It's a Date

Client: Her cousin AKA her best friend is celebrating her 3-0 and being newly engaged. She cannot make her big birthday bash in Chicago; so she would like to send a special something. If it could be somewhat centered around her wedding, that would be great too.

Gen: Her bday bash is at a happening bar in Chi-town? On the phone I went with the owner and the surprise champagne toast was arranged. Complete with message and a bottle of her favorite. Left just a bit in the budget for a custom silhouette illustration of the lucky couple. Complete in wedding colors with the big date. (that's not the actual pic)

Twitter Treat!

Gen: For the month of February it was all about the love! And so was this month's twitter treat from our friends at www.risecollective.us. Super soft 100% cotton hand-screened shirt in environmentally friendly ink.

25

Client: They would like to get something special for their midwife as a thank you. She was there for them through the entire process. Meaning 25 hours of labor with no drugs!

Gen: I've never shopped for a midwife before! She hung in  the entire 25 hours and she has 5 kids of her own. Whoa. I think the gift(s) should be something that are strictly for her to enjoy on any kind of down time she can find. Chosen treats were from a favorite boutique in Sausalito who specialize in organic and handmade. A lovely glass bottle of bubble bath, a tranquil candle and a pillow that says it all.

Sending Some Sun

Client: Their colleague has been working hard as always; but now even harder in her personal life. Her brother has needed extra care as his family has battled something big. They want to send her something so she can take a moment and treat herself to some much needed TLC.

Gen: Hard working mama who is always on the go and the give. I think she will love this sweet assortment of  sugar scrub, soap and super soothing lotion-all natural, organic and hand made. The sunshine in the packaging is pretty fantastic too.

Special Delivery

Client: Her friends have just completed the long road of adopting their daughter from China. No simple task and she has arrived 8 months wiser into their arms. Meeting her new family- mom, dad and 2 very excited older brothers. She'd like to get something perfect for her new room as a welcome to the extended family present.

Gen: This family is now multi-cultural and loves to travel. I think I know just the thing. This mirror would be gorgeous in her new nursery. How fantastic that the elephant symbolizes good luck and fortune too?

Twitter Treat!

Gen: This follower just launched a whole new website! I wanted to send a special surprise to celebrate. Www.scoutmob.com loves all things mustaches; so when I came across these I knew they were ridiculously perfect.

New Arrival!

Client: Their good friend's daughter just had her first little bundle of snuggles. They'd like to send a special treat to welcome his arrival. Something sentimental not registry.

Gen: So the new mom oversees the forestry department out West and the couple can't get enough of the outdoors in general. I think I know just the shop out in San Francisco. They are going to love their new bamboo mobile, hanging sweetly over his crib.
