Architectural Letters and Signs Add Unique Yet Affordable Designer Touch
Spiff up your walls with our new line of affordable Architectural Signs. If you have been looking for the perfect designer touch for your walls then you have come to right place. We have just added three new Architectural designer pieces to our Personalized Sign Collection in the Sign Shop at Arttowngifts.com.

Featured on the Oprah Show in O Magazine each piece in this collection is unique and incorporates a different feel. Select an Architectural Framed Sign for your home or office or give one to someone special as a one-of-a-kind and memorable gift. The good news is that these true works of art are finally available for a reasonable price. They add a touch of class to any wall and are suitable for home or office use.

Architectural Personalized Name Frame
Our Architectural Personalized Letters Frame features 4 to 9 single letters styled from old fashioned and modern architectural elements in a narrow matted high quality black frame to set off the letters. You choose the letters. For example select your business name for the office or your family name for the family room, home office or study. Another popular version is to design an inspirational sign by decorating with a word like dream, love, peace, hope or faith.

Architectural Name Frame II
An alternative version is our Architectural Three Character Frame which includes three letters or symbols of your choice in a 10 inch x 17 inch frame with a large charcoal grey mat surrounded by a black frame. This affordable piece combines art, architecture and nature into an exceptional piece of art for a true designer look. Similar pieces sell for over $150 while our piece is regularly only $ 50.99 and is on sale for a limited time for $44.99. This piece has been featured in many designer magazines including Oprah's O Magazine among others. It is an ideal solution when you need to add an interesting wall element for punch in a small space.

Architectural Letter Frame Singles
Our Architectural Personalized Single Letters Frames originate from architectural pieces. Each letter or symbol is individually framed, allowing you the freedom to display each piece in a variety of creative ways as you hang them on your wall. Each frame measures 4 inches x 6 inches. Order as many as you would like to create the look you desire. These single letter frames are my favorite of the three both for my house and office but also as gifts for my friends and co-workers. I actually ordered a single letter for every member of my bridge group. These single letters normally sell for only $9 but are on sale for even less at $6.99. They make great gifts when you need a little something for a group of people but need to watch the budget. Not only are they affordable they are personal. Single letters are an outstanding addition to an office or home study wall.

Regardless of the application choose for your room, you are sure to love to your our new Architectural Art. Unlike their more expensive counter parts all three of these affordable designs can be ordered and shipped in just a few days. You can even add a hand written gift card.

We also offer the traditional Create Your Own Sign if you need more a traditional look or longer personalization. You can select the size, type, color and contents of this custom wood sign. Remember to visit Arttowngifts.com when you need gifts for any occasion.

Bosses Deserve Their Day

2009-10-05T16:29:00.000-07:00

Pat your Boss on the back with a gift this Boss's Day.
This last year has certainly been a difficult one for anyone involved in running a business. What with the economy rolling off a cliff as some have described the recent financial challenges, bosses have faced more than their share of difficult decisions. While many of us have taken on more work due to lay offs, our bosses have struggled to make ends meet and keep our businesses, large and small, afloat. This is the one time of the year that we acknowledge their dedication instead of resenting their demands.

Boss's Day is Friday October 16th.
So have a pow wow and decide on a great boss's day gift to tell your boss you understand their hard work. Whether you prefer to purchase a gift as a group or buy separate gifts, there is a plethora of great gift ideas most of which you can order online. So let's start with the obvious. Get the boss a gift basket. You can go for something with an executive theme such as the Executive's Gourmet Desk Caddy. The great thing about this gift is that the gourmet goodies such as pastry cookies, brownies, crackers, cheese, truffles and popcorn fudge all come packed in a keepsake solid wood caddy with antique brass latch. So your boss will have the chest for years to come long after all the treats have been consumed.

In honor of a job well done give a Wine Basket.
If your company is still alive after the last year then your boss has done a good job. So give him or her a round of applause and the opportunity to enjoy a nice toast with a high end yet affordable wine basket. Consider the Extravagant Wine Lovers & Gourmet Basket. This gift includes two acclaimed red wines paired with high end gourmet delights such as smoked salmon, Italian biscotti, signature caviar, truffles and more all arranged in a top stitched black leather tray ...perfect for later use as a desk top out box or in box depending on your boss's workflow.

