I’m way behind on my gifting right now. It seems like I went to at least 10 weddings over the summer. And then there were all those new babies. And housewarmings. And all of a sudden – I’ve got a shopping list as long as my arm. Anyway, I was window surfing for ideas for some of my overdue gifts and stumbled upon the stunning Dale Tiffany Granite Stone Glass Vase icon at LightingbyGregory.com.

An Unusual and Perfect Wedding Gift

Posted in Art Glass, Elegant Gifts, Shopping Tips, Wedding Gifts at 1:02 am by Deb Savvy

Sometimes it’s really hard to come up with a memorable wedding gift.  This is particularly if the bride and groom are a bit older and better established – it’s not as if they need towels or a toaster anymore.  And I think a really great wedding gift is memorable.  Something just unusual enough that the happy couple will always remember where it came from yet not so unusual to be quirky or kitschy.  I also think a perfect wedding gift must be elegant, romantic and symbolic of the occasion. 

 

Like this “Happiness Vase” -by artist Richard S. Jones. Blown glass is hand painted with the Chinese characters for happiness in enamel and silver leaf. The vase measures about 6 inches across and 8 inches high so it will hold a nice sized bouquet or make a lovely imression on it’s own. I think it would be nice with some black river rocks and a few sprays of orchids. Wow! It’s $250 at Artful Home where you can shop the largest selection of contemporary art glass online.  Explore an incredible selection of art glass vases and other perfect gifts for weddings and just about any other occasion. Prices begin at well under $100 for art glass and other gifts.

Beatiful Flowers Deserve A Beautiful Vase

Posted in Art Glass, Crystal and Glass, Gallery Shopping, Gifts under $50, Housewarming Gifts, Unique Items, Wedding Gifts at 9:06 pm by Deb Savvy

I’ve been shopping for a perfect little gift for some friends of mine who recently moved into a new home and announced their much awaited engagement.  They are both hip and stylish and artsy.  They totally fall into that ‘people who are impossible to shop for’ category, so I’ve been surfing some of my favorite sites for Gallery Shopping and found this gorgeous Belle Fleur Handblown Vase

 

Nothing short of spectacular! Modern in shape and design with a definite retro feel at the same time. The patterns in the dots are based on antique botanical prints and vintage fabrics. The effect is truly magical! The vase is almost a foot tall and six inches wide. The bottom is well weighted so the vase can easily support even the largest and tallest bouguets.

Gold Bowl 125x125

Best of all – it’s only $49.95 at Isabella Catalog.  They’ve got a great selection of unusual art glass and wonderful, inspirational, artistic gifts perfect for weddings, engagements, housewarmings and just about any gifting occassion.

Say It With Bubbles

Posted in Business Gifts, Corporate Gifts, Elegant Gifts, Fun Ideas, Wedding Gifts, Wine at 1:52 am by Deb Savvy

Champagne is the perfect symbol of celebration and makes a terrific gift for many occasions.  It’s more festive than a bottle of wine or gift basket.  A great bottle of champagne urges the recipient to do one of two things – either pop the cork immediately and celebrate or plan a special celebratory evening around the champagne.  Either way, you’ve provided the backbone for a lovely little party.  For a great selection of champagne gifts or to send a bottle of champagne, check out this specialist in bubbly.  Cheers!


Champagne can be a great gift choice for clients and colleages.  Also a wonderful wedding or engagement gift.

A Perfect Wedding Gift for $75

Posted in Crystal and Glass, Fine Crystal, Wedding Gifts at 4:21 am by Deb Savvy

In general I am not much of a believer in little tchotchkes as gifts for any occasion.  I hate to add clutter to someone’s house.  There are exceptions to every rule, though, and a lovely piece of luxury crystal from Swarovski, Baccarat or Lalique is one such exception. 

This  Swarovski Heart Ornament 2007 is a perfect choice for a wedding gift.  It’s romantic and elegant.  The small size means no added clutter.  The Swarovski name is synonymous with luxury and evokes an instinctive sense of delighted wonder in even the pickiest gift recipients.  A gift like this will never get lost in the shuffle of gift cards and re-gifted toasters.  It will be an immediate keepsake, a future reminder of your warm wishes to the bride and groom.  And they’ll remember your good wishes every year when they decorate for the holidays.  At $75 it’s an excellent value.

Another option is this fabulous Swarovski Sparkling Heart .  It’s small, luxurious, romantic and sure to find a place of honor in the happy couple’s new home. Also quite affordable at $95.
