Best Wedding Registry & Baby Registry | Gifting Made Easy!

June 20, 2014 11:01 am \ Leave a Comment \

   

Best Wedding Registry & Baby Registry 

Finally!  A wedding registry & baby registry that can truly include anything and everything your heart desires, all in one place!  We are not exaggerating even the tiniest bit.

On Amazon's wedding registry brides and grooms can receive unprecedented benefits:

  • They get a 10% completion gift off most products on Amazon for a savings up to $100.
  • Amazon has hands down the world's largest selection
  • And best yet, Amazon's wedding registry is universal meaning the bride and groom can add items from other websites with the easy to use universal button.

Similarly on Amazon's baby registry parents to will find everything they need and plenty of things they want at discounted prices with extended return periods.  Again, parents can add products from any website with the user friendly universal buttons.  What we particularly love about registering on Amazon is that your friends and family can actually send you practical items – gifts that keep on giving like weekly diaper deliveries.  As cute and ooh and aaah inspiring as those fancy baby blankets and outfits are most new parents strapped for cash would much prefer to have help with the basics from teethers to onesies to wipes. Our recommendation — Register NOW – Create an Amazon Baby Registry.

On last thing – we believe putting your registry on Amazon will actually be easier for your friends and family.  They won't have to hop around between your various gift lists to find something they really like.  Plus, most people know & love Amazon. All their payment information is already stored which makes shopping and gifting seamless.

Party Hearty!

Chic Hair For The New Year! >> Voluminous Ponytail | Party Pretty!

December 24, 2013 2:27 pm \ Leave a Comment \

By: Sarina

Voluminous_PonytailMerry Christmas! Even as you are opening your presents and eating your feast, the chances are you are already surreptitiously thinking about your New Year's Eve celebration and starting to obsess over the perfect outfit, accessories, and hair & make-up. If you are contemplating wearing a statement dress for your New Years party, then you should seriously consider wearing a sleek and chic hair style like a ponytail. There are various ways to wear a ponytail. My favorite hair inspiration, Kate Beckinsale, has been seen sporting a voluminous ponytail quite often. It is the perfect way to vamp up the typical ponytail. It has a very 1950s vintage vibe to it. And it doesn't matter how much hair you have because with the right teasing, it will look just right!  Plus a perfect way to put a modern twist to the look is to add an elastic band hair cuffs! They add glam without overpowering the style. To see how to style this hairdo look below!

Look at how cute! Whether you're throwing a kids' party or a grown-up get-together, these glass drinking jars will bring a touch of laid-back charm to the setting.  Perfect for so many different party themes — think chalkboard chic and mustache bash and Americana.  I can also see using these at a vintage theme wedding with and magnetic escort boards made with tin tile or check out these cute Sip and See Baby Shower invitations and coordinating thank you cards, scratch it games, and party decor.

A stylish , fun, hip, and sustainable alternative  to disposable party goods!  After the party, they help make everyday a celebration. Party. Rinse. Repeat.

Need a Gift Quickly? Think Amazon Gift Cards!

December 21, 2012 10:54 am \ Leave a Comment \

 Print an Amazon Gift CardEmail an Amazon Gift Card Amazon Gift Card Sent through Facebook

Need a gift quickly? E-mail or print  or send through  facebook an Amazon.com Gift Card.

We really are not joking when we say Amazon has everything and anything.  Just yesterday when we were searching for edible glitter where did we find it – on Amazon, of course.

Today I am finally going to buy the 3D Slim LED HDTV my husband has been coveting and not surprisingly, Amazon has the best deal! My sister can buy herself  her favorite DKNY pajamas to supplement the ones I bought her last year and she wears every single night! My children much prefer when Uncle Andy sends an Amazon gift card than when he decides everyone needs the latest and greatest pair of binoculars.

Even though it is too late to get most online gifts delivered in time for Christmas, you can still avoid the last minute holiday mall craziness this weekend –  and  get all your loved ones exactly what they want.  Simply e-mail a gift card, post it on their Facebook Wall, or print one on your home or office computer for personal delivery.  If you print it out be sure to wrap it up cute!

Party Hearty!
