Shoppers seeking gifts that inspire lasting appreciation are in luck this holiday season: the new Kobbi® Stones Second Edition Series gift sets have made their debut on www.kobbi.com and will soon be available at select retail locations across the Northwest.

Portland, Oregon (PRWEB) November 8, 2006 –- Shoppers seeking gifts that inspire lasting appreciation are in luck this holiday season: the new Kobbi® Stones Second Edition Series gift sets have made their debut on www.kobbi.com and will soon be available at select retail and boutique locations across the Northwest.

"Kobbi is based on the simple truth that when we are thankful, we are fulfilled," says Laura Graham, Kobbi creator and thankful living expert. "The Kobbi Stones Second Edition Series expands our options for creating a habit of thankfulness – a way of being that reflects a personal decision to incorporate appreciation into our daily lives. Using the stones as reminders to appreciate the gifts in our lives is one of the ways we can reconnect daily with the power of thankful living."

The three new Kobbi® Stones Second Edition Series gift sets – Connection I, Expression, and Inspiration – each feature three polished Asian river stones etched with a specific Kobbi® symbol: Friendship, Intimacy, and Pet (Connection I); Creativity, Vocation, and Emotions (Expression); and Enrichment, Nature, and Spirituality (Inspiration).

Wherever they appear, the 25 Kobbi symbols help us cultivate the benefits of thankfulness by inspiring our reflection as we ask ourselves, "What am I thankful for today?"

Judy H. was thrilled to receive one of the first available Second Edition Series gift sets. "Today I am thankful for the Inspiration Series of Kobbi Stones I received for my 60th birthday," says Judy. "They are from my dear friend Linda…these are beautiful. Thank you."

Kobbi creator Laura Graham personally debuted the new Second Edition Series for the first time at the Northwest Women's Show (October 22-24) where she spoke to Portland area women about the benefits of thankful living. In addition to the three new Second Edition Series sets, the show's thousands of attendees could also explore other artful Kobbi tools for cultivating a habit of appreciation such as Kobbi stationery and the Kobbi Foundation Series, the original Kobbi Stones gift set and the core of the entire Kobbi Stones collection. The Foundation Series features the five Kobbi Stones that help us experience deep appreciation for some of the most fundamental, yet sometimes most easily overlooked, aspects of life: Home, Family, Health, Freedom, and Nourishment.

Kobbi fans enjoy their Kobbi stones in many creative ways. The stones are displayed in vases and water fountains, used in centerpieces and place settings, and carried in purses, pockets, and backpacks.