Prefer something more personal ...
A personalized gift is always a good idea for occasions such as Bosses Day. For a female boss you might want to consider a Heart Shaped Silver Paper Weight which can be engraved with two lines leaving room for your boss's name and either the company name or the current year. For the guys a Personalized Multi-Purpose Tool for their pocket or glove compartment is a a good idea. Gadgets likes these are truly functional so they are sure to be appreciated for many years to come.

What about handmade desk accessories and writing instruments?
What is better than a fancy writing instrument? The answer is a handmade fancy pen with name brand insides. That is exactly the description of our Wall Street II Style Ballpoint Pen. It is a hand turned pen with Montblanc mechanisms on the inside. You can choose to have your pen crafted from a variety of materials such as Ebony woods, fine acrylics and wood burls. In addition you can order matching desk accessories such as a triple magnifying glass or letter opener for a complete set. These hand crafted desk sets look like they cost thousand of dollars when in reality they are truly affordable. You can purchase a pen for only $59.95.

What ever you decide, be sure to let your boss know that you do appreciate the hard work and stress they face to keep people on the payroll and businesses functioning.

Grandparents Day Gift Ideas

2009-09-09T18:00:00.000-07:00

Grandparents Day is the Sunday after Labor Day

Have you made arrangements for a Grandparent's Day Gift? If you haven't already sent a gift now is the time to decide how you will honor your grandparents for their special day. I know that sometimes it seems there is an over abundance of holidays but trust me your grandparents appreciate when they are remembered. So even if you do not send a gift or a card, remember to give them a call or visit on Grandparent's Day.

Last Minute Gift Ideas for Grandparents' Day

You can always send your grandmother or grandfather a gift basket. Most companies such as Arttowngifts.com can arrange to have gifts delivered up until the last minute before a holiday. At Arttowngifts.com we even offer a complete selection of same day gifts which can be delivered on the same day you place your order. Of course the sooner you place your order the better. Last minute gift choices include wine gifts, fruit baskets, balloon bouquets and florist arranged flowers. Both the wine and fruit gifts come with a nice selection of gourmet foods. You can also add chocolates to the balloons and balloons to the various baskets. Just keep in mind that Sundays can be problematic in terms of delivery particularly in smaller towns so please try to place your order in time for Friday or Saturday delivery.

Gifts Available for Next Day Delivery

Most of our gifts are available for immediate shipping for next day delivery (using expedited shipping methods) including our flowers delivered direct from the grower. These flower bouquets provide great value. You receive significantly more flowers for the price and the arrangements normally last much longer than florist arranged flowers. This is because they are cut just before being shipped to the final recipient. If you prefer a more lasting gift than fresh flowers, consider our gold roses which come in a variety of styles and colors. These "dipped roses" are real roses that are dipped in gold, silver, platinum or lacquer in order preserve them. They should ultimately become family heirlooms and keepsakes. Our complete line of gift baskets including gift collections that encompass all kinds of hobby themes can be shipped the same day you place your order. I like the fact that you can make your selection personal. For example if your grand dad likes to play golf then send him a golf gift basket. If your grandmom likes to garden send her a garden gift basket.

As you can see there are lots of choices for ways to remember your papa and granny. There is still time to place an order or send a card. What ever you decide to do for Grandparent's day just be sure to let your grandma and grandpa know how much they mean to you.

Last Minute Valentine Gifts - Flowers from Arttowngifts.com

2009-02-06T15:36:00.000-08:00

Time to Order Last Minute Valentine's Day Gifts from Arttowngifts.com
The clock is ticking down to Valentine's Day. Get those Valentine’s Day Gifts ordered so you can make certain to get the gift you want and avoid expedited shipping charges. Guys, PLEASE do not wait until the last minute assuming that your local florist will be able to handle your order for Valentine Flowers. We work with florists every day for delivery of balloons, gift baskets and flowers. You should know that:

Florists routinely stop taking orders several days before and after Valentine's Day
To complicate things even more, Valentines Day is on Saturday this year. So please get those orders placed with us or where ever else you plan to make your purchase.

