Show You Care with Surcees!

I absolutely love gift giving—whether it’s for a special occasion or just because. Letting someone know you care with a thoughtful gift is the best feeling. Growing up in the South, we have our own special spin on it. My mom introduced the term “surcee” to my brother and me growing up in South Carolina, and it has always stuck with me. 

“There is a rich tradition of hospitality in the South. One tradition is that of the surcee—a small, unexpected gift with no occasion in mind. The surcee, a word that traces its roots back to Ireland and Scotland, means “surprise” or “just because”. In the south, a surcee is a way of expressing love and thoughtfulness. These small gifts are a way of saying “I’m thinking of you!” 

A surcee is typically a small gift, but it could be an act of kindness. I  hope you can show appreciation for someone “just because” today.
