I recently bought one for my daughter, I think I got it on Amazon.

She's getting married in November and doesn't want a traditional shower, they have everything they want or need and don't want more stuff.

It's going to be a very small luncheon, no more than 20 people and will have A Home for the Holidays theme.

@elizabethl123, I saw this and bought it at my local Barnes & Noble. I bet it could be ordered from their website. I love this idea & I plan on getting a couple more!

I remember my grandmother and giving plates. They plates did not have the saying on them then. It was understood.The plates would be chosen by the owner to become giving plates. I remember going to events where people brought giving plates full of goodies. The events were often fund raisers to help others in need. At the end of the celebration all left with a different giving plate with treats they chose. On the back of the plate they journaled where the plate went. My grandmother felt very blessed when a plate returned to her and yet she was ready to send it on another journey.

My grandmother traveled around the sun many times so she ended up with a collection of giving plates. When some of her friends passed the plates often got sent to her. I loved it when I got to go to her house and pick the china to use. I always wanted the "giving " china because it was a variety of different plates. It was amazing that they were fine porcelain as well. I could read the names on the back of the plates and my grandmother would remember when the plate came to her and what was on it.

I don't think many people do it anymore. Thanks for reminding me of a memory?
