My kids are POPULAR!!!
Their party calendar is out of control.
Which makes our schedule a bit wacky too.
I am always looking for ways to make it easier,
since I am perpetually disorganized and
scrambling to whip up gifts during naptimes.
In my mind I can make a matching card for each gift I give,
but in reality... not so much.
So, I had my fave custom stamp maker create a simple stamp
that I could slap on a tag on the way out the door.
Mind you, a hand dyed tag, because that's how I roll.
you will never leave them plain again.
Terbear has graciously offered one winner a
with their own custom wording.
I am going to throw in a pack of tags
for you to try your hand at dyeing with.

I love the custom stamps. I'm going to contact her to have one made for me. Thanks Julie!
ReplyDeleteI love the stamp! Very cute and a great idea. I had never even thought of dyeing tags and bags!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift to give is books. I love books, my kids love books and I want others to love them too!
My favorite gift to give are my clips and headbands - you know that already! I've given matching pieces to all of Skylar's girlfriends on their birthdays along with a personalized hair clip holder!
ReplyDeleteI love the bird on cherry blossom branch stamp. Something about all the sweet little bird stuff these days just gets me. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteCute giveaway! I love the "Whimsical birds in tree Mounted Rubber Stamp" from her store.
ReplyDeleteI love to give anything that I have made. Lately that has been a lot of hair clips for my daughter's friends or crayon rolls.
ReplyDeleteI love the custom return address stamp. that would be sooooo helpful.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift to give is a refabed shirt or anything with fun and vibrant fabric. I love to make nursing covers and give those as gift to expecting mommys.
ReplyDeleteI liked the Custom whimsical birds in tree Ex Libris, but the US Penitentery library(spelling????) was pretty funny too. Good idea Julie.
ReplyDelete1. I bought off of her before, I just love her stamps! I like the funny mail stamp the best!
ReplyDelete2. My favorite gifts to give away are homemade gifts!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway! Have a great weekend!
Favorite gift to include with a birthday gift is a $2 big bouncy ball for a boy. Of course that is not the only thing I give, but the ball works everytime. We seem to have only boys in our arena of friends, but the pink bouncy balls seem to have been a hit also with little girls.
ReplyDeleteI just blogged about the giveaway. Check it out!
ReplyDeleteCute. She sells a ton of stamps. Crazy. I envy people who can craft for a living. It's nutty - wish I could. Anyway, on a lighter note, Obama Yes We Can! Cute. There are more!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gifts are the ones I find on Etsy
ReplyDeleteI love love love the "this book belongs to" stamps.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift to give is... books :) I need a stamp with my sons name for his books and one with no name, so I can write in the name of who I give the books to!
ReplyDeleteThe Recycle Symbol Mounted Rubber Stamp is my must-have. :)
ReplyDeleteWhenever possible I like to give the gift of quality time, meaning time with the person (like a trip somewhere or a movie or lunch date), especially to children. Who needs more "stuff"? Time is something so valuable and not something you can return or have to get rid of at a yard sale down the road. :)
ReplyDeleteThere are so many to love. But I especially love the ones with the cute Art Bird on them. Darling :O)
ReplyDeleteFavorite gift. For girlies I love a cute pair of flip flops or a sweet necklace. And for the boys I love to give a surfer wallet (the old school rip wallet ones) with a few bucks in it. I have a few I keep in stock so it makes it easy when a birthday pops up.
ReplyDeletemy favorite item of hers is the "whimsical birds" stamp. it's SO adorable!
ReplyDeletemy favorite gift to give is hand/home made things. i especially like to make people food/baked goods as a gift. who doesn't love getting food? mmm.
ReplyDeletei just blogged about it! not on my blogger though, on my wordpress:
ReplyDeletemegelin.wordpress.com
and i twittered it. i am following you on twitter so you should be able to see it. my twitter name is megelin :)
ReplyDeleteI like the "snail mail" stamp too cute!
ReplyDeleteIs it your girls that are popular or the fantastic gifts you make for them to take to their friends that are so popular . . . . . hmmmmm!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gifts to give are the handmade ones. For new babies, I love to give blankets and toys and lovies! I think it means a lot when you take the time to make something special by hand.
ReplyDeleteCupcake Cuppy just tweeted about the giveaway!!!
ReplyDeletePosted the giveaway on my facebook fanpage: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kaneohe-HI/Yummy-Cuppy-Crafts/79076454388?ref=mf
ReplyDeleteMy favorite item in the shop.... the sock monkey kits! How fun would that be to do with your kids!!!
ReplyDeleteHi~ Hard to pick a favorite but I really like the snail mail stamp and the vintage sewing machine stamp. Her fabric is great too!
ReplyDeleteMy fav gift to give is baked goods: cookies, cheesecakes, brownies...and next I will be trying your cupcakes in a jar!
ReplyDeleteI really like the custom stamps... the "art bird thank you" is adorable!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift to give is always something I'd love to receive! I love giving handmade, especially when it's made by my own hands!:)
ReplyDeleteI am new to thing, but LOVE your give-aways. I especially like them because they get me to look at other etsy shops that you like...I so far I like all you do! Similar interests!!
ReplyDeleteI am going to order personalized address stamps as wedding gifts! What a unique item I know they will love, especially when they have just bought their first house!! I love to give gifts "outside the box" and unique!
I love the kool-aide idea, too. Thanks and KEEP SHARING!
What a great idea to making birthday gift giving easier. My fav gifts to give are arts & craft supplies. My fav stamp in terbearco's shop is the Custom whimsical birds in tree Ex Libris Mounted Rubber Stamp Bookplate. I have a lot of books and enjoy loaning them out. This stamp would be cute to remind people who it belongs too.
ReplyDeleteI love the ladybug. So cute!
ReplyDeleteI love to give just about anything handmade. I am constantly collecting tutorials and trying my hand at something new.
ReplyDeleteOk, I checked out her etsy site - there are so many cute things it's hard to decide on just one favorite, but I think it's either the cupcake birthday stamp or the sanddollar stamp. :)
ReplyDelete...and my favorite gift to give? Something personalized, with either a name or monogram. (And I like to receive those types of gift, too!)
ReplyDeleteI have to pick a favorite? The hippy me loves the "peace now" - then I saw the little thinking elephant. She's got some beautiful bird stamps too, but the matryoshka's caught my eye too!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to give... something handmade of course. :) Lately that seems to be table runners & wall hangings for my mom & MIL and monogrammed/ personalized clothes for kids.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I'm stealing this from you for future use.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite item is the Custom Apron Hand Made by Mounted Rubber Stamp. That would be great for craft projects.
My favorite item is the bird on a cherry tree blossom stamp, cute!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift to give right now is a sand bucket full of sand toys (we know lots of little kids turning 1 or 2!) I use the bucket as the gift packaging and just fill it with the toys and tissue paper. I also use stickers to put each kid's own name on their bucket. So far they've been a hit!
ReplyDeleteHow am I supposed to choose only one favorite?! Well, I can't so I chose two. First, the custom barcode stamp. I make a lot of cupcakes, and I'd LOVE to be able to stamp that on a cute sticker or a card attached. And second, the darling reversible purse! The fabric was gorgeous, simple yet beautiful. I might just have to order both, we'll see :-)

