Title: Rolling Suitcase
My new favorite travel companion - the rolling suitcase. Designed for the weekend traveler - this smart suitcase has room for shoes, clothes and travel essentials.
I recently took a trip to Boston for a little over 48 hours, and wanted to avoid the extra $20 it would cost to check my bag. This wonderful rolling suitcase was the answer! Great storage, handy grab handles, an airline ticket pocket, two stage Pullman handle, and more. Once monogrammed with an initial - I had no fears that my luggage would be confused with anyone else.

Title: Glowing Umbrellas
As a Mom I'm always on the lookout for cool things for my kids. I admit I like to be different and therefore I like my kids to stand out from the pack. Rain Glo umbrellas amaze EVERYONE who sees them, a glow in the dark umbrella - how cool is that? Easy to spot a kid on a cloudy day with a glowing umbrella. Works even better at night when you're all heading into a store. Safety and function working together to keep your kids safe. But don't worry Moms and Dads...we didn't forget about you either. Our glowing umbrellas are available in adult size as well as child size. So go ahead and buy a couple, I guarantee everyone will ask where you got a glowing umbrella!
Just an update - I've discovered these are FABULOUS at hailing a cab at night!

Title: BTS Gear
Our back to school rush is in full gear. Orders are running about 2 weeks depending on where you need it shipped. Some patterns are selling out quickly so be sure to get yours, as the manufacturer even ran out of stock last year.
Here's a quick list of popular items selling for back to school - nap mats, pencil bags, lunch bags, duffel bags, backpacks, laundry bags and more. Everyone loves to see their name in embroidery - so c'mon and give the gift that has their name written all over it!

Title: Happy Father's Day
We may not shower him with praise
Nor mention his name in song,
And sometimes it seems that we forget
The joy he spreads as he goes along,
But it doesn’t mean that we don’t know
The wonderful role that he has had.
And away down deep in every heart
There’s a place that is just for Dad.....

Title: Summer Camp
Summer is almost here and for many kids that means summer camp fun!!
Don't let your child lose anything at camp this year - make sure everything is labeled or better yet embroidered with your child's name. We have many items that are camp necessities. like our personalized laundry bag, in black (so it won't show the dirt) with hot pink trim for girls and cool camouflage for boys. They each have matching bathroom travelers so your child has less to carry in the morning.
Looking for a great deal on camp gear? Sneak a peek at our college gift set which includes a canvas laundry bag, and set of beige towels personalized in your choice of thread colors. A great savings of $10 over purchasing them separately. Other good basics are a monogrammed pillowcase and a fleece blanket for those chilly nights.
A personalized beach towel is also a great idea for those swimming sessions down at the lake. And our large duffel bag is handy to pack all your camp gear into for the summer. A shoulder strap helps ease the load while a monogram on their bag looks 'cool' to their friends.

Title: Mother's Day Gifts
Don't forget - Mother's day is May 11th!!
Mom's love our monogrammed duffel bags, personalized tote bags, golf and bowling towels and of course of custom Mom shirts. Time is running out quickly - so be sure to have your order in before the end of April to guarantee Mother's Day delivery!

Title: Canvas Grocery Bags
Last fall I finally took the plunge --- I bought myself some canvas grocery bags and actually used them. Believe it or not, it was an easy transition. Once I unpack my groceries, I put them back in my car for the next trip. That way they're always in my trunk when I'm at the store.
Of course you have to figure they were too plain for me. So to jazz them up I personalized several with my name and monogram. These canvas bags are extremely strong. I can't say enough great things about these bags. And I must admit I'm very proud to feel my family is doing our part to help mother earth.
These will be offered online soon for those who want to be green with style!

Title: Hot Nap Mat Colors
I just pre-registered my 'pixie' for kindergarten yesterday. Where does the time go?
With changing times and styles we've just added two new HOT colors in nap mats. Brown with turquoise giraffe trim for girls and a cadet blue with green trim for boys. These napmats are great for young children. Easy to carry and tons of fun for kids, Moms love them for the easy to care for fabric. Don't wait until our nap mats are picked over - get your 'baby' a personalized nap mat for kindergarten.

Title: Football Games
That's me in the center
I must admit I haven't been to a football game in awhile. This past weekend I took a trip to a U of I vs Penn State football game and tailgate party. What fun!! I was prepared for those uncomfortable bleacher seats - I had my personalized stadium seat. Having the built in back support was wonderful in such a crowded stadium. Did I mention the game was sold out? The stadium seat has pockets for my cell phone, bottled water, binoculars, car keys and more. My best friend kept calling me 'Mom' since I was so organized. But it so was easy with the storage the stadium seat provided. Let's not forget either that the padded seat made the game much more enjoyable!
Getting there early in the morning to tailgate was a little chilly. Thank goodness I had brought my monogrammed fleece blanket to help keep me warm. It was fun to just relax and enjoy the day in comfort. Of course having my fleece blanket in Penn State colors helped :0) If you're looking for a great football fan gift, a personalized stadium seat or monogrammed fleece blanket are sure winners this football season.

