"Whoever said money can't buy happiness, simply didn't know where to go shopping."  Bo Derek

Not sure what to get?  Here's a little help.

Gifts for Expectant Moms:

• Monogrammed diaper bags make great baby shower gifts.
• Not into traditional diaper bags?  Try a Stephen Joseph Quilted Backpack - works as a diaper bag now, preschool bag later.
• Mini Market Baskets are perfect for baby toys or to hold diapers and wipes.

Gifts for Bridal Party:

• Monogrammed market baskets make great personalized gifts.
• Mix and match or buy all the same - great for maids and matrons.
• Trying for functional and personalized? Try a monogrammed lunch bag.

Gifts for Kids:

• Quilted backpacks
• Matching purse, lunchbox or backpack sets are great for birthdays or holidays.
• Cook sets and quilted aprons are a perfect gift from Grandma.
• Preschoolers love mini versions of Mom's bags - small polka dot tote, mini market baskets.
• Lunch bags of all colors and styles.

Miscellaneous Gift Ideas:

• Get a mini market tote and fill it with wine, cheese, crackers and wine. Give it to the friend who is most likely to share said contents.
• Order a quilted backpack for a friend who's expecting a baby - fill with individually wrapped useful items (wipes, cream, onesies, etc); and be the coolest friend at the baby shower.
• Shopping for an older friend or relative who already has too many things? Get a monogrammed tote and fill it with groceries. They can reuse the tote for their shopping trips and you've just helped them save on their grocery bill!
• Invited to an ugly Christmas sweater party? Get a custom jingle belles tutu, wear it with your ugly sweater, and you'll be fighting them off under the mistletoe.
• Getting married soon? Matching (or non-matching) personalized mini market totes make outstanding gifts for your attendants.
• Have a niece or nephew to shop for this year? Personalize a monkey or ladybug lunchbox and prove to your sister or brother that you are and will always be cooler than they are.
• Stumped about what type of gift to get your kid's teacher? Personalized Mini Market Totes make outstanding teacher gifts.
• Have a little gymnast or ballerina in the family? Polka dots tote bags (small and large) are perfect ballet and gymnastics bags. Not to mention, you're less likely to lose it if it's got your name on it.
• Know someone who is just starting out in the work world? Get them an adorable monogrammed big kid lunch bag so the office bullies won't steal it.
• Not sure what to get your wife or girlfriend? Order a monogrammed market basket and fill it with her favorite things - even as pedestrian as her particular type of shampoo/conditioner. Trust me, the thoughtful gesture will not go unnoticed.
• Divorced or seperated Dad? Order a quilted backpack with your child's name on it, and when you give it to him or her, tell them it's their own special bag they can use when they're coming to Dad's house. Special bag, special Dad, special kid.
• Still in hot water over buying that leaf blower for your wife's birthday? Order a monogrammed eco-cooler, then stick a nice piece of jewelry inside. You get to play a joke on your wife, and score points for awesomeness - it's a win win situation.
• Have a kid in college, and not sure what to get her for Christmas (besides college tuition)? Order a monogrammed market basket and fill it with daily staples such as shampoo, conditioner, quarters for the laundry machine, Top Ramon, Mac & Cheese, etc.
• Or better yet, get her a spa towel wrap - so she's not tempted to walk to the showers in her birthday suit!
• Tired of the Christmas card pile-up? Order a festive market tote and use it to organize your holiday cards and pictures.
• Have a friend who is a super football fan? Get an embroidered quilted football purse with their favorite team name and coordinating ribbons. And just for fun, stick a couple of bottles of wine in it.
• Know a Mom who is going back to work after maternity leave? We have great (fashionable) lunch bags that are perfect for keeping milk cool during the work day - and not as obvious as the giant pump she'll also have to carry around.
• Not sure what to get your niece of nephew? An adorable quilted backpack filled with books and craft stuff should win you Best Aunt Ever spot.

• Have a Mini Me at home? Try a monogrammed quilted purse or a mini market tote, and watch her (or him) have hours of fun pretending to go shopping, run errands, etc.
• This one is good for elderly friends, college students, or new moms: Get a market basket and fill it with those Dinner's Ready, Super Supper, What's for Dinner meals.
• Have a little (or big) Lego fanatic on your hands? Get a mini market tote for easy cleanup - in a container that won't make you crazy.
• Get a market basket for yourself, and use it to deliver plates of food to Shut-ins.
