Founder Lee Rhodes has hand selected 6 different gift sets, which can be ordered online, gift wrapped and sent directly to the couple anywhere in the United States. The gift sets are $120 (not including tax and shipping) and represent some of Lee’s favorite color combinations. Notes Rhodes, "Almost daily, I would receive calls from customers asking me to create color combinations for them. With gift sets, the online shopping and gift-giving experience is now even easier."
