I have a giveaway today that I think you are going to love (and will solve this dilemma!) Notethreads is a new shop that sells handmade notepads and notecards. Notethreads is run by my sister-in-law Samantha Blakesley (maker of beautiful & Salt Lake MQG award-winning quilts)--she sent me a few vintage spool notepads for my birthday last year, and they have been one of my all-time favorite gifts. If we have swapped bee blocks or fabric, you probably received a note on one J
Can't wait? Notethreads is offering a special coupon code—use SWIMBIKEQUILT for free shipping until December 31, 2011. As a bonus, with the coupon, you get a free sample size notepad when you order notecards, or two free notecards if you order a notepad (using the code). Did you see the golfer & baseball player notepads? Perfect for that hard to buy for man in your life. What are you waiting for?! Happy shopping :)
Note: I received no compensation for this post, unless a fluffier air mattress the next time we visit counts :) I have been telling Sam she should sell her notepads for months, so I'm thrilled to see her shop up and running! I hope patterns are next :)














Your SIL has so much talent. I really like the the vintage spool thread notepad and the thank you cards. Happy Holidays Kate!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are awesome looking...the VW bus one is great. My go to stocking stuffer is definitely candy...easy and takes up a lot of room!
ReplyDeleteYour SIL's products are so cute! I love the spool of thread and the vintage VW bus.
ReplyDeleteThose are so cool! I love the spool notepad and the Sunburst note cards. This is a fabulous stocking stuffer idea!
ReplyDeletei just love the notecards...always a project i say ill make, but never do...stocking stuffer? i usually go for a chocolate treat...something special like Toblerone or Lindt! and honestly, socks and underwear usually make their way into stockings too!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are SO cute!! I love the Fall flowers fabric!! SOOOO CUTE!! Thanks for the giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteMy go to stocking stuffers are Pez dispensers. Always a hit! Although, last year I had an address stamp made for my daughter, with her name, in red ink - and that was the hit of Christmas. It was different, but SO fun! She still loves it!
very lovely work...I like cool cucmber...thank you
ReplyDeleteLovely notecards! I don't have a go-to stuffer, but I remember when I was younger, my mother would always put in a bottle of bubbles.
ReplyDeleteLove the notecards. The Spring flowers and the wave were my favorites, so many cute ones. My go to stuffer is chapstick (I have 4 girls) and there are so many different kinds, really needed here in the cold windy midwest.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! My go to stocking stuffer are those gold chocolate coins, or a manicure gc :)
ReplyDeleteI think I like the Bloom or Cool Cucumber card sets and the vintage spool and volkswagon note pads best. Although they're all very pretty and cool designs. Stocking stuffer popcorn!
ReplyDeleteoooh I love the bloom fabric notecards :-) Pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
I like the Fall Flower Fabric & Spring Fabric Notecards
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI like the Mediterranean and also the Cucumber card sets...but I'll take anything if I win! I found "coal" for this year's stocking stuffers at Trader Joe's...little boxes of peppermint "crumbles" covered in chocolate.
What a cute idea for teacher gifts! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteWow! Really cute notecards. I like the ones that look like fabric, of course.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the waves notecards. I don't have a "go-to" stocking stuffer but I remember the one from childhood that I thought was ridiculous: the giant candy cane stick. That thing was about a foot long (no hook at the top) and a couple inches thick. The visiting Santa brought them. And we never touched them. :)
ReplyDeletemy favorite stocking stuffers are probably just good ol' chocolates. or maybe werther's originals. does that make me an old lady?

Adorable! The Cool Cucumber set is particularly cute! My go-to filler? Hmmmm- lip smackers chap stick. :)
ReplyDeleteThose notecards are beautiful! They would make writing thank yous a pleasure!
ReplyDeleteI love the Vintage Spool Notepads - So cute!

I've added her to my favs! I just love the spool note pad...as one who sews, it's all me! =) I'm so glad you were able to talk her into opening a shop too! =)
ReplyDeleteStocking stuffer...well, I always do a fun electric toothbrush for the kids...and some kind of candy....that they can brush off their teeth. =)
Merry Christmas!

ReplyDeleteThe spool of thread would be perfect for my friend!

ReplyDeleteVery cute. She is talented. I like the vintage spool too. My go to stocking drifters are oranges. :) and chocolates.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the vintage spools. What a nice giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThose as so darn cute! I tend to include a sewn/quilted card with my handmade gifts, so having a stash on hand (instead of making them on demand as I tend to do!) would be fab! Like Anita said above, the kiddles always get electric toothbrushes (and Tom's toothpaste) in their stockings. Santa appreciates clean teeth!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I especially love the waves fabric note cards!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Thanks!
ReplyDeletethe autumn fabric notecards are adorable! all of them are. such a fun idea!
ReplyDeletestockings should always include small fabric bits & notions! love it. otherwise it's chocolate oranges or fun socks. those wave notecards are great!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, these are great! These would be the kind of thing I would think I could attempt on my own, only to have sub par results. She does them so beautifully. What a great treat! Stocking stuffer? I buy chocolate. My husband buys lottery tickets. Not inspired, but now they're a tradition.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. My go to stocking stuffer: Avon "chapsticks". Just ask my kids, Ahem....LOL
ReplyDeleteI love the Vibtage Spools notecards and a good go to stocking stuffer is Chapstick. You can never have too many!
