Where I Go For Personalized Gifts And Cards*

I’ve always been a fan of personalized cards and gifts. Whether it’s with pictures or words {or both}, the reaction is always the same – “how thoughtful!” This is why I continue to go back to the cards at Shutterfly time and time again.

I’ve already talked about how they are a great option for the holidays, but they also have a great selection for milestones in one’s life, such as graduations or new babies. However, while neither of these life changes are actually happening to myself, the last month has been full of such events for others in my life.

First, my sister-in-law and one of my best friends both welcomed baby girls in the last month and what’s better than looking at a newborn baby? Not much in my opinion! So, while browsing on Shutterfly, I found some of the cutest birth announcements that I’d gladly look at every day.

Then next weekend, my brother is graduating from college and I couldn’t be more proud of what he’s accomplished and what he has ahead of him. So what should cross my mind as the perfect gift, but one of Shutterfly’s photo books full of childhood pictures of the both of us, of course!

But that’s not all! Shutterfly has pages full of gifts that can feature your favorite photos, as well as cards for any and every reason you can think of! And best of all, you can rest assured your gift will be treasured because it was personalized with love :)

{Current} Favorites...

A couple months ago, CSN Stores contacted me and I was asked to take a peak around their site. As someone who uses the internet for majority of their shopping, the thing that surprised me most was the number of specialty stores {200+} under one checkout.

Lately, Sam and I have found that as we exit the “just married” phase of life {where we have been living off of all our generous wedding gifts for the last 2+ years} , our preferences are changing, which is just the reason I’ve turned to CSN Stores. Since the first time I visited the site, I have been back to look for everything from cookware to luggage to modern bedding. And with their vast selection of almost everything plus their easy accessiblity, I can’t really go wrong!
Here are a few things I’ve got my eye on lately…

{Calphalon - 24 cup mini muffin/cupcake pan}

{Traveler's Choice - carry on suitcase}

{Molly Mutt - Bird on a Wire dog bed}