Flowers Added to Arttowngifts.com
You asked for flowers online and we listened. We are thrilled to announce that Arttowngifts now offers flowers including roses, mixed bouquets and plants. We offer two ways buy. You can select from our shipped flowers that are cut fresh from the fields for next day delivery direct from our own growers or choose our same day flower delivery arranged through local florists in the recipient’s delivery area. Each online flower ordering method offers great advantages and some disadvantages. We outline these in depth further on our site. In the meantime here is a quick synopsis:

Farm Fresh Flowers - Cost Less and Last Longer
The farm fresh flowers routinely feature significantly lower prices and greater quality because the flowers are fresher. They are grown locally instead of being shipped in from other countries. The flowers are cut one day and delivered to you the next. The only way to get fresher flowers is to grow them yourself!

Grower Direct Flowers - Shipped for Next Day Delivery - Arrive In A Gift Box
The disadvantage to some buyers is that while the flowers arrive in a nice gift box, the bouquets are not already professionally styled in a vase due to shipping issues. As a result, arranging the flowers is up to the recipient. However, if you take a quick glance at most florist websites you will see that a large portion of the arrangements feature very little design effort. There are usually a few seasonally advertised great FTD or Teleflora designs. Otherwise, it is just flowers in a vase for the most part. We offer our customers those cute designs through our florist arranged deliveries. Each of the Grower Direct Flower Gifts come with a floral preservative and flower care information.

Women Enjoy Arranging Flowers
Most women I know really enjoy arranging the flowers they receive. To my dismay I have seen friends take a nicely designed florist bouquet and tear it apart just to put the flowers in several vases so they could enjoy the flowers in more than one location. If I am sending a floral gift to a woman in most cases I would opt for the grower fresh overnight flowers. That way she can enjoy designing her own arrangement and also have a gift that will last the longest. And I will save a little bit on the purchase of the gift or buy more flowers than I could have from a florist.

Direct from the Fields Flowers Fully Bloom After They Arrive
The direct from the fields to you flowers are selected and cut before the blooms totally open. This is so that the flowers will reach their maximum beauty after they arrive and to insure longevity. Florists delivered bouquets are better if you prefer that the flowers be at their peak when they arrive. Finally there is a minor risk of the flowers being damaged in shipping but this is covered in the guarantee and the same risk applies to floral delivery drivers.

Florist Delivered Flowers - Delivered Same Day - Professionally Arranged
There are two main advantages offered by florist delivered flowers. We can schedule same day flower delivery if you call early enough in the day. Plus the flowers arrive professionally arranged in a vase. The main disadvantage we find with florist delivery is that we deal with florists from across the country so the arrangements do not always closely resemble the photos. Ninety-nine percent of the time florists make a herculean effort to do a good job and deliver an outstanding product but sometimes they take a little poetic license. If you want same day flower delivery, the deadline is noon in the recipient's time zone. Our site says 11:30 am to give us time to get the orders to the florist.

Florist Delivered Flowers - Better for Hospitals, Funerals & Grand Openings
If you want a really cute design from the get-go, you should select the florist arranged and delivered flowers. This is particularly true in the case of sympathy flowers or get well flowers delivered to hospitals. We find that it is much better to use florist arranged delivery for hospitals and funerals because the delivery driver can actually walk the flowers to the correct location. And the arrangment is ready to go. I would also select our florist same day delivery when you need to send a bouquet to a group such as a business grand opening or a staff thank you. If you have questions about the best delivery method for your situation give us a call toll free at 1 877 278-8696.

Red Roses - The Traditional Valentines Day Flower
So now that we have discussed the ways to order, lets look at some ideas for Valentines Day Flowers. Of course we offer the traditional Dozen Red Valentine Roses decked out for Valentine’s Day. My favorite is the Dozen Red & White Long Stem Roses. And don't forget we always have our delightful Gold Roses. These are real roses dipped in 24 K gold. There are other varieties available. Regardless of what you decide, I am sure you will love our new flower collection.

