Unique Store-My Embroidered Gifts.com



MyEmbroideredGifts.com is a mom owned and operated business offering a wide range of personalized embroidered gifts. They offer personalized embroidered gifts for baby, siblings, mom, dad and grandparents.

Some events in life require a personalized gift. Gifts that signify a special occasion and commemorate the event. Debra, from My Embroidered Gifts understands that. She is a wife and mom of two boys who started My Embroidered Gifts when she realized how much she enjoyed making personalized gifts and wanted to share that gift with others. The best part, she does custom orders! Just tell her what you think you need and the event and she will help!

Whatever the occasion, My Embroidered Gifts has the special item for the event. New baby arrival? How about one of the personalized blankets?

Monkey Magoo is a cute 18 inch plush monkey with Velcro grips on his hands and feet. He comes to you gripping a cute banana gift box. Inside the box is a creamy-soft 30” x 36” mellow-yellow fleece blanket embroidered with a cute image of Monkey Magoo! You can personalize the blanket with and embroidered name to make it extra-special. Embroidery of the name will be done in brown to match the monkey unless otherwise requested.


Or the "Welcome Home Baby" Layette Set. 
This cute "Welcome Home Baby!" Layette Set includes a long-sleeve, blue night gown, night cap and a pair of booties—all with white trim accented with tiny, black polka dots. Each item is made of soft, machine-washable, 100% cotton. To make this gift extra-special it comes packages in a charming, blue "house" gift box has a door with a "Welcome Home Baby!" sign hung on the window with a satin bow, a mailbox that says "Special Delivery," colorful flowers, grass and green shrubs, a bumblebee, two side windows—one with a flower-filled window box—and a black-and-white-striped roof with a round window on each end. Available in size 0-6 months, the gown may be embroidered with a first name.

There are many useful daily items, as well. How about this fabulous diaper clutch:


Whatever the occasion, she is sure to have something appropriate!

With a new baby on the way, I am always looking for items to help me through my day. However, attempting to stay within budget makes it even harder. When I found the Snuggle Me Cushion, I knew instantly it would be perfect for my new baby!
When I saw it on the site I thought it was a great idea but when it arrived in the mail, I was extremely surprised by the quality! The Snuggle Me Cushion is designed to give your baby a gentle hug, keeping them more content when not in mommy's arms. This amazing pillow features a non-padded center sling area and when baby is placed on it the sides pull up to snuggle baby. The Snuggle Me Cushion comes with a polyester fleece cover that is so soft, in ivory, pink or blue. The cushion is 100% washable! I was pleasantly surprised! Since my new little one has not arrived yet, I tested my pillow when my friend brought her 1 month old over. Baby Victoria loved the Snuggle Me Cushion. It was like a gentle hug around her! If you do not have one, I highly recommend it!

{Book Tour} Sin Undone






August 24, 2010







  • Read an Excerpt
  • Larissa's Interactive Desk

  • HER TOUCH IS DEADLY
    As the only female Seminus demon ever born, master assassin Sinead Donnelly is used to being treated like an outcast. She spent decades enslaved, and now vows she’ll die before she’ll relinquish her freedom again. Then Sin’s innate ability to kill her enemies goes awry: She creates a lethal new werewolf virus that sparks a firestorm of panic and violence.
    HIS HUNGER CAN’T BE DENIED
    Half-werewolf, half-vampire Conall Dearghul is charged with bringing in Sin to face punishment for the plague. And she’s no stranger: He’s bound to her by blood, and the one sexual encounter they shared has left him hungering for her raw sensuality. Worse, Sin is the underworld’s most wanted and Con soon learns he’s the only one who can help her . . . and that saving her life might mean sacrificing his own.








    After reading the other books in the Demonica series, my expectations for Sin Undone were quite high. I am pleased to say that it met my high expectations. Larissa Ione has built a wonderful series that has kept us wanting more. In this series, the Seminus demon we're following along with is female, the only Seminus demon female ever born. Sinead "Sin" Donelly has fast become my favorite character and is the ultimate romance novel heroine. 

    If you have not read the first four books in the series, I highly recommend them. Yet, Sin Undone is an excellent stand-alone novel.

    The Frog Pod Makes Bathtime Fun! {Review & Giveaway}

    Winner:
    diapermommy



    The Frog Pod® helps with children’s bath time clean-up, providing a drainable scoop for collecting and rinsing toys and a wall-mounted base for storing bath products. The Frog Pod® attaches semi-permanently to virtually any bathtub wall with adhesive strips that can be removed without harming tile or wall surfaces. Alternatively, the Frog Pod® can be screw-mounted to any wall.

    Boon Frog Pod - By The Numbers


    Dimensions: 19" x 16 1/2" x 7"Recommended ages: All ages
    Boon Frog Pod - Features







    • Makes bath time clean-up fun & easy
    • Stores & organizes bath accessories
    • Reduces mold & mildew


    The Frog Pod and the Bug Pod both attach to the bathtub wall with either super-strong adhesive strips (holds 10 pounds)  or screws (holds 20 pounds). You may choose which option to use. They also offer a suction cup option as well as a silicone adhesive option, both sold separately.







    The Boon Frog Pod has some useful and practical features. First, the Frog Pod has a shelf that holds your child's body soap and
    shampoo.


    The feet hold your bath scrubbers and bath toys with strings. 


    The handy scoop easily removes and allows you to scoop the toys into the scoop, while draining the water. You can also rinse the toys under the faucet to be sure none of the dirt from the bath remains on the toys.

    My Thoughts








    With a full time job, a 2 hour a day commute and a family, I always looking for ways to get better organized and items that can help make the house run smoother. I have seen Boon products in Target and love how colorful their products are and have seen wonderful reviews within the blogger community, but had yet to give any of their products a try. I was extremely excited for the opportunity to work with such a highly regarded company and get to test one of their wonderful products, especially the Frog Pod! 

    Having reviewed the Frog Pod, I understand the love for their creative products. Their product designs show their love for modern design and color.

    With children, we are all more concerned with the products we allow into our home and to come in contact with our children. You can  feel secure with Boon. Boon products are bpa, phthalate and pvc free.  








    To Buy or Not to Buy

    To Buy… I was quite pleased with the ingenious idea behind the Boon Frog Pod! It attaches easily, remains on the wall, and has so many practical uses, all while being adorable and colorful! 

    Or Not to Buy… I like the sleek, modern, colorful look of the Frog Pod, and it’s roomy scoop, however, you may like the ugly netted bags with hooks and the various other not so attractive bath toy corrals. 

    Shop! The Boon Frog Pod  is available at one of these fine retailers:
    TargetBabies R UsBuy Buy BabyBabyDepotTargetTarget
    They also have a convenient lookup to find a store near you that carries Boon.

    SINS THAT CAN’T BE FORGIVEN

    Tristan MacGregor is famed throughout the Highlands as a silver-tongued seducer and an unrepentant rogue. Bold and charming, he’s dallied with many women, yet none as beguiling and mysterious as the lass he steals a kiss from at the king’s court. Little does he know this beauty is one of his clan’s greatest enemies.

    Isobel Fergusson has despised the bloodthirsty MacGregors ever since they murdered her father. When she learns the handsome stranger who melted her resistance is a MacGregor, she vows to forget him. But Tristan means to possess her at any cost and Isobel’s body turns traitor at his touch. Can a man she’s sworn to hate be the only one she can ever love?
