If you’re looking for great gift ideas for family or friends, I have the perfect company you should check out! Christmas is in two months,can you believe that? I’m not really prepared but I’ve been spying Clairebella’s site and it gave me plenty of options! Clairebella is based here in Atlanta, owned by Kathy Denness and I met her down at the gift show at Americas Mart a few months back.

They make all sorts of personalized & monogrammed products and more! Its as simple as one, two, three! You pick out a fun pattern that you like, tell them your initials or any letters you want on any item and in a few weeks….walla! You have a great personalized gift!

They sent me over two Pinkerrific trays and a monogrammed Blackberry cell phone case. I love them, too Pinktastic! The tray they sent me is so cute and it fits a dinner size plate, drink.Everything fits comfortable on my lap while watching my favorite reality shows lol. I would like to thank Clairebella for sending over the items, this just made my life much easier! xoxo

If you have a baby shower, bridal shower, graduation,retirement occasion or something else, Mud Pie is a great place to shop. They have individualized choices, personalized items and more!

Catered brunch by Sun In My Belly

I was invited to tour their showroom, learn about all their different gift items, create an Ultimate Gift and take a Sneak Peek of their Fall Line for 2011. It was an afternoon of fun and excitement since I love all things cute and girly.

Paige(Senior Designer)

Jan Schroder from Travelgirl magazine

At the presentation I met CEO, Marcia Miller who founded the company. She spoke on how she worked her way up in several companies and was pretty good at selling. She then decided to launch her own business MudPie that is now known all over the world. The name came from making ceramics that were painted brown to resemble clay. Miller said she wanted to control her own destiny and started her company with 20 faux terracotta products. The line took off and was often oversold.

Tabletop Items

Baby gift items

Fashion items

Birthday gift items

Cute Monogrammed Aprons

I’m loving this awh!

Today MudPie has a baby line that is their number seller, Tabletop gifts that include napkins, bottle toppers, hostess gifts and yes Fashion! In the showroom we saw the latest collections of soo many fabulous things. I headed right for the pink section which had aprons, tumblers,hats, beachwear and so much more. After viewing the showroom we played a game where we had to create the Ultimate Gift. My scenario was to buy a gift for a retiring school teacher. My budget was $100 and I got to thinking fast.

My Ulitmate Gift Idea

I came up with a coastal inspired designed platter, matching serving dish and beach napkins inside of a coral carry tote. My inspiration was that the school teacher could take a long vacation lol. We also got a sneak peek of the items for fall that were very nice. We saw the Angel Baby Collection, Bag Lady,Holliberrie,North Pole, Peace,Love,Joy Collection, Santa Baby,Tis the Season and Love n Veggies. All of them were fun to touch and feel and give feedback on.

Mud Pie goody bags,loved my clutch purse and Monogrammed Tumbler

I had so much fun meeting other moms, bloggers, and staff of the company. Please check out the website where you can learn more about the company if you haven’t already heard of them. I would like to thank The Edelman Group for the personal invite, I had a Pinktastic time! xoxo
