Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2010: Initials, Inc. *Giveaway*

Posted by Caryn Bailey 129 Comments

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by.  The winner is Donna C. Congrats!

If you’ve read my blog for any length of time, then you know that I’m a sentimentalist at heart.  I just adore boutique-esque, personalized gifts (especially if they involve photography).  And between my shoe and purse collection, I could probably open up a small shop!

Initials, Inc. is a national company that specializes in personalized items, particularly purses and handbags.  Their bags are trendy and functional and feature modern, lively prints and vibrant colors.  The company was started by two moms who, like many of us, wanted to stay home with their children while still contributing financially to their families.  Initials, Inc. launched in 2005 as a party plan company and is a place where women find creativity, flexibility and success.

Selecting and personalizing my Hippie Chic.  I have a lot of purses, but these days I live in a diaper bag.  For those rare days when I don’t have the kids, this bag is perfect for toting the essentials.  It’s roomy enough without being big or bulky and has an adjustable strap.  The Hippie Chic is available in Oasis (which is what I chose) and Cosmo and can be personalized with a name (including font style and color).  (Retails for $39.99).

The Resort Tote is one of their most popular bags and is perfect for toting everything you need for a day out with the kids.  (Retails for $44.99).

I particularly like their other items. Initials, Inc. offers the most adorable Just Like Me Doll.  It can be personalized with your child’s name and is offered in several hair and skin color variations to resemble your child.   (Retails for $34.99).

For more information on Initials, Inc., just visit their website!

Win It! One of you will win a $50 gift certificate to Initials, Inc.  Simply leave me a comment with the name of the item you’d choose (other than that which was mentioned on this review).  Comments will close on May 22, 2010 at 11:59 PM PST.  One comment per person, please (unless you do the extra credit). US residents only. Duplicates and comments not including the above information will be disqualified. Comments are moderated. If you don’t see your comment in a reasonable amount of time, send me an email. Bloggers and non-bloggers may enter. If you don’t want to leave your email address, please be sure to check back for my announcement on the winner. Please note that winners must respond within 48 hours of being announced/contacted or another winner will be drawn. Want an extra entry? Do any or all of the following and receive an extra entry for each one.
