"Gifts-to-Go" with Magnet Works

Magnets Works has a great blog about all of the fun things they're doing! Check out their most recent post about retail displays and merchandising.   We're thrilled that the post features a few of our favorite new MatMates!

One of their great suggestions for retailers is to create easy and fun"gifts-to-go" for their customers by pulling related items together.  For example, below they've rolled up MatMates, (I see our "Hello/Goodbye" mat and our "Creativity Takes Courage" mat!) tied them with twine and then added another corresponding gift.

Here's what the two mats {featured above}* look like when unrolled:

Leave us a comment - If you were giving our hello/goodbye mat as a housewarming gift, what would you pair it with? We'll share your awesome suggestions!

Atlanta Market 2014 + C.R. GIBSON

Our new collection for C.R. Gibson is called "{Enjoy} the Little Things!"   It's a combination of paper goods, journals in various styles, photo albums, miniature blank cards and more. 

It debuted in January at the Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Market.  We had this cool display right inside the door, in the front window of the C.R. Gibson showroom!



The collection has a variety of sizes of photo albums, journals, and burlap wall art.





These aren't the greatest photos, but the burlap pieces are cool because they have some dimensional pieces to them:

Here they are again on the backside of our display.

On this cute little table they had our trinket boxes on display with the gift enclosure cards.  



Intermixed here and there were some old cameras as props!


I don't know why, but I didn't get any photos of the insides of the trinket boxes! The messages continue on the inside of each one!  (Lucky for you, you'll be able to peek inside each box on the C.R. Gibson site!)

Here's a better look at the little enclosure cards.  They are 2x2 inches, blank inside, and come with a coordinating envelope.  They are just darling!



Here's what the backside of the display looked like:

journals, photo albums, and that yellow book has sticky notes inside!

these cubes are for a few of your favorite snapshots

Lock and key diaries

We feel so blessed to have the opportunity to work with this great company!

If you are a retailer interested in adding this brand new line to your store, visit the C.R. Gibson wholesale site or find/contact your local sales rep.

Customers, wonderful news for you!  This entire collection is now available for purchase directly from the C.R. Gibson website!
