Elf on the Shelf!

Have you heard about the Elf on the Shelf?

It is one of the most popular items in the store right now and it is the greatest tradition. The gift set comes with your very own elf and the story behind him. Basically the elf serves as the go-between your house and Santa and keeps tabs on who is "naughty or nice". One of the best stories I have heard so far is a family was out enjoying a stroll the other night and the children were getting a little out of hand.

All of a sudden they looked in the store window and saw their elf "Max" and were on their best behavior! I can't wait to make this part of my annual holiday festivities!

Tis' the Season for Cookie Jars!

I am so excited for the Oh Sugar! personalized cookie jars I am getting for all of the hostess gifts, teachers presents and family gifts we are giving this year. I was able to pick out cute red and green polka dot ribbon and personalize a greeting from my family on a penguin sticker (our mascot this year!) ~ and the best part about it is the Nam's Bits chocolate chip cookies are so yummy, I am sure they will be a hit!

Oh Baby!!

These quilts are two gifts in one! Lay it on the floor for some all-important "tummy time" with the various textures and adornments, or wrap up your little one so they are "snug as a bug"...either way, they are scrumptious! (And yes-- we have an adorable blue quilt with frogs for your prince.)

We have plenty of pre-packaged gift sets that are perfect for a baby shower or that first visit to the hospital!

These little guys are too cute!

Did I catch you smiling?

Be a Star!!

This summer, we have the perfect collection of summertime jewelry. Honestly, the first time these came into the store, they never made it onto the floor because our team (the Patchettes) purchased all but 1 or 2 of these pieces! Beyond the colorful bracelets, we have a glittery collection of starfish bobbles for your ears.

Even if you're not Ariel from the famous Disney show, The Little Mermaid (at least it's pretty popular in our household), these freshwater pearl bracelets are a perfect way to update your wardrobe.

Surely you've heard that story about the kid walking along the beach that throws all the starfish back into the sea, even though he can't possibly get to all of them before they die? (if not, read the whole story here.)

This summer, give one of these stars to your someone special and enclose a note that says "it matters to me."
