As a family owned and operated company, Mother’s Day has always been important to us at Sunshine Rewards. This Mother’s Day we have partnered with Gloss Jewelry to kick off the shopping season. Gloss Jewelry would like to make Mother’s Day special for someone in your life with a piece of their beautiful jewelry.

I own quite a few necklaces and pairs of earrings from Gloss myself and am always receiving compliments on them. I especially love my beaded necklace that I can wear either with or without charms. It’s perfect for when I am traveling for a few days and want to change up my look without taking a lot of jewelry with me.

Jillian and Cassie were so excited when we received the new Heart to Heart Tower from The Fruit Company that they volunteered to make the video (in exchange for getting first pick of the treats, of course). We did a full video review of The Fruit Company last year, but this one is specifically about sending The Fruit Company for Valentine’s Day.

I love the heart-shaped boxes in this tower. They make it unique from any that I have seen before. And as you can see in the video, they specially arranged the pears and candies in the heart box to make a cute presentation. What is unique about this tower is that it combines the traditional heart-shaped candy box with the rectangle boxes of fresh fruit. Perfect for someone watching their weight but also wanting something sweet for Valentine’s Day.

The apples and pears from The Fruit Company are just amazing. I like to wait just a few days after I get the pears until they are totally ripe and start to soften. If you do that, they might be the juiciest fruit you have ever tasted. As Jillian mentioned in the video, she is partial to the Chocolate Covered Cherries.

The gift tower comes just like you see it on their website, including the big red bow. The fruit also looks like it does in their pictures–ripe and pristine. It’s always hard to tell when you see a gift pictured on a website whether the recipient will really receive what it looks like. In the case of The Fruit Company, I can tell you that my packages have always looked exactly as they are pictured on the site.

If you are looking for the perfect gift for someone who is trying to stick with healthy New Year’s resolutions, a tower or basket from The Fruit Company would be ideal. The chocolates are just enough of a splurge to celebrate the holiday while the fruits are tasty but good for you.

And if you need an idea for what to write in the card, I think the Sunshine Girls had it right with “You’re the Apple of My Eye” or “We Make a Perfect Pear”!

You can find more reviews as well as coupons for The Fruit Company at Sunshine Rewards.

I love giving customized gifts that let the recipient know you were really thinking of them when you made the purchase. For kids in particular they love seeing familiar things that they identify with, including their own name. Paper Hat Press gave me the opportunity to review one of their personalized children’s books and I knew that it would be just perfect for my niece.

As you can see in the video below, Paper Hat Press allows you to customize certain parts of the story including the look of the main character, their name, and other personal details like names of family and friends or even favorite foods. One of my favorite parts is the dedication at the start of the book that says who created the book for the child.

They have several books to choose from including their newest “I Love You,” which would be a perfect gift for Valentine’s Day but really for any time!  We chose “Little Sparkle” for my niece because it looked perfect for her age and personality.

The quality of the book is top notch and my daughters loved being able to add personal touches like the fact that my niece’s favorite food is macaroni and cheese. The story is sweet and the illustrations are beautiful. We sent the book to her for her birthday and I’ve heard that she now wants to read it every single night before she goes to bed. It’s a gift that she will enjoy now and treasure as an adult.

You can find some great Paper Hat Press coupons and deals online, including their 25% off code (Love) right now for Valentine’s Day. Order soon so that your gift will arrive on time (2/1 standard and 2/6 expedited).  And check out the video below to see exactly what the book looks like and what the significance of “Paper Hat Press” is.

Shopping for girls can be a challenge and especially when they are just entering the stage of developing their own style and wanting to select their own clothing.  I can shop for my daughter and for the most part know that I am getting her what she likes, however sometimes I can be off and she would have certainly picked something different.  It is also a challenge for her Grandparents or other relatives to by clothing  as they may not know her style quite as well.

This Christmas the solution to came to us in a wonderful Gift Card for my daughter from FPGirl.com.  Fashion Playtes is a great site where girls can go and design her own clothes.  They can select from an a huge variety of  tops, bottoms, dresses, lounge wear, jewelry and accessories in a variety of styles.  Clothing sizes range from size 6 to 16.  After selecting their item they  chose the size and basic style and then begin their unique design starting with the color and then adding their own embellishments and even a personalized label.