Title: Nap Mats
Kindergarten Nap Mats & Sleep Mats
July is a great time to start thinking about your child's nap or sleep mat for back to school. Our nap mats or sleep mats are a wonderful alternative to the plastic many schools require. Why would you want your child to rest on a vinyl mat - they would never remember which side touched the floor. Do you really want your child sleeping on a dirty mat?
Our nap or sleep mats are the perfect size for preschool and kindergarten kids. Is your child tall? Just flip up the attached pillow and you've gained an extra 6 inches of nap mat length. Most of our mats have an attached blanket that can help your child drift off to sleep. Trendy colors, attached pillow and attached blanket, handy carrying handles and Velcro closure - your child is sure to love an all in one nap mat for preschool or kindergarten rest times.
Always custom embroidered with your child's name or monogrammed initials. Help your child recognize their name with a personalized nap or sleep mat from PixieandthePrince.com

Title: Time to Redecorate

I'm very pleased with the results and have my beloved web designer Inkprince to thank for our new updated look. She a wonderful woman to work with and it is my everlasting pleasure to call her friend.

Title: Beach Towels
It's so hot here in Illinois that I LOVE to spend my time in the pool! So do my kids, whether we're at a friends, the YMCA or public pool - but I hate hunting for my kids towels. So I embroidered their monograms on beach towels - problem solved! A great gift for anyone who loves the beach and pool. My parents just requested beach towels to take on their cruise - a million great ways to use personalized beach towels.

Title: Graduation Gifts
It's almost hard to believe that high school graduations are coming up fast. A monogrammed laundry bag is a wonderful personalized graduation gift for anyone. Kids going off to college will love the super size laundry bag - perfect for bringing home to Mom on the weekends! Standard with a shoulder carrying strap and available in some trendy nylon colors or natural cotton, a personalized laundry bag will be a much appreciated gift for the graduate.
Date: 3/24/2007
Title: New Baby Blankets
I'm excited to add a several new baby blankets from the Raindrops collection. Even more exciting for me is that they are made right here in my home state of Illinois. The first is an ultra soft fleece blanket with a wide satin trim (not that fake nylon stuff here). Machine washable makes this crib blanket a favorite keepsake for new parents. A white flannel receiving blanket is also a top pick. Beautiful eyelet trim with satin binding, this receiving blanket is great for swaddling baby.
Date: 3/18/2007
Title: Snuggleball blanket
For our little sports fans - a plush sports ball with attached fleece security blanket. Adorable when personalized and available in football, baseball or soccer. A great idea for a baby gift, baby showers or hospital gift. Blanket is machine washable for ease of care and can be a great lovey for baby. At last - a baby gift that Dad approves of.
Date: 2/3/2007
Title: New Tote Bags
I have discovered the wonder of tote bags. My favorite is the Monogrammed Tote Bag. I never thought I had the need for a tote bag - but it quickly became a daily necessity. My monogrammed tote bag runs from teaching Sunday school to PTO functions, weekend trips to a friends and out to restaurants with items to amuse my children. Personalized tote bags make wonderful gifts for school teachers who always have a need for such a stylish personalized bag. Two sizes of tote bags are available, just waiting for your monogram.
Because of my new found love of tote bags, we added a brother gift set and a Big Sister gift set which includes our favorite sibling shirt and a tote bag. Big brothers and big sisters will love to carry their own personalized bag that shows how important they are. From carrying stuffed animals to toys or even helping with baby diapers, a big brother or big sister gift set will help an older sibling feel secure and loved by keeping them involved.

Title: Thanks
I just wanted to say a special thank you to my customers, friends and family who have given me patience, support, friendship and most importantly prayers. My Husband returned to work about 3 weeks ago after a cancer relapse. He had high grade fibrosarcoma of the thigh, stage 3. We had a very rough 10 months in which 2 surgeries, 5 months of chemo and almost 2 months of radiation - but he is considered cancer free and is back at work, after being off for over 9 months.
Thanks so much for having such faith in me and my business. I'm a Mom and Wife first, and businesswoman second, so my orders were being shipped later than normal for me. Thank you again for helping support a family during a big detour in our lives.
God's Blessings,
Julie
