Season of Giving Day 23: The Swiss Colony

By Summer,

The Swiss Colony is a family owned on-line store; I know them best for their desserts – cakes, candies, chocolates, and sugar free – though they offer cheeses, meats, nuts for food items, and also offer clothing and home gift items as well. This year The Swiss Colony is celebrating 85 years!

Got a party or want to send a cute dessert? The Swiss Colony can help with that! Send or bring their 72 Petits Fours which include 12 Royal Vanilla, 12 Carrot Spice, 12 Strawberry Shortcake, 12 Lemon Mist, 12 Red Velvet, and 12 Chocolate Fudge mini cakes. What a tasty, cute way to impress anyone. The 72 Petits Fours cost $29.95.Swiss Colony Gingerbread House

Right now when you purchase the 72 Petit Fours The Swiss Colony will donate a gingerbread house with some added candies to the National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions, Inc. [NACHRI] for delivery to a hospitalized child in need of holiday cheer. NACHRI and The Swiss Colony also work together to have the gingerbread house delivered to a child in a hospital in your area; I love that gifts stay local! The Swiss Colony has had this program for 20 years now and has donated more than 200,000 houses. Each recipient of the 72 Petits Fours will also receive a thank you card from the gifting hospital to the gingerbread house donation.

The 72 Petits Four would complete any spread: on a tiered tray for desserts at a baby shower or tea party, bring them to book club, use them as a lunchbox surprise dessert for your spouse or children, eat one (or three) as a daily reward to yourself when your child is in a nap, or wish your colleagues a happy holiday season.Swiss Colony logo

Personalized Mothers and Fathers Day Gifts by Initials Giveaway

Initials, inc, a wonderful company that personalizes all items that are sold. Initials sent me a huge tote that I was able to personalize. I love it! It is so big it could hold one of the kids. Look at it:

 

Initials

It’s almost as big as the chair! I put Mom Start on it in big pink letters. It’s my only personalized bag and I can’t wait to tote it around at conferences and at the beach when I go visit my mom in Florida this year. Woo Hoo, I’m going to be on the beach.

The kids have already put some toys in it.

Part of the appeal of Initials is that they are a company that moms can work part time. It’s like Party-Lite, you can throw parties to sell the bags, and other personalized items. I mean, the items pretty much sell themselves because of how cute they are. The fonts are adorable and add just the right touch to pretty much any regular item.

A little bit about Initials, Inc:

Initials, Inc. was founded by Sisters – Britney Vickery and Ivy Hall shortly after becoming SAHM’s. During that time they loved being home with their children but found that they were seeking three things; to be challenged creatively, to have time around other adults and to be able to contribute financially to their homes…but they didn’t want to give up time with their young families to get it. Initials, Inc. was created to meet those needs as women and new mothers. Over time, they quickly realized that the solution that they created for themselves could be a blessing to other women. Initials, Inc. officially launched in February 2005. Today, Initials, Inc. is national in scope and is supporting women and families all across the country through home parties selling their customer designed personalized treasures!

-We believe, “There’s Only One You!” and that is embodied by the products and opportunities offered to our customers and our Creative Partners.
