M&M Candy Gifts and Favors

Posted on February 21, 2009 by vicki

My father and I had a game while I was growing up. Okay, maybe it was more when I was over the age of 13 and too old for real games with Dad. Being a typical teenager, I liked the idea of having fun with him without actually admitting it. It was always m&ms, and I have no idea how it even started. We would take a package and hide them and one of us would give the other a clue somehow, by leaving a note somewhere. It was always something cryptic, which my dad was great at, something like, “Soup’s on” or something a little more obscure. This game seemed to end when I was living in my own apartment and Dad insisted the m&m’s were hidden somewhere in the apartment. I won’t say where they were hidden, but that was the end of the m&m game.

I still love m&m’s and I have a special place in my heart thanks to Dad and our fun together. There are so many things you can do with m&m’s nowadays, and I especially love the new wedding colors! We have so many favor packaging ideas these m&m’s would go wonderfully with them. We also have some classic wedding labels that would coordinate with the new colors.

Cinnamon Hearts Candy Cider

Posted on February 10, 2009 by vicki

I found this on Martha Stewart today. What a great idea! It’s so easy and would make a really nice table treat and coordinate well with some cinnamon heart candy favors. I really like the 4oz tapered glass favor jars for colorful candies like this. The lid is perfect for both favor labels and [tag]gift tags[/tag]. Add some tags with the recipe and you’re all set.

Cinnamon Hearts Cider

1 quart apple cider
1/4 cup hard cinnamon candies
Stir in a medium saucepan over low heat.
Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly,
until heated through and candies have
melted completely, about 8 minutes.
Serve warm.

Spring 2009 Wedding Colors

Posted on February 7, 2009 by vicki

From the PANTONE Fashion Color Report – Spring 2009 by Douglas Hannant

Spring traditionally evokes a sense of freshness and new beginnings, with sprouting shoots and blossoming flowers that inspire designers to breakout of the winter doldrums. Bright colors return to the top 10 list for spring ’09, as designers incorporate vibrant pops into their collections, yet temper the vibrancy with deeper, translucent or neutral tones.

“New York’s fashion designers encourage hopeful attitudes with lively colors, while sophisticated, grounded hues address the need for stability in times of economic uncertainty,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®.

New Spring 2009 Wedding Favors

Posted on February 5, 2009 by vicki

Our new line of spring wedding favors is up and ready to ship! My personal favorite this year are the Sea Glass Luminaries with beaded handles – they are sure to bring the beauty of the beach to your tables.

You don’t have to be having a beach-themed wedding to add these special luminary favors to your event. These tealight favors are so pretty and can be used for special events, showers, parties, etc. I would love to have them on the table at a dinner party for a soothing effect.

There are also quite a few favors this spring with cherry blossoms, all of which are completely gorgeous AND practical! I am not one to push useless favors, as they really should be a way to say thank you to your guests for sharing your event and celebrating your day, whatever it may be. I love these Cherry Blossom Glass Coaster Favors and the Cherry Blossoms Vellum Wine Glass Shades. With one of those battery operated tealights, they would make a beautiful addition to your tables, nighttime or day.

And of course we love our eco-friendly favors, from reusable shopping bags, to Herbs in a Box, to bamboo coasters and soaps with recycled paper labels. The
Herbs in a Box is one of our bestsellers, a completely recycled, reusable and practical gift for guests. It comes with a reusable, recycled kraft box, a peat pot and peat pellet and seeds, instructions for planting and raffia ribbon, all completely compostable.

The summer label is all about butterflies and the fall label boasts a friendly owl on a tree branch. All of these labels are also available as favor tags, and coordinate with new Seasons place cards, thank you cards, and return address labels.
