Happy Mother's Day!

I saw this link on Entertain Exchange, and thought I'd re-post it it in honor of Mother's Day.

Such a cool site! Check it out!

Looks like its going to be made into a book.  Wouldn't this be a great baby shower gift? Or use it as a guest book for a shower, like I suggested here. 

Happy Mother's Day!

I am Loving: Personalized Wine Bottles

I am seriously in love with this website I recently discovered: Personal Wine.

It allows you to personalize the label on a bottle of wine. 

They have several cute label choices for different occasions where you can personalize the text. 

Here's my favorite Mother's Day choices: 

Or, you can use the site to design your own unique label.
I made a few quick ones to see how it worked.   So easy!

I made this one with the site's tools. 
(And yikes! it is coming up soon -- maybe I really will order this one!)

I made this one with a design program, and then uploaded it to the site. (Oh how badly I wish I was still poolside like in this photo...) 

The best thing is that the minimum order is just one bottle.  Bottles start as low as $20! 

I think this is such a fun and creative gift idea.  

Think of all the possibilities: hostess gifts, bridesmaid gifts, housewarming gifts, welcome baskets for a wedding, OR customize a bottle to match and event you are throwing! A picture of the couple on the champagne bottle at an engagement party? So cute! (Yes, they have champagne too!)

PS I am not being compensated to write about this website, I just think its great!

I am Loving: Scarf Wrapping

I love this idea! Instead of paper gift wrap: use a pretty scarf!

Perfect for Mother's Day, or bridesmaid gifts, or even a little hostess gift.

Not only will the recipient get a cool scarf out of the deal, but you'll feel good about being green! One less crumpled wrapping paper in the landfill...

I like the idea of using a blanket to wrap up a gift for a baby shower too. 

So sweet!
