  1. CIRCE | sər sē | an unexpected gift | In The South, a Circe has always been known as ‘an unexpected gift — a special surprise.’

    1. Hi Susan, thank you for this great piece of knowledge! I appreciate you sharing this with us!

  2. I am a big proponent of sursies and give them often.. They don’t even have to cost money. this, to me, is the best therapy for yourself. It makes you happy, and others happy.. That said, someone once told me that it made them uncomfortable, that they felt they needed to sursie back.. That isn’t how it works and I was sad for that person that that was how she perceived it. Sursies don’t require reciprocal sursies. But you will have the happy desire to give to someone else. Give and be thankful and enjoy every day! pay it forward

    1. Hi Becky! I absolutely agree with you in that it does not need to be reciprocated! I’m sorry this recipient felt that way…but I know a lot of people that don’t! 🙂 Sursies are sweet gifts from the heart, and you’re right, they don’t have to cost a penny. Home-made are the best! Thank you for your sweet comments and for stopping by!

    1. Hi Pami, there seem to be several of you from CC – what a small world! I hear that there was (is?) a surcie shop on campus – which I think is fantastic! Thanks for stopping by!

  3. Have used the word, surcie (that is how I always spell it), for years. First heard the word when at college in Raleigh, NC. And yes, I live in Columbia, South Carolina now. Most people look at me in a funny way when I use the word, surcie, to describe a small giftie. I think the word is quite beautiful.

    1. Hi Meredith, I agree in that the word itself is quite lovely! It’s perfectly unique…and usually I get the head cocked to one side, confused look when I use it! Thanks for your comment and for stopping by!
