Indoor & Outdoor Fountains - Fantastic Gift Ideas!
By Caroline Smith
A water fountain makes a unique gift idea. If you're stuck for ideas for presents this Christmas, then you'll find there are loads of different styles of fountains available, to suit all tastes and budgets. From a desktop fountain for a stressed-out office worker to a pretty bird bath garden fountain for a nature lover, there's something for all the family.
Water fountains have a number of benefits. The sight of cascading water is obviously visually pleasing, and the sound of gently trickling water is naturally soothing. This combined effect is brilliant for helping to create an atmosphere of calm and serenity in any setting. For instance, in a small town garden, an outdoor fountain can help to mask the background noise of traffic and help transform a backyard or patio into a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the world outside
Indoor fountains are also renowned for their beneficial effects on mind, body and soul. The air in modern buildings has a tendency to be dry, from the effects of central heating and air conditioning. An indoor water fountain can help combat this by acting as a natural humidifier. Moving water can also help reduce air pollution by releasing negative ions into the atmosphere.
If you're thinking of buying a fountain as a gift, consider the personality and interests of the person you'll be giving it to. Fountains come in all kinds of sizes and styles. For instance, a classical themed stone wall fountain could be ideal for someone with a bare patio wall that is in need of new look. A copper solar powered pond fountain is another good idea for a keen gardener. For someone who has contemporary themed décor in their home, a glass tabletop fountain that cascades onto polished pebbles, could be perfect.
Whoever you are shopping for, a decorative water fountain is sure to be warmly received and appreciated.
