Words i wish we had

Mood: Frustrated and stumped for ideas on a project HELP!
Song: American pie By Don McLean
Color: Emerald Green with flecks of Brown

Okay so i'm working on this fun secret santa thing i'm doing this month all the way through December and your supposed to send cards and letters to this person and a gift closer to December and i've sent two letters (well 1 sent and the other ready to send but not sent yet.)
but i want to send like 4, 5, maybe six letters or cards and right now i'm running out of ideas of things i could say or send, cute things ect.
So if your reading this send me ideas...
and i'm not talking about secret santa gifts i mean cool creative things you can send in an envelope.
Cool letter ideas? small art type things? Ready? Set? Go! send me some suggestions :)

Anyway because i'm frustrated by my lack of inspiration in that area i decided to try to spark some inspiration in other areas...
so this entry i think is really cool cause it's going to be about some words i wish we had in the English language that they have in some other languages.
These words are cool or beautiful and some describe perfectly some things that i feel that there isn't a proper English word for or the English word seems to fall flat.
