Colorado Promotional Products | Corporate Gifts for Holidays and Special Events

With the way the economy has been, no one really wants to spend extra money on holiday gifts for their clients. It is important to remember those clients, though. Show your appreciation for their continued business by sending them a gift for the holidays. It can be something as inexpensive as a giant tin of popcorn for the entire office or something that has a little more substance like a gift basket with wine or champagne. A Champagne and chocolate combo is always nice, too. Anyway that you would like to do it, It’s a Gift can help you make an impression on those that you would like to show your gratitude. Visit www.itsagiftbylisa.com to view the products or just call Lisa of It’s a Gift  at 720-840-6711 to help you find that perfect holiday gift or holiday card.

I have just moved all of my beautiful merchandise to my retail space in Bridalize in the Landmark of Greenwood Village, Colorado. It is a Bridal boutique that services brides who may need a little help planning their wedding or a lot. It isn’t just for brides, though. Any event can be successfully planned to completion by the vendors at Bridalize. It has everything from DJ’s, caterers and photographers to gifts and accessories that can be purchased on the spot from It’s a Gift.

I just added a wonderful gift to my website www.itsagiftbylisa.com I can make Personalized drink tumblers with a name or initials. When you visit the site and look at the travel tumblers under the Gift tab, there will be a choice of patterns and colors. There are choices for men, as well. You may want to give them a matching set by adding matching luggage tags or note cards. All of these are made on site at It’s a Gift. They can be ready to ship overnight. If you are just planning to give the graduate a check, spice it up a little with the packaging by putting it in the Personalized tumbler! Gift wrapping is also available.

It is very quickly becoming a very busy time. It is wedding season. So, many brides with so many choices to make. I am doing my best to try to reach just a few of those brides and help them make a few of their important decisions. I have wonderful guest books, ring pillows and flower girl baskets. My favorite is the gold silk brocade set. It has just the right amount of “Bling”. The truth is I think they are all so beautiful. I never knew there were so many incredible choices. Now, I am in the position to help the bride find the perfect one to fit her style. I just need to find her and she just has to find me.

This is a fabulous cookbook. Simply Southern with a Dash of Kosher Soul is the answer to “what’s for dinner”. The recipes are tried and true and are delicious. I was at their taste testing night in Memphis. If you go to the site and search through the pictures of the event, you will see both my husband and I trying many of the incredible dishes in this book. I bought one for myself and many more to give for gifts. It is THAT good.

It has been a while since my last post. I have been knee deep in book keeping and getting my new gift web site set up. It is not moving as quickly as I had hoped, but good things take time.

I have been at Greenwood Athletic Club for the last four days selling balloons filled with a stuffed animal and candy. The reviews have been great. I have really enjoyed seeing how some men really take the time to consider their valentine. They put great thought into the colors and what she would really like to have in her balloon. Some were very thoughtful and added a gift card for a massage or dinner to their favorite restaurant. It was fun to see the light bulb go on for the creative types when they realized the great gift giving potential that a gift balloon would serve.

Wedding favors are small gifts given as a gesture of appreciation or gratitude to guests from the bride and groom during a wedding ceremony or a wedding reception. It is a way to say thank you for joining in the wedding celebration. The tradition of distributing wedding favors is a very old one. It is believed that the first wedding favor, common amongst European aristocrats, was known as a bonbonniere. A bonbonniere was a small trinket box made of crystal, porcelain, or precious stones. Generally, the little boxes were filled with sugar cubes or delicate confections. Sugar was expensive and it was believed that sugar had medicinal value. As sugar became more affordable, bonbonnieres were replaced with almonds.

For centuries, almonds were commonly distributed to wedding guests to signify well wishes on the bride and groom’s new life. In the thirteenth century, almonds coated with sugar, known as confetti, were introduced. Confetti soon transformed to sugared almonds, which later evolved into the wedding favor for modern day weddings now known as Jordan almonds. Traditionally, five Jordan almonds are presented in a confection box or wrapped in elegant fabric to represent fertility, longevity, wealth, health and happiness. The bitterness of the almond and the sweetness of the coated candy exemplify the bitter sweetness of a marriage.

Today, gifts to guests are commonly known as wedding favors and are shared in cultures worldwide. Wedding favors have become an intricate part of wedding reception planning, especially in the United States and Canada. Today’s favors are unique, elegant, fun, colorful, and some gifts may even be personalized with the couple’s names and the wedding date.
