Whenever anyone considers the line
knowing me, knowing you, there may well be a desire to add ah-haa as a suffix.
Irrespective of whether or not we actually like the music of Abba, it is impossible
to ignore the impact they still have on our cultural landscape - despite
splitting up more than 20 years ago and that their songs perhaps exist as
personalised gifts from the band to us all.



Indeed, if this was not the case, surely Mamma Mia! The Movie would not be such
a resounding success? Based upon the 1999 West End
musical of the same name naturally, minus the 'The Movie' suffix Mamma Mia! The
Movie is a tale revolves around a number of Abba's greatest hits, with a few
more amazing tracks by Benny Andersson of Abba fame, thrown in for good
measure.



Sadly though, the song Knowing Me, Knowing You doesn't feature fully in the
film, which is a shame as it's packed full of sentiments that we can all learn
from. Essentially, although the song is about a relationship breaking down -
which is always a terrible thing - but there are many lyrics within the track
which could be used to represent the importance of really making we know and
understand those closest to us something that can be aided by the giving of
personalised gifts. However, even when two people are likeminded and it doesn't
matter whether they are friends, or something more - there can often be times
when the ah-haa moment in the gift-giving process doesn't come without a little
prior research.



personalised gifts
can come in many different shapes and sizes. In addition to calendars and mugs,
personalised gifts can also be engraved, and they can also be of a more unusual
variety. For example, chocoholics may wish to consider opting for a
personalised calendar for her, or maybe even a gold engraved My Last Rolo after
all, what personalised gift represents such a great expression of love and
commitment as a delicious chocolate?



Lovers of fine tea may wish to consider a Bespoke Blend of Personalised Tea.
Created by a master tea blender, this type of brew is crafted specifically to
reflect the likes, dislikes and hobbies of the recipient; the correct combination
of flavours crucially depends upon the giver really knowing the person they're
buying for. A great personalised gift for truly likeminded people.



But, perhaps because Knowing Me, Knowing You is a song about a failed
relationship, there may well be other Abba songs that can inspire us to
purchase amazing personalised gifts
for those to whom we are most alike? After all, like the song Under Attack,
Knowing Me, Knowing You was relegated to an instrumental piece within the film.
Indeed, Souper Trouper - one of Abba's most famous songs - speaks of
reinvigoration and renewal because of a special person in the audience. Indeed,
as the foursome so eloquently wrote in this song's lyrics: But I won't feel
blue cause somewhere in the crowd there's you.



Written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, the song started life with the
title Blinka Lilla Stjarna the words translate as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
and marked the band's ninth and final spot at number one in the UK charts. The
song was also popular in a number of other countries, including West Germany, Norway,
Switzerland and Austria, but failed to achieve the same level of
success in the US.
In 1999, Souper Trouper was even covered by A*Teens, a pop group from Sweden;
although this is not the first time the song has been covered.



However, perhaps because all of Abba's former members were together for the
Swedish premiere of Mamma Mia! The Movie for the first time since 1986 perhaps
more of the band's work can be considered as inspirational pieces for the
emotions that lie behind likeminded people buying personalised gifts. After
all, even the most heart-felt of purchases require Money, Money, Money, and
those who eagerly anticipate getting their hands on their goodies from their
Honey Honey? - may well be thinking Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
