End of Year Teacher Gifts

Do you always have a hard time (like I do) finding a nice gift for your children's teachers?

Here are 2 great stamps that can be customized for you children's teachers. Also, any of the other stamps on here can be customized and made specifically for teachers!

The Family Stamp

This week I have a new stamp design idea that is a little more generic. This stamp can be used for books, recipe cards, envelopes and more. It is perfect to give as a wedding present as it doesn't use an address but it definitely helps a couple showcase their new family name. It is also perfect for the family that moves a lot and knows their address is likely to change.

Bridal Shower Gift Idea

I always want to be the one who gives the "thoughtful, meaningful" gift to a friend. Over the years I have tried and tried lots of different gifts with varying levels of success, until I found these stamps. What bride to be doesn't want to showcase her "new" name (Ok, maybe there are those out there . . . but I was not one of them. I wanted to write my new married name over and over!).

So if you are looking for the perfect bridal shower present here are some ideas (and yes, they all involve my stamps)

• If she loves to cook, or this is a kitchen themed shower-- give here some 3X5 cards and a stamp that says "From the kitchen of" or any other wording you may prefer like"Baked especially for you by" or "From's Rebecca's Kitchen" and remember the graphic in the middle can be anything you want (you can even email me something custom too!)
• If she loves to read -- give her a new stamp to label all her books.
• She is going to have to write lots of thank-you notes so get here some blank cards and a stamp that says Thanks all around the edges with her name in the middle
• And of course, she will have to have a return address label so why not have it be a pretty one so that even writing out all those bills won't seem quite so dreary!

New Kids Designs!

Check out the kidsname design at the left. I can use any font and add nearly any graphic so get your kids or grandkids their own personal stamp!

Does your grandson love dinosaurs? Put a dinosaur in the center. Does your daughter love flowers or ladybugs? Put what they love in the center.

I am always working on new designs for custom stamps and will keep adding them as I make them. If you do not see a design you like -- email me with what you want and I will make it for you! Remember, you are always shown a proof to approve -- so you will never end up with something you won't like.
