Custom Bug Spray Labels!

September 30, 2010 by Jenny Walters 2 Comments

We stumbled across this idea over on the Glamour blog and completely agree with the author: It’s genius. This crafty bride offered the guests at her outdoor summer wedding bottles of bug spray with adorable custom labels.

Outdoor summer weddings are gorgeous, but they do come with their own special challenges. Power, restrooms, weather, that sort of thing. Bugs are one of those outdoor summer wedding problems that very few people tell you about however, and if your wedding is near a body of water or the woods, you’ll find that tiny bugs can be a huge problem!

Handing out bottles of bug spray will take care of this problem nicely. You can find small travel-sized bottles of bug spray (some even with sunscreen built in!) and provide each wedding guest with his/her own shield against pesky bugs.

Of course, bug spray bottles will likely not match the decor you’ve painstakingly selected for your special day. The solution? Custom labels! We have six different custom label sizes, one of which is bound to fit your bottles perfectly.

You can design the custom labels to match your decor (or use one of our designs) and suddenly you’ve turned a not-so-cute necessity into a thoughtful DIY wedding favor!

Making Waves to Fight Cancer

[singlepic id=311 w=240 h=240 float=center]This September, nearly 200 swimmers went for a bracing swim in the freezing cold waters of Lake Washington (here in Washington) for the Swim Across America event to raise money to fight cancer. These brave souls raised over $180,000 for the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance!

The event was a rousing success, with almost 25 teams competing in a two mile swim or a half mile swim alongside Olympic swimmers. At the conclusion of each event, every swimmer was handed a Swim Across America towel as well as a bottle of water. Guess who provided the water?

[singlepic id=310 w=240 h=240 float=center]That’s right! We did! We were happy to contribute to this fantastic event. Any time we can help fight cancer we’re happy to lend a hand. Every single person in our office has been personally affected by cancer or has a loved one who’s been affected by it, so we feel strongly about finding a cure!

To learn more about Swim Across America, visit their website. Who knows, you might even find yourself participating in a swim in your area next year!

It’s a Party in a Box!

[singlepic id=307 w=240 h=240 float=center]Tristen, one of our ingenious customers, sent us these photos earlier in the week and we’ve all been ooh-ing and ahh-ing them so much we figured we had to share them with you too!

Tristen’s boss had a birthday coming up, and they were still in need of a logo for their brand-new business (GorillaJedi) so Tristen thought she’d hit two birds with one stone. She designed custom beer labels with a snazzy logo on them, and created a party box for her boss’ birthday with the surprise logo inside.

[singlepic id=306 w=240 h=240 float=center]She labeled two cases of beer with the custom beer labels, then used chalkboard spray paint to turn the beer carriers into a canvas! She used chalk and pictures to make the carriers completely thoughtful and custom.

[singlepic id=309 w=240 h=240 float=center]Then, knowing that no party is complete without a hangover cure, she labeled some bottles of water as well with a GorillaJedi hangover cure label. Then, she placed the custom beer and water on a box and gave it to her boss.

Voila! It was a GorillaJedi party in a box! Thanks so much for sharing these photos and ideas with us Tristen, what a fun birthday gift!

Popcorn Favors!

September 16, 2010 by Jenny Walters Leave a Comment

At a recent networking event, we stumbled across a local vendor selling a product we just know you guys will love. The vendor is called Popcorn Pavilion and they sell gourmet popcorn!

Not excited yet? Well, don’t worry, because we’re just getting started. Not only is their popcorn delicious, but it’s fresh (popped and seasoned right there on site!) and perfect for party favors. If you’re feeling up for a little DIY project, you can buy a big bag of their popcorn and then divvy it up into smaller cellophane bags.

A little popcorn, a little ribbon, and presto! Party favors that people will gobble up! But wait, there’s something missing: That little something extra. The custom element that will really make your favors shine. It’s missing a custom label!

Custom labels are the perfect thing to turn your popcorn favors into custom popcorn favors. Our labels are completely self-adhesive, so all you have to do is personalize them and then stick them on!

If you don’t happen to live in our neighborhood, don’t worry. There are tons of places to buy gourmet popcorn, and if you have your heart set on Popcorn Pavilion we happen to know they ship so you can still get your hands on this tasty treat. Just don’t forget to add custom labels to your popcorn favors for that little something extra!
