“Buttercream Dreams” Cake Candle on Porcelain Pedestal Cake Plate

Reminiscent of springtime and life’s sweetest moments, the “Buttercream Dreams” Cake Candle brings a tiny tower of flirty fun to your tables and a delightful favor for your guests to take home. These little candles resemble three charmingly wrapped gift boxes; they sell as sets of four.

A pesonalized tag can be added.

 

“Love is Blooming” Wildflower Seed Favor Kits

Our second choice is whimsical and eco-friendly at the same time. Each seed kit comes with twelve lovely heart-flower glossy print seed packets, twelve matching pastel organza ribbons and a large package of wildflower seeds to fill the packets.

What better way to celebrate the beginning of your new life than to plant these lovely new flowers!

“Love-sicle” Lightly Scented Popsicle Soap

Our third choice looks so yummy! You almost want to eat it! But wait! It’s glycerin soap!

Each popsicle soap comes in three “flavours”: strawberry pink, vanilla and orange.

The heart-shaped “bite”  makes it even more fun!

 

Personalized Travel Candle

Our fourth choice is the Personalized Travel Candle; it comes in a beautiful organza bag. The tin measures approximately 2” in diameter and is 1” high.

The lid labels come in many designs (wedding, anniversary, baby shower, etc) and can be personalized.

Minimum order: 24.

 

Luminous Mini-Lanterns

Add a little decor to your table!

Each aluminum mini-lantern stands 5″ high with a removable lid that makes lighting the replaceable tea light easy.

You can choose from glossy white or brushed silver. These favors are perfect for wedding, anniversary and engagement parties.

Searching for that perfect Romantic Valentine’s Day Gift that will be remembered and cherished forever where quality and elegance are important? Well hold on, I have found a wonderful website for you that accomplishes that and much more. Timeless Message (www.timelessmessage.com) is a fresh new website I found that has wonderfully romantic gifts. The Message in a Bottle gift that they offer is just superb. Sending a message in a bottle is a very romantic new gift idea for anyone on for any special occasion not just a romantic one although it is genuinely the most romantic gift I have ever seen and there is a message in a bottle for every budget which is important today.

You can send a message in a bottle for Valentine’s Day, an Anniversary, Birthday, Graduation, Mother’s Day Father’s Day, Christmas and of course for no particular reason at all. I sent one to my spouse for Christmas and I could not have chosen anything more meaningful or that would become more cherished. It was just simply awesome. I sent one to my mom on her birthday and she called me crying with overwhelming emotion. I think that pretty much gives you an idea of just how personalized, sentimental and touching this is.

See “Message in a Bottle” Collection and Timeless Teddy Bears! Visit TimelessMessage.com!

We mentioned Timelessmessage.com in our 2009 Valentine’s Gift guide (Part 2).

Sometimes words are not strong enough to express the emotion and joy VoiceQuilt will bring. That’s why I posted the video above. 

VoiceQuilt is the perfect gift for Valentine’s, Christmas, birthday, anniversary and any special day! It is a unique product that strings (or quilts) personalized audio messages from family/loved ones that are set into a variety of beautiful keepsake boxes.  During these tough times, the best love and support a lot of people need come from the heart of many.

As you know, I have always encouraged small Arts and Crafts businesses. I have one of my own, after all! Today I’d like to talk to you about Silver River Metal which is one of my favorites when it comes to handcrafted jewelry.

The products they offer are one-of-a-kind metal and stone pendants, belt buckles, bracelets, earings, glass pendants, necklaces, rings, pins and brooches. Their collection is pretty diverse and I’m sure you could find something to match any outfit!

The metals they use the most are copper and silver.

The prices are very affordable; if you are on a budget, I would recommend the earings under $10.00. My favorites are the flirty Chinese Lantern Earings for $9.00.

All of their products make excellent choices for unique and elegant gifts on Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, anniversary, wedding and any other special day. For more info and to see current selections, please visit their website.

The “His & Hers Sheet Set”

His & Hers Sheet Set from www.BedHog.com

If you want to stay away from any conventional gift and offer something fun and unique, I suggest the “His & Hers Sheet Set” from www.BedHog.com. The set is made of 1 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet and 2 pillowcases. The 100% cotton sateen sheets are white with a stylish “His” and “Hers” print on them. A line down the middle will delimitate the two sides and help reveal who the real Bed Hog is!! The flat and fitted sheets are reversible so partners have a choice on which side they want to sleep.

The set comes in King ($119.99) and Queen ( $99.99) sizes. I wish they had a California King size to fit MY bed! hahaha Anyway, this would be an excellent choice for a unique and special gift! One of my favorites!

For $29.99, you can buy a separate pillowcases set; they even offer pillowcases sets for Gay Couples or singles who like to have the bed all to themselves!

Who is Behind BedHog.com?

The story goes that Sue and Patrick were newlyweds when all of a sudden they had an important debate in the bedroom. The topic: who was hogging more than their fair share of the bed?! In order to find out, they created the Bed Hog sheets. So, now they are sleeping on their own Bed Hog sheets and are happier than ever!
