Our Family's Personalized Christmas Wrappers from MINTED

I'm so happy! All my Christmas wrappers that I have ordered from Minted arrived few days ago and it completes my "wrapping sessions" for gifts to bring home this Christmas and some to put under the tree here. I have made 2 separate orders because I didn't realise that I would be needing more wrapping papers especially after we've done our shopping. There's a lot to wrap and our style is to personalize the wrappers to show our personalities too, our favourite family photos and of course, to make the recipient feel so special.

Here are snaps of our personalized Christmas wrappers. I chose simple designs that I can include photos and they look so pretty! I'm glad I ordered because I can put our photos from our recent trips during winter and include in the family photos our little diva dog's too.

Why personalize? Well, it's a person to person thing and we prefer it that way. We love personalizing stuff and this is one way. Aside from the wrappers, I am also sending out personalised Christmas cards so this year is all about personalization!

I love personalizing stuff and that goes to wrapping gifts as well. There's this wonderful thing that says "you're very special" when you use personalized stuff and that is exactly how I want the recipients to feel when they receive our gifts.

I was so thrilled when my personalized orders from Minted came in the mail last week before I left for my vacation. They are lovely!

I ordered my personalized Christmas wrappers, gift tags and matching stickers from Minted. I really love their designs and the quality of paper they used. I got to design the wrappers using their template in the site and I am amazed how the designs came out!

Baby And Infant Blankets

Every new baby needs to have his/her baby blanket. There are various options available since the blankets come in various colors, prices, brands, textures and sizes. You can even choose baby blankets that are crocheted in some cases. These are used in most cases to cover the baby while sleeping but it is also possible to use them as throws, wraps or mats to be able to wrap the newborn.

One thing that you may not know is that the baby usually becomes attached to the blankets. 

According to The Stripy Company, the baby’s blanket has to be carefully chosen because of this main reason. Every single parent needs to choose carefully so the blanket has to be practical, really easy to wash, last a long time and be of a very high quality. Make sure that you always conduct a very good research before you will buy your baby blanket instead of just purchasing the first cheap one you find.

Diversity Is Huge

If you take a look at stores that are specialized in baby products, you will instantly notice a huge diversity. There are baby blankets that have feet. Also, we have various ways to attach the blanket to the baby when sleeping. The one with feet is perfect for a baby that you take with you to different destinations.

We also have swaddling baby blankets that can calm a fussy baby, help him to sleep faster. Sleep is longer and there is a reduced incident of colic. Even breastfeeding is aided. Babies are not going to accidentally scratch their faces and these are just some of the advantages of these baby blankets.

The baby blankets available on the market at the moment are built in order to help the newborns to not have risks associated with sleeping on their belies. That is a necessity since babies need to sleep on the side or on the back.

Swaddling Blankets

Special attention needs to be put on swaddling blankets because of the fact mentioned above. A baby that sleeps on his back is much less susceptible to SIDS risk. SIDS stands for sudden infant death and is quite a problem as it can appear when babies sleep in an inappropriate position. For many babies night sleep is quite difficult so the purchase of such a baby blanket is a really good idea.

Personalized Baby Blankets

The popularity of personalized baby blankets is growing at the moment and it is really easy to understand why since they are 100% unique and will make a statement about the feelings of the giver. You need to consider this option in the event you want to offer a baby gift to an expecting couple. The heirloom will be much more appreciated, even if the personalization just means adding the name of the baby. Nowadays you can personalize the blankets in many different ways so keep your eyes open for that.

As you can see, baby blankets are definitely interesting and have to be considered. They are of great help and will also look great.

I just received another fabulous treat from my favourite Minted.com - $50 worth of their Minted goodies as part of the Welcome Summer + Bonus offer they have for affiliate members. And I love the fact that I am very happy to offer their products and show them around to my family and friends because I am a very satisfied customer.

This time, my daughter and I went all the way with notebooks and journals plus 1 gift tag for my family to use. My daughter had her notebooks printed with photos of her friends and classmates which she will ask them to sign just in time for her graduation. The notebooks she ordered are cute with fresh and youthful designs that really speak of her personality and joie de vivre!

