Gift Suggestions


Still trying to figure out a gift for Aunt Mary or for another family member or friend? Well I guarantee they will love to have a fountain. There are many to choose from. There are fountains that sit on a table/desk, on a wall (they can be used inside or out) and standing fountains (also can be used inside or outside).


Water fountains – bring the soothing sounds of flowing water into the home, but they also bring a visual element. Not only are water fountains beautifully designed and able to complement just about any existing home decor, the water itself lends another dimension of stress relief to the equation. Watching the dance and trickle of water as it flows across rocks, down textured surfaces, and into a basin at the bottom enhances our auditory experience. When we listen to sound machines or audio recordings of nature sounds, we may feel the need to close our eyes to block out visual distractions around us that take our minds away from the goal of relaxation. In contrast, the visual attributes of water fountains bring us closer to that goal by giving us something beautiful and elemental to focus on with our eyes as we listen with our ears.

Water Fountains


The sounds of gently flowing water or the splashing sounds of cascading water not only are fascinating to watch, but are great tools for destressing. Today we are all faced with a great deal of stress with the economy in a slump, gas prices, hours cut, etc. We would all benefit from a little destressing. Fountains are a great way to do just that!

Abstract Artifact Table Fountain


Inspired by the abstract artifacts found in the nation's foremost modern-art museums, the sleek lines and simple shapes lend distinction to this magnificent water sculpture. Cascading water gets extra sparkle when backlit by the light in the lip of the spout; faux-stone finish exactly resembles hand-hewn granite. Impressive and sophisticated!
