Staying Safe this holiday season PT 1-- Parking Lot PSA!!!

Just a little PSA for today. I love you guys and I want your holiday season to be as safe as possible. In the last 2 day I have seen 6 parking lot accidents most involved backing up vehicles. Please look both ways as you are backing up, if you need to beep the horn do so. Also if you are walking towards a vehicle that is backing up, please stop looking at your phone, hold your kids hands and ...be safe. If you are driving threw the parking lot and you see someone is backing up, please don't cut them off and keep going stop, let them back up. Oh and though most pedestrians wait for you to go, some don't, be careful. I know I have more but this is a big thing, Its a parking lot there is no need to go 50 miles an hr in the parking lot.

What I am really saying with all of this is be safe this holiday season, the store isn't a mobile store so it is not moving. Take your time and enjoy the season.

Gasp, shake your head in disbelief, take a double take ,pass out, grab the phone say she back, yes, you see it correctly,  a post. I know its been a long time since i have done a blog post,and no I haven't been neglecting the business by no means in fact I have been growing (will explain a little more later).  Over the past two years there have been a lot of changes both personal and business a like that kinda making upcoming changes.   OK yes that made no since.. OK..   lets try this..  In the mits of my crazy life with a newborn and other kiddos (who doesn't have one of those right) decided to go back to school and get my degree in web graphic design DONE, and now I'm almost done with my BA in  multimedia design degree. Fast forward, with relocation's, and some life in there, kids, designing life has been full of surprises. I love what I do, I love you guys, you are the reason why I went back to school.  I had enough of you ask me "why don't you do web design?", I need this, you do this.. get where i am going..  And now we are here the present.

How you fit in the family

I Love it when I have seen your kids grow up in photos from ultrasound photos to now they 6 years old graduating kindergarten.  What even better is you let me capture all those  milestone with invitations and announcements along the way.  You have let me into a part of your life year after year child after child, and it brings me to tears just to think about it, they are just like my babies. For my business customers that have called me last min sometimes two days before thing needed to be printed and said hey do you thing you can create a poster, or a flyer, or a business card ad for me and i have always came threw for you without a problem.  Because of you and your word of mouth referrals help paid for those expenses text books, every semesters, software, computer repair when needed, and to provide for my family so i can keep going.    You deserve a BIG FAT THANK YOU.  You guys are part of the family and I hope you continue to use my services.

For now I am going to come back and post more with new products, sales, or like its call "it came to me"  what ever is on my mind.  I will be here more.

Till then..

Having a Baby Shower? where to start? Pt 2

Just a recap, you have picked out your location, selected your invitations from giftsforallnc , and now you ready to go, OK well almost.  Do you have your addresses ready to go, do you plan on labeling or writing your address on the envelopes?  When you order your Invitations from us, save some time and purchase your return address printed on the envelopes, save you time.  We also offer labels (will be online soon).    OK now we are ready to move on. 

You have invited all these lovely people to your party, what are you going to do?  Decorations are a big part to any party, the atmosphere sets the mood of the party. Customized printable party packs (will be online soon) by giftsforallnc makes a party statement just for you.   Can be personalized to you with your name, baby name, match the invitations.   You can also have matching water bottle labels, candy wrappers, thank you cards, food labels and banner to name a few. 

What about food?  Depending on the time and location of your party food is important.  You can have basic finger food, chips, dip, veggie platter, fruit platter, Drinks, Cake, and maybe some meat rolls.  I always liked to feed my guest.  I hate for someone to come and leave because they are hungry.  What did i serve at mine?  There was a veggie and fruit platter, party meat balls (meat balls made with 1/2 jelly 1/2 BBQ sauce) sounds funny but very good, chicken wings, red rice and beans.  Its a party a celebration and that's what i wanted it to be.  It a chance to be with family and friends.  Did i mention Cake and Drinks.  One of my favorite drinks was a virgin strawberry daiquiri, easy to make easy to enjoy. 

You have the food, basic decorations this one big one.. a Centerpiece.  what about a Diaper Cake? A Diaper Cake not only doubles and a centerpiece but makes a great gift for a mom.  You can fill it up with lotion, soaps, you name it.  We specialize in Matching your theme, so if there is an idea, a style you want to match please just let us know.

Having a Baby Shower? where to start? Pt 1

Its not everyday that you can celebrate a new life coming into your life.  I doesn't have to be your baby it can be a friends, a sisters, cousins who ever every baby deserves to be celebrated.  So, where do you start?  Start with a date.  about 6-8 weeks before the baby is due is about a good time.   About 36 weeks a mom usually want to pick up the last min items that they still need to bring the baby home.  Saturday or Sunday are generally good days.  once you know the date decide on location.  Good places to have them, at a home, a Private room at a restaurant, or a hall. 

Now that you have the location and date.. Its time to think of themes and order invitations.  Here are some great ideas.
