We have shipped our last holiday shipment and are ready to start our own celebrations!

Our next shipment will be Friday, December 26, 2003.

Enjoy the holidays and please visit us for all the special occasions that the new year will bring.

We normally ship by United States Postal Service (USPS), either First Class or Priority Mail depending on the package weight. The post office is recommending a switch to Express Mail service on Monday December 22, 2003 for shipments that need to arrive by Christmas.

If you are ordering for Christmas after Friday December 19, 2003, we recommend that you add our Express Mail Shipping Upgrade to your cart. This will add $12.00 to the normal shipping amounts calculated by PayPal. You need to do this only ONCE for your entire order! If you do not do this, we will ship by our usual methods.

Our deadline for Christmas orders is Tuesday December 23, 2003. We will be making our last shipment early on Christmas eve. The post office will be making Express Mail deliveries to some areas on Christmas day, so these packages COULD still make it on time!

We are pleased to offer our new Holiday Gift Bag in red organza decorated with green satin roses and a bow. You can select this bag as an option on any of our Jewelry items that include an organza bag.

We also offer the Gift Bags as an option on our other small items. Just select the bag you'd like and include a note when you check out to let us know which item to put inside. There is no shipping charge for the bag if you are purchasing additonal items.

Our Custom Bag options are perfect for weddings, party favors, or bridal and baby showers. You can select the perfect color combination to match your event and ship as many as you like for only $4.00. If you require large quantities, please order early so that we can order additional supplies if necessary to complete your order.

We have added a trio of snowman gift sets to our catalog. Choose your favorite style of snowman mug -- they are all microwavable and dishwasher safe! Each mug comes filled with the ingredients for "Snowman Soup," guaranteed to keep the holiday spirit strong throughout the winter months ahead. Best of all, each gift set comes ready to give -- wrapped in blue tissue and placed in a snowflake gift bag.

We are very happy to announce that our catalog now supports browsing by category. You can access the category links in the top box in the column at the left of every page.
