I am making a gift for a friend for Christmas. On the card I would like to say, "Made with love and honor" because I do love her (platonic), and the gift I created is to honor her for all she has done for me recently.
Someone told me "love and honor" is reserved more for partners and spouses and this friend might get the wrong impression. I tend to think that is nonsense. What do you think?? |

Sounds like a beautiful thing to write to your friend. Personally, I would not write something like that to someone I had romantic interest in. I'll bet your homemade gift will be very much appreciated. |

I would probably word it a little differently but still say the same thing with your explanation....."made this gift from my heart to thank you in a very personal way for how hou have touched my life is such a meaningful way".... But then I'm known for using a lot of words to explain what I am feeling.
So many people get the wrong idea when we use the word "LOVE" that I tend to use other words that really say the same thing as the king of love that is felt but feel it better than leaving a place for misinterpretation depending on the friendship relationship you have....but thats just me after 62 years of living experience & challenges.

How about "Made with love and appreciation" instead? or just "Made with love" and then say 'thank you' in the note?

I should probably mention that I chose to use the word honor because the gift I have made for her is related to her cultural heritage, which she is very proud of. I essentially created this gift to honor her and her culture. |
