Calling All Girly Girls!!

Hey Girls - listen up! Our huge Summer Sale is taking place next week! From July 10 - 12, our entire inventory will be marked down, some items as low as 75%!! Join us on Thursday for Happy Hour! We will be serving our signature GirlyGirl champagne cocktail, along with your choice of wine or soft drink. We will be extending our regular hours on Thursday until 8:00 pm to give you extra time to join us for a drink while you shop our sale.

We have a couple of new jewelry lines that you will want to be sure to check out. Soos Rocks features charms, chunky chains or one of a kind stones that command attention! Soos has captured the hearts of its loyal fan following, and has increasingly gained attention from stylists, fasion editors, and photographers from around the world! Soos has graced the pages of InStyle, Star Magazine, Nylon, Teen Magazine, Bride's Magazine and numerous other publications!

Our other exciting addition is Jess LC. We are featuring her 'Lucky in Bed' line, gold-filled or sterling silver necklaces and bracelets combined with the lucky Chinese color, red, along with the longstanding tradition of adding "in bed" to the end of any fortune cooking messsage. Also, her Silver Lining Necklaces. These necklaces are a reminder that when life gets cloucy and raindrops fall, one must always remember to look for the silver lining. 10% of proceeds will be donated to help find sunshine for those with cancer via the leukemia and lymphoma society. Both make great gifts!!

Humor and Help, Two Books In Stock

On the heels of the smash hit movie, "27 Dresses", we now carry '101 Uses For A Bridesmaid Dress', by Cindy Walker with illustrations by Donna Mehalko. A cute and hilarious gift for your bridal party! How about a shower curtain? a taffeta hammock? a ritzy pool cover? For those girls who don't plan on actually wearing the dress again, (not a good color for them, don't usually wear dresses, etc.) this book offers clever and hilarious options!!

Also, if you are having trouble writing your wedding vows, we have in stock' Your Special Wedding Vows' by Sharon Naylor. Sharon's book takes a fresh approach to finding exactly what you want to say to each other. This helpful guide includes a worksheet to help you get started with a large selection of traditional, non-traditional and
religious and non-religious vows. This book also offers solutions for writing vows when there are special circumstances to take into consideration.

Bachelorette Party Games

Are you looking for a great bachelorette party game? We have the perfect solution for you! 'That Guy Game!' This game has been featured on 'The Montel Williams Show' as well as gracing the pages of InStyle Weddings and Us magazines, to name a few. The premise of this game is simple, simply deal the deck of cards out to all those attending the party, whomever finds all of the 'guys' featured in their hand is the winner! This is a great game even beyond the bachelorette party, my sisters and I have played it during a casual night out together, and had a blast! Its almost like a scavenger hunt, only the objects (guys) searched for are ones found stereotypically out at the bars and clubs! So drop by GirlyGirl to pick up That Guy Game, along with other bachelorette party must-haves!

Bowling to 'Save the Tata's'

We were very proud to participate in a breast cancer awareness and fund raising bowling event on March 22, 2008. The event took place at Chipewa Bowl and was organized by a former GirlyGirl Gifts girl, Heidi McCollough! Many of the guests attending wore their 'Save the Tata's' tee shirts, and we all gathered for a group shot! We had our 'Tata's themed merchandise available for purchase during the event, and continue to carry it in our boutique. We've added coffee mugs to our inventory, and will soon be ordering sleeveless tanks for the upcoming summer season. As always, a percentage of our profits go directly to the Susan G. Komen foundation to support research efforts.

Just In - Aromatherapy Interventions!

Need a personal gift with a budget of just $20.00? We've got you covered with our newest arrival, Aromatherapy Interventions! These soy based candles employ true aromacology, the science of scent applied to the modern mind. We've got birthday's covered with 'Birthday Wisdom', filled with essences of english mint and native orange to stimulate the intellect and inspire self awareness - so that the receiver can answer such vital questions as: What is your destiny? Why are you here? Where are you going? and most importantly, Who does your hair?! We've got 'Panic Attack' and 'Chill Out', 'Wedded Bliss' as well as 'Unwedded Bliss.' But our favorite is 'Birthday Panic' - filled with frankincense and patchouli to lessen restless anxiety as you ponder the fact that you have yet to save the planet, surf an endless summer or party like a rock star!
