Sympathy Cookie Cake

Princess Diana - November 20, 2019 - Condolence, Congratulations, Food & Drinks

There are entire businesses built around giving cookie cakes to celebrate special occasions.

I remembers as a tween when I suddenly became too cool for a birthday cake. Instead, I wanted a giant cookie cake from Great American Cookies (from the mall!) for my birthday party.

The cookie business has evolved since then. Now you can order someone a Sympathy Cookie Cake.

Maybe you know someone who had an accident, who lost a pet, who lost a job, who had a bad breakup, or who is going through a difficult time overall.

A Sympathy Cookie Cake might be the perfect gift to show someone you care while cheering them up.

When my friend, Vahid, broke his elbow long-boarding, his employees surprised him at the office with a mini cookie cake from Insomnia Cookies.

Daddy’s First Milestones | Beer Bottle Sticker Labels

Princess Diana - June 6, 2018 - Baby Shower, Father's Day, Food & Drinks

Simple. Funny. Tasty. This Father’s Day gift or baby shower gift has it all.

This gift celebrates Daddy’s First Milestones when it comes to his new baby by giving him a personalized six-pack of his favorite beer.

Daddy’s First Milestones Gift

The Daddy’s First Milestones beer bottle sticker label kit celebrates six milestones which are:

Time He Gets Peed On
Time Alone With the Baby
Diaper Explosion
Baby On the Move
Date Night
Guys Night Out

Every time he achieves one of the milestones, he gets to crack open one of his favorite beers!

The stickers are hilarious. For example, the sticker for Time He Gets Peed On reads:

Some things are just out of your control–like the weather, your favorite team’s winning record, and most importantly, your child’s bladder. Congratulations, you got peed on and are now officially a dad!

Go Ahead… Crack Open a Beer.

Unique Custom Painted Shoes

Princess Diana - April 25, 2018 - Birthday, Christmas, Gifts for Me, Graduation, Kids, Retirement

Do you have Hamilton fever? I haven’t seen the musical yet, but I’m obsessed with the soundtrack.

I have my niece, J’menii, to thank for getting me hooked on Hamilton.

This same young lady has a thing for Converse sneakers. I’m not exaggerating when I say she has more than 10 pairs of Converse shoes in her closet. All colors. The girl even wore a pair with her formal dress to high school prom!

J’menii is graduating from high school this year so I decided on a graduation gift that combined her two obsessions and I ended up with Hamilton-themed Custom Painted Converse Shoes!

Custom Hand Painted Shoes

For the shoes, I had an artist paint them gold and black with a couple of logos. Then I had the artist paint phrases from the musical to inspire my niece to kick butt in college and to achieve her goals in life!

The outside right shoe features the Hamilton logo with the words “I’m not throwing away my shot.” The outside left shoe features a silhouette of the Schuyler sisters with the words “Rise Up.”

The inside left shoe reads, “There’s a million things I haven’t done.” The inside right shoe reads “Just you wait…”

Personalized Toy Basket

Princess Diana - March 6, 2018 - $20 or Less, Kids

Toy baskets are a parent’s best friend…

Because they spend so much of their time picking up toys off the floor. Again and again and again.

Someone has to pick up those 50 Hot Wheels cars and those 150 pieces of Mega Bloks. Yes, I make my kids help me a lot of the time but sometimes it’s just faster and easier to do it myself.

Toy baskets make it easy for parents (and kids) to clean up from room to room and the pretty baskets make cute storage space.

Their open top makes it simple to take things in and out, and they’re light enough even the kids can move them around. They can be filled with anything from large wooden toys to soft stuffed animals. They are just so convenient!

Life with children is a beautiful mess and toy baskets make it cleaner and more organized.

A gift I like to give for baby showers and kids’ birthdays is a Personalized Toy Basket with a child’s name on it. I make them myself and you can too!

Custom Throw Pillows Add Personal Touch

Princess Diana - February 8, 2018 - Birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, Gifts for Me, Housewarming, Mother's Day, Retirement, Valentine's Day

I love how throw pillows can make a creative statement on a sofa, chair or bed.

They’re almost like “pillow art” because they come in so many unique designs, colors and textures!

Give Custom Throw Pillows

But did you know it’s easy to create your own custom, personalized throw pillows for yourself or as a gift?

There are so many websites that allow you to select the image, text, font, color, fabric, etc. so you can really make them one-of-a-kind.

Do you have favorite photos? Favorite sayings, quotes or scriptures? A special date? A unique message?

When you put it on a custom throw pillow, you can see it every day!

Namesake Keepsake Ornament

Princess Diana - December 19, 2017 - Christmas

For me, one of my favorite parts of having children is picking baby names.

Boy did I have fun with it! Especially with my sons’ middle names.

My oldest son, Aiden, was born in 2012 during the Year of the Dragon so his middle name became Dragen. For my youngest son, Axl, I picked King because dragons and kings always appear together in stories… and it’s just sounds cool!

Keepsake Ornament Christmas Gift

I believe every kid should have their own special ornament on the Christmas tree so for both of my boys I gave them Namesake Keepsake Ornaments.

Hanging on our Christmas tree is a dragon ornament for Aiden and a crown ornament for Axl.

Custom Birthday Plate | Fun Tradition

Princess Diana - June 20, 2017 - Birthday, Kids

We all want to feel special on our birthday. Sometimes it’s the little things that make us feel EXTRA special.

Like getting to use a personalized birthday plate while every else uses paper plates.

Kids will especially love this tradition. All year long, they will anticipate getting to eat a big slice of cake on their custom birthday plate.

Think of the fond childhood memories this fun tradition will create!

This perfect birthday gift can be used year after year to celebrate someone’s special day.
