One of my favorite clients and past brides of In Awe Weddings, Julia, opened her very own bakery in Tempe called Short N’ Sweet.  She has been kind enough to let me sample her goodies… everything from cinnamon rolls to sugar cookies, mini bundt cakes, etc. etc.  AMAZING.  My favorites… the cinnamon roll with the apple slice on it (sorry forgot the name) and the sugar cookies.  Their cinnamon rolls can be frozen and come in convenient microwave bowls.  When you warm them up, they get all gooey and amazing in the middle.  Is your mouth watering yet??

Get this… they have a Gluten Free line of food… including cinnamon rolls!  This is huge!  People come from miles around for their gluten free goodies.

Gift Ideas— Take a cinnamon roll wreath to share with your coworkers or take sugar cookies to your neighbor!  Please, leave the baking to Short N’ Sweet this year.  They’ll make your Christmas more enjoyable.  Visit them at 1805 East Elliot Road Suite 106 in Tempe.

My mom, Sandy of In Awe Weddings & Events, introduced my husband, Eric, to J Hilburn Men’s Clothier, by giving him the gift of a custom shirt.  He often finds it difficult to find dress shirts with the correct sleeve length, neck size, etc. Eric loved his shirt SO much that he purchased another one right away!  They have amazing details… they even embroider your initials in the collar!  Eric had a fantastic experience working with Tamara, so CALL her!

Please read through her information below.  I highly recommend this product… worth every penny!  It will make your dad, husband, boyfriend, etc. feel extremely special.  Tamara will come to measure him and make sure that his clothing fits beautifully.  Make sure you read the info about the specials below!

If you know anyone who loves paper products, Flossy has some great options for you!

We can create photo thank you cards and note cards for newlyweds, teenagers, teachers, professionals, etc. 

Another favorite is the notepad!  We have custom tear off or spiral bound notepads and notepads that attach to a backpack.  Please e-mail me at kelsey@flossystylishdesign.net for pricing.  It varies by size and style.

I can also create custom playing cards, bookmarks, magnets, and calendars!

That being said… I am a fan of Stephenie Meyer’s ability to create characters and stories that inspire such madness. I never thought I would read books about Vampires and love them. I’m sure that you know a Twi-hard, so I am posting some fun gifts for them.

Cafe Press has anything and everything Twilight. For kiddos, they have cute shirts and onesies.

For the more subtle Twilight Fan (the non-screaming kind, like myself), I found the cute Forks shirt at Customized Girl, and the Isle Esme shirt on Cafe Press.

For the gentlemen, you can find Cullen baseball t-shirts, mugs, and license plate holders at Cafe Press. You can find movie replica jewelry at Hot Topic as well.

Also, make sure you search on Etsy.com for cool handmade and custom items that are one-of-a-kind. You can also find Twilight posters and bags at Borders, buy the board game at Target, buy the barbies at Wal-Mart, well you get the idea… you can’t really escape the Twilight saga madness.

Stay Tuned! Gift ideas to come include custom fitted clothing by a local vendor, awesome jewelry, and lots of other fun items.

Last year, I had a really nice response to the blog posts of Christmas gift ideas, so here we go again! I will post new ideas for men, women, and kiddos as often as I can, so check in often.

I received an e-mail from Sephora about these fantastic fragrance “pens”. These travel-sized rollerballs of Juicy Couture, Viva La Juicy, and Couture Couture are all great and very different. My favorite is Viva La Juicy! You can gift these as a set or break them up. It would also be fun to tie on the ribbon on top of someone’s gift! Click here to go straight to the site.