And of course, would mommy let this pass without getting herself a very nice travel journal for the family's outing? No siree! I also took the liberty of choosing a very nice journal with spiral bind to document our plans, budget for travel and the travel itself.

I received the packages in 2 parts. The first parcel was the 3 journals and the 2nd parcel was the cards and they were placed inside a special Minted.com box with nice patterns inside of the name of the designers. Just by looking at the box, you can actually tell that everything they make in Minted.com is handled with care. I just love how I received my stuff. I felt very special!

The Perfect Duffle Bag

The bag from Posy Lane came in the mail three days ago! My daughter was eager to try and bring it to school. She did yesterday and here is what she says about the bag. And this is her first time to have this kind of big bag. We use big bags like duffel bags for our travels too but to use it in school is really something she looks forward to.

"Duffel bag... That was certainly a first for me. I personally take deep interest in collecting bags, especially if they catch my attention. I take that from my mom who is a serious bag hoarder! My mom asked me to choose a design from Posy Lane and somehow, this  particular duffle bag caught my eye. It seemed like a simple bag. Well, at least that's what I was thinking. But it was one of those personalized duffel bags where the bag is customized to suit your taste. And they nailed it.

For someone like me who's going through the angsty teen years where fashion is everything and comes first after looks, bags are a must. Mostly, I would have thought that carrying a backpack or a sling bag was helpful but eventually the books got heavier. Not to mention, it's a strain on the shoulders. With this duffel bag, however, was a completely different story. The color scheme and designs didn't only suit  my taste, but to my classmates as well. They said it was 'cute' and 'cool'. I agree. The bag managed to hold all my books and it didn't even make my shoulders hurt from switching sometimes.

The idea of having my name printed on the bag somehow made me feel elated. I mean, if I ever lose that bag, I'd be blind if I didn't see my own name printed in big, blue, block letters, now wouldn't I? All in all, this is a great gift form my mom courtesy of Posy Lane. They do have cool stuff there!"

The bag measures 18 inches by 9.5 inches. It is chocolate color with a giraffe printed handle straps overlapping the bag. The fabric is Mint's signature fabric which I think is also water proof.

Head on to Posy Lane for a personalized gift idea or something to buy for your little ones with the personalized touch. You'll be amazed with the myriad of beautiful, cute and whimsical designs they have for both kids and adults. I will definitely come back to their site and check out more of their products.

Thanks Posy Lane. You made me and my daughter very happy with the duffel bag.

Creative Christmas Gifts

My creative juice is not yet back but I am really trying hard to get the groove back in my arts and craft projects especially now that it is the "ber" month. That means, Christmas is just around the corner. That means too, I have to start making my Christmas list as we are spending the holidays back home.

I want to be creative this time with my gifts. Last time we bought things that are a necessity to the recipient. I am thinking of making accessories like necklaces and bracelets to my female relatives and friends. I can check bead suppliers here in Dubai for some nice, chic and funky beads and I can probably start working on the project.

If the accessories does not materialize, I am still thinking of getting personalized items to my family and friends. It will be an interesting Christmas gift list this year. I wonder if I can finish all that I plan to do before we go home.

Housewarming Gift Idea

Our good friend and her family moved to a bigger residential unit recently. We were there during the housewarming. My husband and I have realized that we have not given them any housewarming gift yet. I tried to recall what I have seen in her house. The place is furnished and I feel that none of the common things every house must have will appeal her.

I looked around and realized that there are other alternatives to just buying what we can find in the department store. I kind of like the idea of giving something very personal.

The internet is teeming with personalized housewarming gifts within my budget. There are sites which offer housewarming gifts under $20 and would even include free deliver. Unfortunately, we are here in Dubai so I think the shipping will be another matter to consider but I like the idea of giving something that will appeal to her and her family, something they can all share. I think a personalized photo frame which they can put on their console table near the entry way will be ideal. It can be a focal point on the table and a sure conversation piece.

