Christmas Time

It's my favorite time of the year!! Time to decorate, listen to Christmas songs, go shopping, bake cookies and did I mention decorate!

Stay tuned over the next few weeks for ideas on decorating, cookie exchange, tree toppers, shopping tips and maybe even some entertaining ideas.

BravoBride

Kuddos goes out to Linnyette Richardson-Hall of Premier Event Management for letting me know about BravoBride.

This is a great resource for Newlyweds to sell some of their wedding items they no longer need and for Brides and Grooms to pick up items they need for their big event (and save money). Its a marketplace full of all types of wedding items - books, gowns, earrings, ring bearer pillow and favors etc. (There are even engagement rings on there!)
A portion of the proceeds go to American Heart Association's Go Red for Women Campaign.

I think this is a great idea - there are so many couples that have left over planning books, favors or a bride that wants to sell her wedding gown. Why not let other couples take advantage and save some money.

I just listed some brown paper gift bags on there - perfect for out of towners hotel bags - lets see what happens.

More Gift Ideas

Looking for some good sales - check out www.smartbargains.com - they have major brand names for less; sometimes 60% less.

I found my best friend the Lenox serving dish - half off. They have a search tool and bargains of the day.

Check it out!

I love my Sharpie!

So I have a small obsession with sharpie markers - I love the colors, the different size tips etc. I use them for my calendar, notes - you name it.
I was thrilled when I learned from Jane at Simply Exquisite Events that you can now personalize them!
Check it out:

Personalize Your Sharpie

You can pick your color, motif and font.

Sign Your Name!

I have been working on a clients wedding shower and the MOH asked me to find something fun for the guest book or sign in sheet.
I just love a signature plate - the guests write on the plate and it becomes a nice keepsake.

Check out:
Say Anything Ceramics

They have different size and shape plates ranging from $85.

Last minute gift ideas

For your concert going buddy- I got this idea from Uncommon Goods - they are sold out but you can make your own version. Ticket Stub Frame - Buy a frame and put pictures of you and your friend at the event with a space for him/her to add the tix stub.

For your movie loving buddy-
Popcorn Goodies - Run out to the nearest Target and get the Whirly Pop popcorn kit for $27 and then stop by Blockbuster for a gift card for movie rentals.

One more thing to add to your aunts present - how about a chocolate brown faux fur throw - also from Target $19.99
Looking for something a little extra to add to anyones gift - check out Blue Tulip.
Online orders must be received by Wed but there are various stores around the area. Red velvet picture frames or even a chip and dip bowl.

And if you really don't know what to get for your godparents - glass snowflake ornaments. www.gumps.com