PS I realize I have no shame when all of my entries are right in a row...
I love the family tree stamp! So cute!
ReplyDeleteI love giving random gifts like bird feeders or weird puzzles. i figure that everyone else will give them the more traditional gifts, so i try to give things that they would otherwise not get.
ReplyDeleteShe has so many to choose from! After looking through 25 pages (love, love, love) I think I want the Custom Ex Libris This Book Belongs To Mounted Rubber Stamp Bookplate frog on bicycle for a boy... My son loves frogs and he has a ton of books, so it's perfect!
ReplyDeleteI give frames. I find frames at yard sales and thrift stores and bring them home and give them some love (painting, sanding, embellishing) and then gift them out with a lovely print. I always give them permission to use the frame on something else though.
ReplyDeleteI love the Anatomic Heart Illustration Mounted Rubber Stamp.

I love to give baskets full of goodies!

I have loved this shop for so long! She keeps so many items in her shop. Right now my favorite item is the Peace Love Recycle stamp. :)
ReplyDeleteFavorite gift to give...hmmmm. That's a tough one. Depends on who is receiving it I guess. For the kiddos I love buying a fun toy and then wrapping it up with one of my hair accessories and a bow. Looks so happy on the package.
ReplyDeleteReally any gift that is wrapped up really great makes me smile :)
She has such beautiful stamps! I love the family tree stamp... what a neat idea!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gifts to give are things that are personalized. I love monogramed items (cups, bags, fabric...)!

ReplyDeleteI usually go on kicks with gift giving. If I have enough time in advance, I LOVE to go the etsy route. For kids birthdays, I have several Bella Tunno Laminated Smocks on hand for both genders, and we like to combine them with various art or cooking supplies.

