© 2004-2011 Speakable Gifts |
Speakable Gifts believes in the family and this site is our
contribution to other efforts being made to support and enhance
families in the times in which we live. Our intention is to provide
inspirational and edifying gifts for families to give on various
occasions. Each of our gifts includes a spiritual message. Additionally,
we publish our own publications to this end, and also offer a few
quality publications by others who we feel have a common goal.
It is our sincere desire that people who visit will find something in
the resources we provide that will strengthen, inspire and motivate
their household, or that of their family and friends, to a more God
honoring walk with the Lord.
Ours is a family organization, owned by Maxine Randall and Beverly
Smith, a mother and daughter from their two separate households.
When Maxine founded this enterprise some years ago, her daughter
Beverly was a teenager and was a great help to her mom in getting
the business going. During the early years, when Speakable Gifts was
a gift basket business, Beverly often assisted with the design and
construction of the baskets and then when the business evolved into
inspirational gifts and publications, she often helped with various
aspects of that also, especially as she sometimes jokingly referred to
herself as “business manager.” Now, after starting her own home by
getting married and having children of her own, she has returned in
earnest as a partner.
Maxine is a wife, home schooling mom of a teen daughter ,and a
grandmother. Other than spending time with her family (especially
the granddaughters!), she finds her greatest enjoyment in writing
for young people. She also loves teaching Sunday school, feeding
and observing birds, reading Elizabeth Prentiss and J.C. Ryle, and old
movies. Her desire is that those who visit will find any purchases they
make to be inspiring and motivating to them or others, and that their
children who participate in any of the activities will be built up in
moral and spiritual character. Maxine wishes you all the blessings of
our great God and bountiful mercies in Him through our Savior,
Jesus. If you would like to email Maxine, you may do so at
