Gifting My Ladies

Next on my list of to do's...gifting my maids. I have 8 lovely ladies standing up at the alter with me in June and I want to put together a little goody bag to thank them. The challenge of course is that means 8 goody bags...which again means 8 times the price. But we'll deal with that when the time comes.

I want to have a unique assortment of gifts that can be custom to each of my ladies personalities. I love the idea of including a framed handmade print from one of my favorite Etsy shops.

$29.00 from The Love Shop

I wish I could wallpaper my office at work with their drool worthy prints.

$25.00 from Hijirik

I've seen this print on many a blog...it comes in a rainbow of colors and is just so simple and true.

$10.00 from Keilee

I may need to have this posted in the dressing room before the wedding. Oh my nerves!

Are you doing anything unique for your ladies?

Pottery Barn Mania

Eva Colored Glass Table Lamp, $99

Adventures in registering continued last weekend as I was finally able to drag M over to Pottery Barn. We decided to forego the one on Newbury Street and head to the Mall in Chestnut Hill because I was feeling slightly under the weather and wanted to ensure we could find parking. M was quick to agree as we have had 4 failed Pottery Barn attempts due to lack of parking on Newbury Street. Lazy much?

SurEvolution Flower Bowl, $99

When we arrived at the store, my fingers began tingling with excitement to get my hands on that gun! Despite the fact that the staff was rather unhelpful (it took nearly 30 minutes for us to finally find someone who was able to get our registry started), M and I had fun perusing the newlywed mecca of home design.

Puebla Dinnerware Collection, Price Varies

Because M and I have been living together for 2 years at this point, we have most of the basics so I was really looking for detailed accent pieces to accent our style. I just hope that some of the more unique items stay in stock until our guests begin shopping.

Pretty Packages

I adore giving and receiving (and just looking at) gifts that have been wrapped up in pretty paper. That is part of the reason why I love Etsy! Seriously those crafty sellers deliver some of the cutest packages. Adorable.

I'm looking forward to doing the same for all of the wedding & thank you gifts that we'll be giving to our nearest and dearest over the next year. I was so excited to see this on Oh So Beautiful Paper this morning.

How adorable is this hand screen printed wrapping paper? Even better there all on-sale in rifferafe's etsy shop.

Are you adding any extra touches to your wedding / thank you gifts?
