Kids' Gifts
Part I

As most of you may know by now, the fabulous Victorias1911 {Purple/Damask Bride} recently opened an Etsy Shop.

Well, I have bought some of her beautiful wedding items from her in the past, & decided to pay her a visit to see if she could help me put a gift together for my two oldest neices (ages 10 & 12). They will not be in the wedding, but will be with me in the Bridal Suite as I get ready for the big day. They mean very much to me, & wanted a special gift that I know they'd love.

To better explain, my neices love all things girly. Lip gloss, pretty paper, ink pens, compact mirrors, the works. Well, Amanda (Victorias1911) took my request to build a suitcase for my budget & desires, & she took off running with it! She has added vanilla scented cupcake candles, damask ink pens, damask bubble wands, bling picture frames, fruity Tic Tacs, deoderant, Bath & Body Works hand sanitizer, just to name a few things!! She put my words on a damask note & customized both suitcases with a damask name tag. I am going to throw in a Target gift card for each of them, & their gifts are done. Oh, & Amanda is also ordering some Hello Kitty notepads for their boxes :) I think I'm going to be more excited than my neices, lol!

I mainly went with the Bride's Survival Kit concept, & made it more for my neices. Amanda outdid herself with this, because I can truly say that she did a lot of the legwork that I would expect to do myself for the girls that I love so much. If interested in your own "build a box", check her out! She is fast & awesome.

Only two words:  Love.  It.

Well, more than two....Can I please be one of your neices?  I think that this isn't just a cutesy gift, it is incredibly thoughtful for you & your Husband to do, thinking of the many things that the girls would like.  Hats off to Victorias1911.  I will have to visit her shop!

For anyone else that is interested, I can custom make the kits for whatever you'd like. The prices vary to fit your needs as well. I just sold seven cases with only the tissues and bling tags!  :)
