Pioneer Party

Introducing... the BIG HUNK BOUQUET!
We've used 3 Big Hunks, grouped them together like a bouquet of flowers, and added hearts to the tops of the candybars...a perfect place to hand write a note about why your man is indeed your Big Hunk!  (This would be darling to use 5 or more Big Hunks and make it BIG!"


A LOVE SNAKE?  Ummm, yes! - Think how much a little boy would LOVE to receive this 4' long plush snake!!  "HUGS & HISSES TO YOU!"

Just wanted to show you what our little Cupid's are busy making up!  Come into the store to see all the other FUN ideas!!

Just wanted to show you a couple of more unique things we have in our store right now for Valentine's Day...

#1 - The CHOCOLATE BOYFRIEND:  Box is 10" tall, with 4 oz of chocolate.  There are darling little quotes all over the box - one being, "If he gets any hotter, he'll melt!"   A must have for any single friends that are wishing they were dating...! ($10.99)

#2 - The LOVE BUG balloon:  4 donut or blossom shaped balloons attached together to make this love bug over 4' long... We can tie an oversized tag that says, "Will you be my LOVE BUG?"  Can you imagine how much your little girl/boy (what the heck - even your spouse!) would love waking up to see this in the living room?  ($13.99)

#3 - WIDE ROSE RIBBON:  This 4" wide ribbon comes in a dark red or a creamy ivory.  Seriously you could wrap a box of cereal in this and it would all of a sudden look like a gourmet gift!  I used it as a small table runner in my living room and it looks great!  …

Just wanted to let you in on a secret...

We now have PAPER STRAWS!!  Have you seen these around?



We just got a shipment of red and white striped straws, and white with pink polka dot straws!  YEY!  We are super excited.  There are so many fun things to do with them!

We also got some DARLING 5x7 flat paper bags in - PINK STRIPES!

You can find them online (in our Valentines section) or in-store!

So if you're new to our store and blog, each month we make a Visiting Teaching Gift that goes along with the message in the Ensign from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  We started this 10+ years ago, because we had customers coming in every month asking, "I have to go visit teach - what can I take to give?"  We would stop whatever we were doing and help each customer come up with something to give.  After this continuously happened for a few months, we decided we should pre-make some for these certain guests of ours.  And that is how our monthly Visiting Teaching Gifts all started.  I really want to say that we (as far as we know) were the first store to do this sort of thing.  Since then, there are many that sell something monthly... but we are a little partial to ours!

Anyways, as time has gone on, the idea has grown and our store has grown - and we are making lots and lots of VT gifts each month!  It is awesome to see so many sisters go out of their …
