proven way to boost our own spirits, too, as seeing the positive and commenting on it unleashes all of the powers of appreciation that she details in the book. For example, praising someone allows us to refocus on what's working rather than be carried away with what's not working.
