We always get so excited when someone at our company gets married, has a baby, or celebrates a birthday because it means we get to see our products used firsthand!  One of the lovely ladies in our office recently had a baby, and as you can see in the photo above she put our mini water bottles to good use at her shower!

It was a lot of fun to watch the women at the baby shower milling around, chatting and playing games with these bottles sitting convenient right next to them.  The small size was great, because it gave the women at the shower the ability to juggle plates of food, purses, and their drinks without spilling anything.

There was also a beautiful little girl at the shower, and she felt very special indeed to have her very own bottle that was just the right size for her wee little hands.  The 8 oz bottle size is just the right size for grown-ups and little kids alike!

Custom label bottled water is stylish, a natural addition to baby showers.  You can match the colors of your label to the décor of your shower, so that while your guests walk around it’s like the decorations get to mingle right along with them!

Tips For Staying Cool

August 20, 2009 By Erika Leave a Comment

tips-for-staying-cool It’s hot!  Unless you’re one of the penguins in Antarctica,  you’re probably wondering how to cool off in all this heat.  It’s pretty easy to stay comfortable during the summer if you know a few tips and tricks, so read on, take some notes, and don’t forget: Summer only lasts a little while, so enjoy that good weather while you can!

Here are some tips to help you stay cool:

  1. The number one most important thing to remember about staying cool is to stay hydrated.  Most people can stay healthy and reasonably cool so long as they’re drinking plenty of cold water.  Stay away from sugary or caffeinated drinks, as those will dehydrate you!  If you’re planning an event this summer, make sure to stock up on cold water for your participants; it’s the best way to ensure everyone feels great and has fun.  We offer personalized spring water with bright, eye-catching labels, so if you want to put a little pizazz in your event, this is a great option for you!
  2. Have fun with your food.  Buy a cucumber and stick it in the refrigerator.  Once it’s cold, slice it thin and then apply the cucumber slices to your eyes, your forehead, and cheeks.  Relax, sip a cold beverage, and maybe snack on a little cucumber salad.  You’ll feel like royalty!
  3. Wrap ice cubes in a washcloth and hold it on pressure points.  Hold it between your wrists, behind your neck, and on your cheeks and forehead and before you know it you’ll feel like a new person!
  4. Eat cold food.  Snack on some ice cream, have a salad, drink a smoothie, anything cold that passes between your lips will help cool you down.
  5. Be strategic about your windows.  Draw the shades and shut the blinds and curtains during the day to keep the sunlight from heating up your house.  Then, when the temperature outside is cooler than the temperature inside, open your windows and blinds and let that cool night air inside.  Your house might not be as cool as it would be with air conditioning, but it’ll stay cooler than it would be with the windows open!

What about you?  Do you have any tips or tricks for surviving the swelter?

Summer Beach Party Ideas

June 18, 2009 By Erika Leave a Comment

personalized-water-labels-beach-games Beach barbecues, surfing, and volleyball; are there any activities as reminiscent of summer as these?  If mountain ski slopes are the home of winter, then the beach must be summer’s residence!  The feel of sand under your toes, the sound of waves crashing on the beach, and the gorgeous colors of a beach sunset are just some of what makes spending a day at the beach so much fun.

Beaches are natural locations for parties, because there’s a little something for everybody.  Playing in the water, hitting a volleyball around, or even just lazing around and taking in the view, no matter who you invite it’s bound to be a good time.  If you’re one of the lucky few who lives close to the beach, take advantage!  Beach parties are perfect for birthdays, holidays, or just about any other occasion!

Here are some beach party ideas to spark your creativity:

  • Shelter.  Beaches don’t tend to offer a lot of shade naturally, so pack up a folding canopy or some umbrellas.  Someone will inevitably forget to put on sunscreen and will appreciate the shade like you wouldn’t believe!
  • Cold drinks.  Beaches get hot, and there’s nothing worse than being parched and stuck without anything to drink!  Pack a cooler or two with ice and load it up beverages.  If you’re feeling extra fancy, use custom labels to spice up your beverages.  How cute would the water label featured above look on some water bottles sitting on the beach?!  Don’t worry, all our labels will withstand water and ice without smearing or falling off.
  • Seating.  Sure, sitting on the sand is fine, but pack along some chairs as well for those who don’t want to or have difficulty sitting on the ground.
  • Ice.  Don’t fall victim to food poisoning!  Keep all your food properly refrigerated by bringing along lots of ice.  Beach parties are fun, botulism isn’t.
  • Activities.  Bring a volleyball net, some sports balls, and wood for a bonfire if you have a pit nearby.  By making sure there’s a variety of activities, you’ll insure your guests don’t get bored, though who can possibly get bored on the beach?

We have some really wonderful summery designs for water, wine, and beer.  Nuptial H2O, Adventurous Red, and Four Star are all perfect for summer, with bright colors that will really pop on the beach.  As far as beach party ideas go, this is a pretty original one!  Just stick on our fully adhesive labels, throw them into a cooler, and have fun!

How to Make "Out of Town Bags"

June 12, 2009 By Erika Leave a Comment

personalized-wedding-water-bottle-labels-5.jpg If you’re lucky enough to have family and friends traveling from afar to watch you marry the love of your life, you’re probably thinking about how to treat them right.  Reserving pleasant hotel rooms, arranging brunch for the day after your wedding, and planning ahead for transportation logistics are just a few of the ways you can thank your out of town guests by making their stay as relaxing as possible.

A wonderful way to go the extra mile in making your guests comfortable is the out of town bag or basket (a.k.a. The OOT Bag).  These bags, or baskets, are placed in each out of town guest’s room and supplies them with a few personal touches they may need or want throughout your wedding festivities.  Here are some suggestions to help get you started on creating OOT Bag for your own guests:

  • Pain relievers.  Advil, aspirin, ibuprofen, any of these will be welcomed by any guest that suffers a headache or muscle sprain.  You can buy single serving packets of these from Target or any drug store and you can bet your guests will appreciate them!
  • Shout Wipes.  There’s nothing like an untimely stain to ruin the perfect wedding outfit!  If you throw some single serving Shout Wipes into your OOT Bags, you could potentially save someone’s favorite outfit!
  • Snacks. You can really get creative with this one.  Choose snacks that are special to your area or particular favorites of the bride and groom.  Guests will love this custom touch and yummy food!
  • Welcome letter/schedule.  Take some time to personally thank your guests for taking such a long trip to come see you.  This is a wonderful way to start the festivities out in a custom, grateful way.  Include a schedule of festivities, along with a map, to insure your guests know where to be and when.
  • Personalized bottled water.  Coordinate the label with your wedding colors and theme.  Not only will this help set the tone of your celebration for your guests, it’ll also provide the added benefit of giving them something to drink that isn’t ridiculously expensive hotel bottled water!

You can buy inexpensive baskets from Michael’s and customize them with a ribbon or fabric that matches your wedding decorations, or buy color-coordinated totes from any wedding favor retailer.  With a few minutes of effort, you’ll make a huge impression on your out of town guests and make them feel truly welcomed.

Will you or have you used OOT Bags?  How did you add your own personal flair?
