Holiday Gift Idea: CurlyQ Cuties and your Made-to-Order Monsters

If you are on the hunt for a unique holiday gift idea you’ll love CurlyQ Cuties’ Made-to-Order Monsters.

You can use CurlyQ Cuties online kid-friendly interactive designer to design a one-of-a-kind handmade plush Monster your child will love. For about $25, your design design will be turned into a real live stuffed Monster toy made from quality anti-pill fleece.

I think it’s a great idea to let your child design their own monster but if you are giving one as a gift, I’m sure just about any design will be appreciated! CurlyQ Cuties are great for any age. My 3 and 10 year old both love their CurlyQ Cuties Made-to-Order Monster.
Madelyn named her CurlyQ Cutie Made-to-Order Monster Noodles. 

Where to buy: CurlyQ Cuties
How much is it? $25+

Get Personalized with a Custom Address Stamp

personalized-stamps

Now that summer is over and the kids are back in school, I’m determined to be organized for the busiest time of year. Along with fall and winter come multiple holidays, social events, birthday parties and then as soon as you can catch your breath Christmas has come and gone. No more attaching return address labels on our family’s holiday cards until the wee hours. This year I plan to order a personalized return address stamp. I found these self-inking customized stamps that will be my new personal-izing assistant! Not only can these be used for return addresses, and look great on the back flap of an envelope I might add, but they can be used to personalize note cards as well. The personalized stamps from Three Designing Women (love the name!) are designed to personalize blank note cards, wine tags, gift tags, notepads and calling cards. You can also use these self-inking stamps with your own blank stationery or stickers. I love all of the unique designs and cute, modern note cards. They have something for classic tastes as well as modern design fans. The stamps are available at the Neiman Marcus website and you can also find coupon codes for Neiman’s here.

Personalized embroidered baby & toddler clothes – SewCUTE

Sewcute2If you are a regular reader you know how much I love personalized baby gifts and clothes.  Lucie, the founder of SewCUTE personalized baby wear recently sent a personalized tee for Madelyn and it is one of those pieces that made me say "awwww".  Even my husband couldn’t hold back.  Madelyn’s name is embroidered with Berry Pink embroidery thread and the shirt is a light pink.

SewCUTE personalized clothing is made using only premium,
super soft & comfy, combed cotton and oh my gosh, is it luxurious to the touch.  Madelyn ate tomato’s the first time she wore her shirt and needless to say, the shirt  enjoyed the tomato’s almost as much as Madelyn.  I am very impressed that even after harsh rubbing with stain remover and several washes in both hot and cold water the tee is still soft and held it’s shape perfectly. Madelyn has a larger than average head so I really appreciate that this tee has a stretchable collar.  The big head is from Tim’s side of the family!  🙂  SewCUTE designs are available for babies and toddlers ages 0-24 months.

I would love to see Madelyn in one of SewCUTE’s Personalized Sport Baby Sets and/or the Personalized Classic Hoodie Set before she is too big.  They are too cute!  No pun intended.  🙂

The SewCUTE website is very easy to browse and I noticed that on every individual product page there is sizing information and care instructions for that product. I, like most online shoppers don’t want to dig through the depths of a website to find out what size Madelyn or Sebastian would fit in and if a piece is machine washable or not.  Speaking of.. SewCUTE’s pieces are machine washable.

Let me know what you buy!
