Who doesn't love free stuff??? I mean we are in a recession, aren't we?!?!?!? I love contests even though I never win and it has been in Molly Lou tradition to do one every now and then.

I was thinking that there has NOT been one internet giveaway in 2009...OMG!!!! Sorry to all, but without further delay:

There will be another lucky second place winner that will receive a gift certificate from MLG...OMG (Yes, I realize that I am a total dork.)

Kids Say the Funniest Things

Molly Lou Mini #1 said to me this morning:

"Molly Lou Mini #2 looks like a bird. She should fly away and find a new home with a brother that wants to share with her. She can sleep in a nest and I bet she would like it."

Someone CLEARLY does not like his sister's new found exploration skills. Oh the minds of a three year old!

****names were changed to protect the innocent!****

New Molly Lou Gifts contest coming tomorrow!!! Cheers!

Molly Lou Mini #2 wants you to love Molly Lou Gifts too! :)

Shout it from the rooftops!!!

Feel like shouting from the rooftops, mountains, or car sunroof that you are expecting a little bundle of joy! A hot new trend recently is pregnancy announcements and you know MollyLou Gifts has the cutest ones around. We have OH BABY, OH GIRL, and OH BOY! announcements. You can customize these to your liking and even give a shout out to the soon to be big brother/sister! You can even let all of those friends and family members know your cravings and you just might receive a package of pickles and chocolate chip cookies in the mail...hint, hint!

I only wish we had these when the the two Molly Lou Minis were en route. Perhaps for Molly Lou Mini #3?!?!?!? (Not yet.) Check out our Invitation and Announcement Station here for our pregnancy announcements and great assortment of party, showers, weddings, etc. invitations. Cheers!

Children's Depot Sale!

I forgot to mention items in our Children's Depot are now on Sale. We have so many unique and fun items for children~we have searched to find items that can't be found in just any shop. I know we all have tons of birthday parties to attend and are always looking for a deal. Check out the Children's Depot here and stock up. You can use our code friends10 to save an additional 10% off the sale prices! Cheers!

NEVER, NEVER Lose Keys Again!!

So, I'm sure I'm not the only one that loses keys all too often. It alway seems to happen when I have about 482754385 things in my hands, two kids out the door, and am of course, running late! AHHHH!!! I stumbled upon this too cute and practical monogram key ring. Big things are in now-just look at the monster size bags that every designer is making. These key rings are made of acryllic, so very durable and their large shape makes it easy to find on the counter, junk basket, bottomless purse, etc. With two kids, it is amazing the things that I now find in my bag. Sure the necessities are there-wallet, cell phone, hand sanitizer, but I am talking about only the things that are found in a mom's bag-action figures, trains, cars, three day old cookies, crumbs from who know's what food, diapers, wipes, clothing, wet clothes you forgot to take out, rattles, etc.

I digress back to the fab key ring. I had to have it and also felt it would be a great service for Molly Lou to carry it too. This way all friends and customers could be saved from the loss of keys! We here at Molly Lou Gifts are truly helping save your sanity while keeping you in style. These are great-feature your monogram or single initial in your choice of fonts and are very affordable at only $22. These would make a great gift~think Mother's Day, end of the year teacher gifts, birthdays, bridal showers, baby showers, etc. They are found on our Accessories and Such page found here.

Don't forget to use our code friends10 at checkout to save 10%. Have a great day! Cheers! http://www.mollylougifts.com/

Wedding Season Here We Come!!

Just back from an amazing wedding of a close college friend in Charleston, SC. It was seriously the most beautiful wedding I think I have ever been to. We had such a great time and part of me wishes that I could go back and plan my wedding again. I loved planning it and enjoyed my day. It was almost five years ago and there are definitely some things I would love to do again. I'm not really a vow renewal, big shindig thing again type of girl, so I will have to live vicariously through my friends and clients that are still planning their big day.

We have some too cute Save the Date announcements in our Invitation and Announcement Station. You can also take any of our party invitations or other announcements and turn in to a Save the Date for your and your honey. Your Save the Date announcements should be stylish and unique...they give your wedding guests a first glimpse to your big day and what's to come.

Check out our Save the Dates and other party invitations here. We have matching invitations, notes, and accessories. Think rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, and more! We are always here to help, so drop us a line if you have any questions while looking around. Cheers and Happy Wedding!!