ReplyDeleteFUN!! I just adore that stamp!! So cute!! She has tons of neat ones...love the sock monkey, the birds, the camera...I couldn't choose one!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift to give? For boys, games. I am big into games right now. Huntler loves Eye Spy Bingo so that has been the recent game to gift!
ReplyDeleteNow for girls...it is all about the fun stuff!! Headbands, personalized bloomers or burp cloths, tutus, bow boards...fun girly things!!
I would love an address stamp or a gift giving stamp. The peacock was very cute too.
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to give the initial stamp with an address for a bridal shower gift. Lots of wedding coming up this summer. Another fav gift to give is well anything from etsy that you can make custom with your own colors/fabrics.
ReplyDeletegoing to blog about it right now!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the smiling cupcacke!! So cute:)

ReplyDeleteSo many cute stamps- I love the family tree one with the family names round it

ReplyDeleteOh I love her shop!
ReplyDeleteI have a custom "PamperingBeki" stamp from her that I use to stamp my bags for craft shows.
I love the square custom retun address stamp. I've been wanting something like it, but the only ones I'd found so far were so expensive. Thanks for intorducing us to such a great (and affordable) site!

I love the family tree stamp!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite gift to give is handmade. Especially handmade things for my kiddos.
ReplyDeleteI also dig the custom stamps! So cute... though that vintage postcard one calls out to me too...
ReplyDeleteWhat great products and smart thinking about the stamp thing (as I made yet another custom card minutes before a suprise party this afternoon!) :)
As far as what I love to give away... something that speaks to that particular person when at all possible. And something personalized... whether the real deal monograming, paint marker, applique, hot glued initials... you get the pic.
ReplyDeleteBest of all is if the gift is handmade by me or by someone who I know the receiver will appreciate!
favorite gift to give: homemade baked goodies.
ReplyDeleteI like the book template stamps. Is it possible to win two prizes from your blog?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift to give is a book, or books. I like to use the list out of the back of "Honey for a Child's Heart." The list is broken up by age, and is about a hundred pages long...awesome book.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE stamps. I am a teacher, so I have a big stamp collection....probably over 40 different stamps. But, I would love a custom one! She has some great stamps in her store, so even if I don't win the giveaway, i will probably buy a couple. My favorite stamps she has in her store are:
ReplyDelete1. Address Stamps
2. the cupcake stamp you have
3. the "this book belongs to" stamps.
Oh yeah, and my favorite gift to give at baby showers & birthday parties is books! For one of my baby showers, the hostess told people to bring a book in lieu of a card (if they wanted to). I have a love of reading, and my girls have an incredible book collection already because so many friends gave us books!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I hear ya on the birthday parties...my girls are 8 months & 2 years old. Since January, we have already been to 10 birthday parties (all for kids 3 and under)!!!!! ahhhh!!!!! It is only May!!! We have a bunch coming up this summer also....I am going to go broke from buying birthday presents. I really need to learn how to sew :)
I think I love the handcrafted ones where I could put my own saying and own little picture. But man, I really love them all! What a fabulous idea!! I really love this one you are giving away because it is the perfect way to tag a birthday gift. Love the idea.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift to give is often a cranyon roll with some fun craft paper. Otherwise I love tutus to girls or capes for boys. But, sometimes I am horrible and just buy a fun gift. I know . . . boring. It really all depends on how much time I have.
ReplyDeleteI Love all the rubber stamps! I think my favorite one is is the lady bug book stamp. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite gift to give is something personalized. I always give my grown-up friend tervis tumblers with their names on them. They are great cups that keep your drink cold and they do not sweat!!! For my kids friends I have been giving beach towels with the child's name monogrammed on it. Sooooo cute!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat great stamps and what a great idea - love it! My favourite gift to give is easy - something homemade!!! Even the fussiest recipient will love some homebaked cookies and a hand-crafted card, love it if my girls get involved too with making the gift xx
ReplyDeleteI think I need to order cute "this book belongs to.." stamps for all the gals in my book club.

Cheers, Kiy
My favorite gift to give is foster care at our daughter's orphanage. She was in foster care and we love being able to pay it back. We donate in honor of the person receiving the gift, they then get a handmade card and quarterly updates on the child/children. So sweet, so personal and no buying of needless things to fill up a house!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Kiy

ReplyDeleteMy fav (baby) gift to give is custom made burp cloths. I received some when our son was born, LOVED them, and have given them as baby gifts a gazillion times since then.

I love her stamps! I had 3 favorites, the lady bug "book belongs to" custom stamp, the large Hershey Kiss and I thought the wide open mouth one was funny. My favorite gift to give is probably either a handmade scrapbook (with or without pictures) or I seem to be giving a lot of baby blankets lately...something in the water;)
