Happy Halloween

I know....I know.....Christmas yesterday and Halloween today. It's a bit backwards....I completely agree. I have to get a jump on some things and that includes the 12 days of Christmas club. Here is a simple little favor idea that I put together for Lily's class.

*Note: I would put the word poison under the skull and crossbones instead of Happy Halloween if these weren't for school.

12 Days of Christmas Club

Announcing the 12 Days of Christmas Club. Buy the 12 days of Christmas for anyone you choose. We'll send them 12 little gifts...12 marvelous surprises. Their package of packages will arrive in time for the first gift to be opened on December 13. Each one individually wrapped and numbered with a tag on it that says "do not open until" and a date. There will also be a note inside telling them who sent them this amazing gift of gifts. This thoughtful countdown to Christmas will have them slowing down and appreciating the season each day as they open another package. That magical time of year when you can hardly wait to tear into a present....and now they don't have to! Available in versions for adults, boys, or girls. $72 for 12 surprise gifts....includes shipping. It's the gift that just keeps on giving. They certainly won't forget what you got them for Christmas this year! available here


If you want to keep them waiting by their mailbox all year long, you'll want to see our Marvel of the Month Club. available here

Editor's Note: Contrary to much popular belief, the 12 days of Christmas are actually from Christmas until the beginning of Epiphany (January 6th; the 12 days count from December 25th until January 5th). We want our countdown to begin the 12 days before to increase the excitement.

Warm hugs

Fall has arrived in Florida. Waking up to temperatures in the 40's had me quickly thinking about scarves.

Write on the tag...."a hug from me".

This lovely scarf available here

Gift of Gab

Today's quote seems to be written with thank you notes in mind. Add to the tag, "it's always good to be prepared."

Thank you notes by sea. For more information inquire by email.

in a dark mood...

I know that today is Monday so that means Gift of Gab, but since Halloween is Friday, I wanted to let you all know that we have reduced our black Halloween candelabras even further. They are now only $15. That is almost 70% off. We only have a handful left, but we want to be sure they are all in haunted manors come Friday. So, as we stated earlier......If you are going to a Halloween party this candelabra would make a festive hostess gift. Put on the gift tag, "couldn't be happier about your dark mood". Available here...

Be back tomorrow with Gift of Gab.

you, too, can be immortalized

While we are on the subject of baby gifts, I wanted to introduce you to a gift that has staying power. When they are a baby, it looks like personalized art on the shelf. When they are old enough to play with them, they are one of the cutest well designed toys in the house. When they are past playing with them, it goes back on the shelf or even graduates to the mantle. I love the concept behind this gift. It takes an old favorite and vastly improves on it by adding some timelessness, personalized design, and environmental friendliness. A custom tailored family by goosegrease is such a welcome departure from plastic toys.

put on the gift tag......."Everyone knows having a baby immortalizes you."

sleep like a baby

Here's the scenario.....

Your friend or say maybe your sister-in-law is having a baby. You don't have children yet, so besides for a very cute little outfit, you just aren't sure what to get. With the new discoveries of unsafe plastics, baby bottles from the green to grow line are a welcome safe alternative. I'm always a fan of an item that not only solves a problem in a responsible way, but is cute to boot. You could even include a baby blanket and since the bottles are bisphenol A-free, phthalate-free, and worry free you could borrow their line for the gift tag......"Now the whole family can sleep like a baby."