Gift-Giving this Christmas

We have actually completed the gift-hunting and shopping last weekend in time for the coming of Christmas.

Most of the gifts we bought were for kids. Our families are loaded with children so I can imagine the merriment come Christmas morning.

I didn't do the Christmas shopping this year and have left the task to my husband. I did tell him what would be nice for the people in our list. We thought of buying personalized stuff too. I know there are great deals in the internet. I found some deals at 20% off at PersonalCreations. I think that is a good deal considering the tight budget and the number of people we have in the list.

There are still other occasions in the coming months - birthdays and anniversaries of people we love. So, I hope I can still find great offers for personalized gifts.

Gift for Millie

Our loving and diva dog - Millie, is celebrating her 2nd Christmas with us. Last year, we didn't get her anything. I wanted to give something cute and "functional" to our four-legged baby. I scouted on numerous gift ideas for pets and narrowed my choice to personalized frisbees.

Dogs love to run in the park and play "catch" or fetch. A frisbee will be good for her. She will have heaps of fun running around and getting exercised as well. I hope the pet shops here carry some frisbees so there are choices. I'm not sure though if I can find a place to do the personalization of the stuff. If I were back home, this task would be a piece of cake!

Great Gifts for Him

My husband already received a gift from me for his birthday this month. My daughter and I picked it up amongst the many other choices in the mall. It took us nearly an hour just to decide what to give him and finally settled on an MP4 gadget.

It has been a tradition in our family to present "treats or goodies" whenever there is an occasion. Now that Father's Day is just around the corner, my daughter and I are in our pursuit to find unusual gifts for men. We want the gift to be not just special but also unique in a way that I know my husband will truly like and use.

I have just found the right place to search for the kind of items I have in mind for my husband who is a practical man and loves anything functional. With the limited time I have because of personal and professional commitments, I can only peruse the web for great ideas and do my online shopping. Men's Gifts is a one-stop-shop for birthday gifts and other wonderful items you may want to give to your precious better-half or male friends or to your male family members.

The site is teeming with so many gift ideas that I am having a ball! They offer various items from affordable gifts to the luxurious ones. There are gift baskets as well so you can just put all the items you want in one presentable gift basket with various themes.

I like the way the site offers multitude of choices with themes so I can weigh my choices better and what ever will suit the preference of the receiver. With Men's Gifts, I am not limited to just giving my husband a gift for his birthday because they cater to other occasions too like anniversaries, Father's Day, even that well deserved "promotion" gift or just about anything. The site also offers free engraving on orders on personalized gifts and free ground shipping on orders above $25. Not only that they give you these excellent offers, they also provide customer service assistance should you need some advice on what to give by calling their toll-free number.

After going through their numerous gift ideas, I have already narrowed my choice to at least 2 items which I am not telling. It's supposed to be a secret. Oh, just a hint, it is about travel... So, next time you need some great ideas and don't know where to start or what to look for, just check out www.mens-gifts.com and you will be surprised with the variety of great gift ideas you can find.

Special Gift Ideas this Holiday

My head is already spinning thinking about what to give my family and friends which can be very useful and functional at the same time. Last year, my gifts were smorgasbord of items and I was not even sure if they actually used them or not. I want to re-invent the art of gift-giving in tune with the sign of the times. This time I want to go techie.

I am sure a lot of us would have a good use for a nice storage where we keep our important documents in one place. With the advent of high-technology process and the demand for a secured place to keep documents and important files are the common concern of almost everyone, I just have the right personalized holiday gifts for Christmas.

Pexagon is the right place to find these cool and functional gift gadgets for the holidays. There are 4 gift ideas to choose from: Wooden USB flash drives, Business card flash drives, personalized thumb drives and pens. I think these are cool items to give away and they are offering a 20% discount up to the end of this year. So, even after the holidays and you need some catching up to do with gift-giving, then you can still avail of their good offer. The receiver will surely like these gifts since you can also personalize it for free!
