The Happy Hippie

What do you give them as a gift?

Face with Question Mark

I have a couple of people in my life who were real flower children and continue to live most of their life the way they did during the hippie era. So the problem is they don't want your regular type of gift. They want items that are a little different than what you would find at the local stores. We'll start out with a guidebook.

A guidebook to the second sixties. This could be very useful to those hippies that are going to relocate to the sunshine state.
