Birthday Gifting Heasache Resolved

As you all know I love watching a local show called Studio 5, They always have such great Ideas!
Well this week they featured a story about the headache of coming up with a great or unique gift or gift slogan and I have to say I loved there solution...No it wasn't just a gift card!(Not that, that can be all that bad.)
in Lehi,UT
They have great gift wrap Ideas and also offer wrapping paper, gift baskets, theme gifts, favor bags, and awesome fun boutique gifts.

Here of of the examples of cute and unique slogans for all ages.
Great Gift Ideas for Kids:
• "To the STAR of the day… Hope you have a Happy Birthday!" (A princess themed bag with a pixy stick that is made into a star wand and sticks out of the bag)
• "Hey Matie! AAARGGHH you going to have a Happy Birthday?! AYE … hope so!" (A pirate themed bag with a Rootbeer bottle with a skull label, chocolate gold coins, eye patch, telescope, tattoos, and candy)
• "EYE hope you have a great birthday!" (Any gift you want - wrapped up with eyeball candy and an eyeball balloon inside)
Great Gift Ideas for Teens:
• "LEI back and enjoy your day… you deserve it!" (A Hawaiian themed bag with soda, treats, bracelet and gift card - tie it up with a Lei)
• "Hope you have a BALL on your birthday!" or "Hope your birthday is a BALL!" (Giant sized gumballs, or if the recipient is a sports fanatic add any time of sports balls)
• "Pop this balloon and you will see - a fun surprise -to you from me!" (Put cash inside a balloon - an all time favorite for those hard to buy for teenagers)
Great Gift Ideas for Adults:
• "Hope you have a SCENT-sational birthday!" (A candle warmer, room spray, and candle)
• "Happy Birthday to a real CLASSIC!" (For the Coca Cola drinkers in your life! A six pack of coke with some nuts or candy tied on top)
• "Have a seat, pick up your feet, eat a treat, ain't life sweet? Happy Birthday!" (Use it with any type of treat wrapped up: toenail polish, lotion, or pedicure gift certificate)
• "Since it's your Birthday… Lunch is on me!" (Great tag for food gift cards)

I highly recommend checking out there fun blog as well!

Yea for Fall!!!

Well it's almost fall. Which means decor of beautiful Autumn Oranges, Reds, and Browns. I love these colors. I love fall...the smells,colors,sweater weather, pumpkins, cornstalks... fantastic!!! In fact Mr.Gifted and I love it so much that our kitchen/dining room is decked in fall colors. Here are some great fall crafts I've found: This front door is very festive!



I love this candles in the Metal Pumpkin. Trey chic!!!Fun little decorations to hold anything like recipes, name cards for place settings at a fab fall party, Pictures, anything really! And if your looking to make it a little more adult use richer colors, real of fake leaves instead of foam, or simply take off the smiley face. Just Love It!!! (Also a great craft for the kids.
Now this is an extreme fall decor door. It is quite beautiful but a bit too much for my taste.

If you have a favorite fall craft or decor piece. Let me know and I'll feature it on my blog!
Have Fun and Happy Fall days!

I’m Back….

So back with some great finds…

1st let me give a shout out to my cousin Jessica she made this awesome quilt for her husband and the coolest thing is she made it out of her hubby’s old MISSION TIES!!! So creative!!! good think Jess….(sorry I can’t get the pic to work so see it here it’s just past the cute camping pics.)

Next I have to show you my yard sale find for 1 smakaroo…. Before(sorry it’s blurry…) I know, it’s not very pretty… It came with scratches galore and scraggly sticks poking out. Until I cut the straggles off, painted it, and filled it….After It turned out pretty good I think and it looks great on top of my kitchen cabinet with my other sunflowers. 80) You may have to look pretty hard but you can find some great things for crafting and awesome pieces of furniture to refurbish.

*****What have you found at a garage sale and took it from drab to Fab????*****
