Very Vera

Did you know that Vera Wang was designing stationery? I didn’t. It makes sense, though, doesn’t it? Her name is practically synonymous with elegant living.

I found these Vera Wang Bejeweled Sun Notecards over at Exposures Online. And it’s just one of a nice selection of beautiful designer stationery and note cards they offer from Vera Wang and other top designers. The set of 10 cards sells for $32. Loads of other colors and styles are available.

Gifting Hint: Stationery and fine paper goods are always a great gifting option. First of all – they are at once elegant and affordable, a combo which can be pretty hard to achieve. Second, stationery is ‘consumable’ meaning there’s no added clutter. Stationery is practical, which is always a good thing. And, most of all, I think beautiful stationery is always a great gift for a wedding, engagement or housewarming gift. These events mark a time of new beginnings always come along with gifts for which thank you notes will, of course, need to be written.

How fabulous is this vase? I absolutely LOVE it. I’d be thrilled if someone were to give it to me as a gift. And I just might buy one for myself.

Create The Ultimate Cookbook

Deb Savvy — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 01:37:16 +0000

I’ve seen some ‘create your own book’ websites before and even featured some of them here at the www.savvyshoppingblog.com/blog2. I’ve also seen some ‘create your own cookbook’ websites. But I’ve never seen one like TasteBook . Choose among over 25,000 recipes – from Epicurious, Bon Appetit, Gourmet and other great publishers. You can even upload and include your own favorites, add personal photos and customize your with a beautiful cover. It’s fun, fast and easy – like iTunes for recipes. Create a personal cookbook at TasteBook.com

Each TasteBook.com custom cookbook costs $34.95 and includes 100 recipes and ten chapter dividers and an easy-open binder so you can add more recipes any time. It’s a great way to clean up the clutter of old magazine issues and clipped pages. I also think a custom cookbook is a great gift. Especially for a bridal shower. And I can’t think of a more wonderful way to pass family favorite recipes on to the next generation. What a nice gift from mother to daughter or grandmother to granddaughter!

Wine + Spa = Ooh La La!

A decadent display of pampering pleasures. Crisp Chardonnay. Chardonnay foaming bath gel and a soothing gentle shower gel. Body lotion. Relaxing Chardonnay bath salts. French milled soaps. Chardonnay biscuits. Key lime cookies. Regularly priced at $89.99, this bountiful gift basket is currently a total steal at only $49.99. From Wine.com. Because of the special pricing, this item is not eligible for any coupons or further discount offers. A wonderful idea for a bridal shower gift, a fun Valentine and a great way to pamper a girlfriend on a birthday or other special occasion. It’s hard to imagine a gift basket that packs more punch for under $50!

Shower Her With Paper

Deb Savvy — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 04:41:32 +0000

Here’s one of my all time bridal shower gifts – personalized paper goods. Something tasteful and elegant featuring her new name or monogram. Anything from personalized stationery and envelopes to simple initial block note pads make a fun gift for the bride to be. I generally shy away from anything to ‘bridal’, instead choosing something beautiful yet non-specific. That way she can still use and enjoy the gift long after the thank you notes have all been written.

You’ll find countless designs and excellent customer service for Personalized Stationery Gifts from PersonalizationMall.com – and surprisingly quick delivery if you’re a last minute shopper like me. You’ll also find the gift of fine paper goods to be surprisingly affordable with many bountiful options available $50 and under.
