I’ve discovered something about myself. I LOVE gifts. I like getting them, but I love giving them. It surprised me because I hate shopping. I DO! My husband does most of the shopping at our house and I avoid it like the plague. But giving gifts…now that I love and I have

THREE fun gifts to share today!

Our FIRST Fabulous Friday Freebie is a

$35 Gift Certificate from

Monogramming. Its timeless. Every doting Grandmother, Auntie, and new Mom loves the sight of their little tykes name embroidered on his or her “stuff”. Practicality is one thing. What a convenience that Sophie’s burpies are not going to get stuffed in the big black hole titled “Nursery Lost and Found”. (…because we all know that the latter never happens) The personalized bib or blanket will be so much easier to reunite with its rightful owner.

My Little Pumpkin Design specializes in custom gift sets guaranteed to delight the parents and keep that baby stylin’! With onesies, bibs, burp cloths, hooded towels and blankets, you can outfit your little guy with a classy collection. The best part being, you’ll still have cash left over for those diapers that are draining the account. My Little Pumpkin Design has some of the most reasonable options for monogramming that I have seen. Check out the bibs….a steal! How cute is this ensemble for Daddy’s little buckaroo!?

Im placing an order for a ribbon T in Christmas colors for someone special on my list. My Little Pumpkin Design has created a sweet and simple T-shirt layer that is both comfy and classy! Isabelle recently told me that girls dont wear just T-shirts. Im pretty sure this would pass in her book as fashionable enough!

Someone will be the lucky winner of the $35 Shopping Spree at My Little Pumpkin Design, but there is a special offer for the rest of you too! Place your order before November 20th and receive a 10% discount. Dont forget to mention Fabulous Friday Freebies when you check out!

This sweet find is an itty-bity-baby-boutique created for the littlest ladies in waiting. All your favorite accessories and adornments in the smallest of sizes!

My personal favorite from Snuggle Bugs and Bows is their “Dress, Shoe and Bow sets”. Creatively coordinated, these cute collections pair matching fabrics to dress the little diva from head to toe. If a baby is a gift, then most certainly, her shoes and bow are the gift-wrap! Get her all dolled up for outings, pictures, (or just because she is your princess) in one of these sweet collections from Snuggle Bugs and Bows.

Snuggle Bugs and Bows also offers reasonably priced tutus in assortments of colors and styles. Hand crafted to tie in the back makes for easy adjustment in size as baby grows and fills out. Holiday tutus, princess pinks and suave black and white options leave you with an irresistible assortment to choose from. Add a matching bow and you are still under $25! This my friends is a deal for your tiny prima ballerina in training!

Our THIRD Fabulous Friday Freebie is a

Lampshade from Sassy Shades.

We spent 5 years as missionaries in Ukraine. This post-Soviet country on the fringe of Russia is bitterly cold, the days are dark and dreary and the concrete block sky rises in every direction blend into the rest of the grey landscape. After my second winter where I struggled with depression, I read up on a condition called Seasonal Affective Disorder. Basically, some bodies require more light to function and I realized I am one of those who just needs sunshine to bloom. Perhaps a little assortment of lamps such as these appropriately placed around out tiny two bedroom apartment would have made a difference. Tell me this wouldnt cheer your mood!?

Sassy Shades is not your run-of-the-mill mass produced lampshade company. With a love for beauty and an eye for style, this home based business creates unique one-of-a-kind shades and welcomes custom orders. Im working on a pink and brown room for my girls. Sassy Shades tirelessly exchanged over a dozen emails offering material choices and color scheme options to suit our suite. Simply shop their extensive assortment or initiate correspondence on a specific custom order.

Chic fashion for end tables, whimsical accents for baby’s nursery or a subtle splash of style to brighten up a dark corner, Sassy Shades will provide you with sparkly suggestions.

Sassy Shades is offering 10% off to all buyers who mention Fabulous Friday Freebies, and they are offering this lovely nightlight lampshade to the winner of this week’s drawing.
