Personalized Furniture Refinishing Kit

Over the years, our customers have given our personalized furniture refinishing kits for a variety of occasions birthdays and Christmas gifts to housewarming, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day gifts. I may be wrong but this order was our first for a retirement gift and I thought as I was wrapping it to ship, what a perfect gift for someone about to start a new chapter in their life.

When I think of all of the things I had on my to do list prior to retiring from my former full time job, refinishing furniture was on the top 20 of that list. It’s not so much that it is hard to do, it just takes time and patience to get it done correctly. When one is working full time, it is easy to rationalize putting a project like that off because it’s hard to carve out a length of time one can devote to working with wood.

In addition to personalizing the kind of Howard RestorAFinish added to this gift set, I added another special treat that the recipient can enjoy separate of the furniture refinishing kit. Imagining how the gift recipient would feel getting this furniture refinishing kit as a retirement gift and what it represents, I added a little jar of Bluebird Gardens honey to enjoy with her cup of tea as she sits back and admires the finished furniture project. Or contemplates what she wants to do with the project before she starts but realizes she doesn’t have to rush getting into it.

Either way, that’s what I like to do!
