If Carrie Bradshaw Had A Baby !

Posted on Thursday 22 May 2008

If Carrie Bradshaw had a baby she would certainly swop her iconic ‘Carrie’ necklace for a pure silver ‘Doodle Tag.’ What is a ‘Doodle Tag’? It’s a piece of jewellery hand crafted from a ‘doodle’ or masterpiece) created by your children. It’s not confined to kids though… we have already created some very grown up pieces of ‘Doodled’ jewellery art. Send your little Picasso’s signature/ scribble via e-mail. We will then create your very own ‘Doodle Tag’ from recycled 100% silver. As if it couldn’t get better than wearing your kid’s artwork –we’ll also send you a professionally wood mounted rubber stamp of the  ‘Doodle’ and a small black 1” stamp pad which will enable the ‘Grand Master’ to  stamp his ‘Doodle’ on paper, wood or fabric. You can use the stamp to make your own thank you cards, print on t-shirts or even stamp all over the bedroom wall.  Creativity is never limited! [*][*]Editor’s Notes: [*] All silver used throughout the collection is crafted from a new, revolutionary, sustainable source of recycled silver. The silver is recycled from photographic film. It is extracted through a process that Mitsubishi Materials Inc. developed in the late 1990’s…It’s ground into fine particles, mixed with an organic binder, then fired in a kiln. After firing it is .999 fine silver…. ready to be turned into wonderful jewellery collections.  Doodle Tags are part of the very successful Mummy and Daddy Tags range of personalised jewellery that Boutique To You exclusively introduced to the UK market back in 2006 from talented US, jewellery designer, Kirsten Reed. She is very well known in USA and Japan for being a specialist in the design and use of this new ‘pure’ and ‘recycled’ silver. Not only that - she is also a fair trade, eco warrior and her studio is staffed by WAHM’s who work very flexible working hours to suit their families’ needs.  Prices for ‘Doodle Tags’ start at £60.00. We are constantly striving to make as little impact on the environment as possible which is evidenced in the material we use for our jewellery. The labels on our simple aluminium gift tins are now made from a corn based material called EarthFirst PLA, a renewable organic resource.

Belly Belts

Posted on Tuesday 15 May 2007

Oh boy how I wish these B-Buckles Belly Belts had been around when I was pregnant !

They allow you to wear your non maternity jeans and trousers and that has to b a plus in anybody’s book especially when your tummy can sometimes seem to grow overnight!

They are easy to use as they just loop through thebelt loops on your waistband allowing you to keep your jeans unfastened but looking to all the world as if you have a belt on .. only you will know by the comfort factor :)

The designs are cool too and really don’t look out of place with jeans and a tee … a great yummy mummy to be look ! They are selling like hot cakes over in LA where they are from and we are nearly sold out of our first wave of them.

They make a lovely mum to be gift or baby shower gift .

Click here to take you to the video .. remember to turn your volume up as there is sound , too !

Coming Soon To A Screen Near You !

Posted on Wednesday 6 September 2006

I just realised today that we don’t have a ‘Coming Soon’ section on Boutique To You just a ‘ New Arrivals.’

I always like to have a bit of a taster so I know what goodies are in store .I am a fiend for buying up the whole of the magazine section of my local Tesco just so I can see what is coming soon on the fashion scene,home scene,wedding scene etc; etc;

So every now and again .. (or when the mood takes me basically !) I am going to publish a ‘Coming Soon To A Screen Near You’ post …. Please let me know what you think!

This post I am focusing on hand painted gifts for children.I love anything hand painted as you might already have guessed from the gorgeous sandals we stock.These personalised works of art make great new baby ,christening, birthday and christmas gifts or just when you want to make a child feel really special.

From fairy princesses to cowboys and indians, this contemporary collection offers unique, affordable gift ideas to treasure.

In store next week !

Handbag Charms by Finders Key Purse

Posted on Tuesday 5 September 2006

What a great play on words for a handbag charm that helps you to take care of your keys as well as look good at the same time.

We have been selling these for over a year now but it is only recently that they are becoming very popular as people realise what they actually are!

They slip onto the side of your bag as a handbag charm and then you attach your keys to the clip so they dangle inside your bag safe in the knowledge that you always know where they are.My current favourite is the Pink Ribbon which has my whole collection of keys attached at any one time ! It looks great on my bag though as I am a bit of a pink freak.The picture below showing you what they look like is of my prized Pink Luella .My husband bought me this and the matching purse as a birthday present and I absolutely adore it even though it is now nearly three years old !These nifty little charms are just enough without making such a star look tacky !

Fab and funky … there are some great designs … Flip Flops, Dolly Shoe, Pink Ribbon and a cute little Doggie . I think there is a charm there for everyone and they make great gifts so would be particularly good for Christmas pressies.

There are even a couple of end of line ones left in our Archive Sale at only 3.99 each if you hurry ! Normal price is 7.99.




Gadgets @ Boutique To You

Posted on Friday 21 July 2006

We can’t resist a great girly gadget when we see one and the best seller for us so far has been our Handbag Lights.

So I thought I would do a post on those today for everyone who hasn’t seen them yet !

They work on new white light technology so really do light up even the most darkest recesses of our favourite accessory … the handbag! Great for when you don’t want to fumble arround looking for keys,business card,lipstick .. whatever !

You get a set of 3 for 14.99 — one pink,one blue and one black so there is enough to compliment all your favourite bags.

This really is a great little invention and definitely goes down on my ‘I wish I’d thought of that’ list.

Why not check out our other girly gadgets on offer?
