These wonderful products (t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, posters, framed prints, tote bags, greeting cards and buttons) supply positive images and messages that show a deep concern for others. They encourage the concept and attitude of giving the gift of ourselves. They teach us the value of taking actions and steps towards helping people. We hope that through these designs and messages, you will discover new ways to help yourself and others.

This web site is dedicated to the memory of Howard Evan Weintraub who created the designs for "My Gift is Inside" and who believed that the best gift we can give anyone is a gift of ourselves.

Accepting Others Acceptance is so often conditional on outward appearances. This design and accompanying messages encourage us to look at people’s hearts instead.	Be Yourself Acceptance is so often conditional on meeting the expectations of others. This design and accompanying message remind us of the importance of being true to ourselves.	Becoming One You can enjoy the bliss of becoming a complete person by accepting all the parts of your character that make up the person who is uniquely you.
Calendars	Change Patterns While there is nothing quite so comfortable as an old rut, it is also a place where our development as a complete person stalls. So maybe it’s time to step out of old patterns.	Creating Your Path Everyone wants to give us advice. Some is very good while others is very bad. This design reminds us of the importance of carefully choosing who we listen to, but always making our own decisions.
Emotional Garbage We have all experienced the negative feelings generated by daily events. Dwelling on them can make us angry and depressed. Just talking with a trusted friend can lift that weight and lighten our day.	Emotional Release Many times we hide our true feelings in order to be accepted. This design and accompanying messages remind us that we need to give voice to our true feelings in order to reach our full potential.	Everyone Counts Society often seems to indicate that a few special people are important and the rest of us don’t count. This design and accompanying messages remind us that everyone counts!
Extraordinary You Many of us find ourselves in what society considers ordinary jobs. This design and accompanying messages remind us that as we apply our talents and abilities, we create extra-ordinary results.	Finding Yourself Far too often we think that we are not acceptable because there is nothing special about us. This design and accompanying messages remind us that inside each of us is a special person.	Fixing Problems Everyone faces problems, and they often seem too big to handle. With commitment and effort, we can actually resolve most problems. A little encouragement and support is often all the help needed.
Friend - All-weather What more could anyone ask than to have a true friend who stands by your side in times of trouble?	Friend - Helpful Think you can always do it yourself? The day will come when you can’t. Consider asking a friend for help and support.	Happiness - Catch We sometimes think that happiness can be found in places, things or activities. This design and accompanying messages remind us that lasting happiness and contentment can only be found within us.
Happiness - Find Sometimes it seems tempting to try to find lasting happiness on a vacation or at a special event. That works for awhile, but eventually we have to find happiness exactly where we are.	Hope We all face difficulties, and friends can ease the load. This design and accompanying messages remind us of the importance of friends who can support and encourage us.	Life - Celebrate There are times just for fun. There are many other times when we need to be very serious. Even during those serious times, it is still important to find ways to celebrate and enjoy life.
Life - Curves When life doesn’t go quite as we planned, we assume the unplanned result is bad. What if it’s better? Why not try riding the change to see where it takes us. It might be interesting and exciting.	Life - Pieces Rather than matching simple stereotypes, our lives are filled with a rich diversity that defies categorization. The message to each of us is to enjoy the complexity of our lives.	Life - Pressures Dealing with peer pressure, unprotected sex, violent behavior, lying & cheating and drugs & alcohol make life today risky. We need to be careful where we step.
Love on a Limb Loving another person is not a risk-free adventure. We can’t play it safe and expect to win the heart of another. We need to be willing to go out on a limb to obtain that desired relationship.	Love See Want to see goodness? Try seeing with your heart instead of just your head!	Love Shapes While the “Beautiful People” may get all of the press coverage, true love often seems to escape them. Beautiful exteriors often mask not so beautiful interiors. True love comes in all shapes and sizes
Love Soak Soaking up love is a wonderful experience. There is so much love in the world, and it is available for all of us to enjoy. We just have to open our hearts to receive it.	Love Sprinkle For all our sophistication and technological advancement, we sometimes forget that what the world needs most is for each of us to sprinkle a bit of love wherever we go.	Loving Eyes What is your view of the world? Do you see the problems and become pessimistic? Do you focus on the good things and become optimistic? Can you see the world through loving eyes?
My Gift Is Inside We all have special gifts within ourselves that can really help others we care about in their time of need. Acceptance, compassion, encouragement and support make a wonderful gift.	OK to be Different Instead of trying to fit in by looking and acting like everyone else, accept your differences. Go beyond mere acceptance and celebrate and embrace them.	Peaceful/Contented Want to get away? Want to find peace and contentment on a desert island? Nice idea, but it doesn’t work. Need to achieve balance in our daily lives in order to be at peace.
Pull Your Strings Everyone has an idea of how we should act and what we should do. Many try to make us feel guilty if we don’t do it their way. This design reminds us how foolish it is to let others direct our lives.	Sad and alone There are times when each of us feels alone and sad. Rather than trying to work out of it ourselves, a good friend can often ease the burden just by talking.	Special Shirts
Words Hurt The old saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me,” is so wrong. The emotional impact of words is much greater than the physical impact of sticks.	Howard's Specials
