Lovely Wedding Favors to fit any budget

by

The holidays and the New Year will soon arrive and I was thinking that that’s the time when many people become engaged.

If you are planning a wedding or hope to soon begin Wedding plans one site that you should visit is Weddingfavors.com. Naturally, the products that they specialize in selling are Wedding Favors of all kinds.

The Wedding Favors site makes it easy to select and purchase wedding favors in volume. You see they have a volume pricing calculator. Simply visit the site and browse through their lovely selection of wedding favors. When you find an item that you’d like to give to your guests as a gift simply click on the product link to learn more about the item.

Often the price for a single item is displayed, however right above the price you’ll find a box where you can type in the quantity of items you’ll need. Type in the amount needed and then click update prices. If you’ve qualified for their volume pricing you’ll see that the price per single item has gone down and a total price will also be displayed. You might also see a message that tells you how many more items you need to buy to qualify for the next volume pricing discount.

You can also click on the volume pricing tab at the bottom of each Wedding Favor item page to see the volume pricing chart.

I love this feature! I don’t believe that I’ve seen a volume price calculator on other wedding favor sites that was so easy to use. I’m sure this feature will make it a lot easier for those planning weddings to stick to their budget.

As for the selection of favors – there’s a wonderful selection. They have beautiful pewter photo frames, boxes, cameras, personalized wedding favors, favors by themes, candles, flowers, place cards, wedding bell favors, Bookmark wedding favors, crystal wedding favors and even bottle stop wedding favors. The items are lovely.

You can also check their Sale section or browse through their wedding favors by season to find items that suit a wedding for any season.

Mosquito repellers

by

Well it’s just about mosquito season here. I imagine some of you already have mosquito’s in your gardens.

I hate them! I always swell up quite a bit where they bite me. If it’s not an allergic reaction is definitely an enhanced reaction to their bites … so you can see why I don’t like being bit by them.

Now with West Nile spreading throughout North America I’ve got even more reason to not want to be bit by these pesky blood sucking critters.

Do you do anything to prevent mosquitoes from biting you, or to deter them from your yard?

Naturally rules such as not leaving standing water in a bucket or container apply here … but what else do you do to keep from getting bitten?

I’m not big on chemicals. Not on me or in my yard. We do however use citronella candles, and citronella oil in our tiki torches. That helps to some degree, but it doesn’t totally keep them at bay.

Roly Poly Soy Eco-Candles

by

Do you enjoy scented candles in your home? Perhaps you sometimes give beautiful candles as gifts? If you answered yes to either of those questions you might enjoy eco-friendly Soy Candles . These candles are longer lasting than regular petroleum based candles, better for the environment, bio-degradable, made from a renewable resource, and they are of course reusable.

I’m so excited about these candles. I’ve never heard of soy candles before. You see, I’m allergic to most scented products. Perfumes and most scented candles give me an almost immediate severe migraine, and it usually feels like one of my eyes are going to pop out of my head. The problem, I believe is the petroleum in these products. About twenty years ago scented products were more natural but as soon as they became petroleum based I developed my severe allergy.

Now it seems that I can have scented candles in my home.

The candles themselves are just lovely. One of their best selling products ins the 22oz Roly Poly Soy candle. It’s extra large, and longer lasting than regular wax candles.

The candles feature top shelf fragrances that are based in all natural vegetable oil, rather than the traditional liquid petroleum based fragrances. No wax candle is totally soot free but these are said to produce virtually no black soot.

The candles are custom made for you. When you create your order you can specify the candles scent, color (dye free), and the candle type – hexagon, round, size by ounce of your roly poly and so on.

The scent list alone is making me want to order up a bunch of these candles. Amaretto coffee, American apple pie, blueberry muffins, coconut lime verbena, Honey dew, mulberry, gardenia, jasmine, super cinnamon and many many more scents. I counted over 100 different scents before I stopped! No wonder I suddenly want to order several different candle scents huh?

The prices seem quite reasonable. I’m sure you’ll be pleased. Oh and if you really like their candles you can join their candle of the month club too, or sign someone up as a gift. They ship world wide using USPS priority mail or FedEx depending upon where the order is being shipped. Most orders should arrive within 3 to 10 business days.
