Valentine Gift Ideas

I know it can be overwhelming to shop for a Valentine's gift, but for the next day or two, I've decided to give you a few ideas. You don't have much time left - so here we go!

Men, If you give your wife or gf perfume, chocolates, a massage etc....try adding in a little something extra to the mix such as an art print from my Made By Girl shop, a gorgeous card from Paperless Post or some cute stickers from Paper-Source! These are just thought ful extras she'll love! 

Ladies.... you can also do the same for your honey......it's not just men doing the gifting, you know?!

DESIGN: HOLIDAY GIFTING

Hello there MBG readers! It's Lisa from Gem Daily with another dose of decor, especially for this freezing cold gift giving holiday season upon us.  I am one of those holiday gift givers that really loves to hunt for the perfect gift for someone and I really really love to gift wrap! There are so many amazing options out there that can transform a BORING present to something so PRETTY and unique that the recipient won't even want to open it up!

I especially love when the gift wrap isn't so literal and in-your-face holiday, like the super trendy marbled paper or a polka-dotted bow. As long as the components of your gift wrap are in holiday colors, you can totally pull together a combination that looks complete and finished.

Next time you grab that old roll of wrapping paper covered in candy canes and Christmas trees, splurge on some funky ribbon or bold glittered box to take your gift to the next level! xoxo

New Stationery by Jen Ramos

Sooooo excited to go back to my roots. What am I talking about? Well, when I first started MADE BY GIRL - I launched my business making note cards & greeting cards. Then a short time later, I removed them from my shop and to concentrate art prints.  Today.... I'm excited to announce to the return of my very own stationery!  This has been a dream of mine for quite some time and today it has come true.  Now, this is only the beginning, but the inspiration for this stationery is drawn from my artwork at Cocoa & Hearts.  They are printed on a high-end 110lb double thick card stock -  top quality!

My dream of course doesn't stop here, I'd love to eventually get my cards into stores all over the world. Of course, Paper Source is the ultimate spot. Why? Because it's in NYC & I pass the store every weekend & just love it!  Then of course, Kate's Paperie.

Are you a buyer or a retail store owner? 

If you think you'd be interested in carrying the cards, email us.  In the meanwhile, they are officially available for purchase in my shop: MADE BY GIRL.  So grateful to God for this...more designs to come!