UGG Classics Are Truly Classic

2008-11-30T15:39:00.000-08:00

UGG Classic Boots - A Must for Winter Wear
Living and working in Sandpoint you learn the absolute must for a winter wardrobe. UGG boots the true Classics boot is on everyone’s list. They’ve been around too long to be a trend and are winter footwear must-haves. I did a little investigating to find out the difference between the UGG Classic boots, UGG Ultimate boots and UGG Ultra boots.

How did UGG Australia know 30 years ago that naming their first boot the UGG Classic boots was prescient? Yes, this ubiquitous boot has been around that long and has indeed become a classic in the true sense of the word. Love it or hate it (personally I love it), it’s not a fad and it’s proved that it’s here to stay. The UGG Classic Short boots and UGG Classic Tall boots basic colors are chestnut, chocolate brown, black and sand color. This year some optional colors are two go-with-everything metallics in gold and graphite and a gorgeous chocolate paisley design with patent highlights.

These boots are on every woman’s winter must have list which makes them the perfect, no-brainer Christmas gift. For best selection you have to buy them early in the season because they sell out nationwide.

If you are looking for UGG boots that offer more luxury and comfort then step up to the UGG Ultimate boots or UGG Ultra boots. They are similar looking but with a few differences between them.

First the similarities: they both have sheepskin outer with sheepskin lining, sturdy sole, removable and/or replaceable footbed and pretty decorative braid up the back of the UGG Ultimate Tall Braid boots and the UGG Ultra Tall boots.

Looking at the side profiles, the Ultimate has a slimmer look than the UGG Ultra boots. When trying them on, the Ultimate has a slimmer fit than the Ultra, making the UGG Ultimate boots a better choice if your foot is on the narrow side. Tuck a pair of skinny jeans in them and these are super cute for casual weekend wear. So if you are planning a ski trip this year make certain you come equipped with your favorite UGG boots.

Fall Gifts for Thanksgiving

2008-10-27T20:06:00.000-07:00

Send Thanksgiving Gift Baskets
When You Can't Make the Trip Back Home
That chill in the morning air reminds me of Thanksgiving and those fantastic Thanksgiving dinners my mother used to prepare. It makes my mouth water to think about those meals. This year we are spending the day with my wife's family so I will miss my mom's great Thanksgiving spread. At Arttowngifts.com we have Gift Baskets for every occasion you can imagine including Thanksgiving. So I will be sending my mom and dad and extended family a Thanksgiving Gift Basket to make up for my absence. There are so many to choose from I had a hard time making a choice. Who knows they might like the baskets better than my visits.

My brother and his family will be making a 5 hour drive to my parents house. I am sending them our Thanksgiving Gourmet Gift Basket because it is perfect to put in the
car for the drive. There is something for everyone including sparkling apple cider and gourmet coffee. My sister in law will love the chocolates while my brother and his son will enjoy the real food so to speak. The contents include cocktail rye bread and mustard so they can make cheese and summer sausage sandwiches to keep their appetites at bay. There is cheddar cheese popcorn and lots of other snacks for them to munch as they make the drive.

For my parents I finally settled on our Harvest Bowl with Gourmet Treats Thanksgiving Gift. I know that my mom will love the hand painted ceramic bowl used to hold the gourmet foods and treats instead of the traditional gift basket. There are Alaska Smoked Salmon Fillets for my dad and Walnut Fudge for my mom. If I know my dad he will hide this gift from all of the company so that he and mom can have a picnic on their own once the guests all leave. By that time he will be tired of turkey and will enjoy the alternatives.

As an added treat I am sending my mom a gold rose to add to her collection of these real roses dipped in gold. There are also other varieties available including silver dipped roses, platinum dipped roses and a variety of colors dipped in lacquer and trimmed in gold. My mother loves them. She uses these gold roses as a table arrangement instead of fresh flowers or a dried arrangement.

Just think by Thanksgiving the election will finally be over and hopefully the country will be settled down and ready for a delightful holiday season. I can almost smell the fresh snow that is sure to cover my small town of Sandpoint soon. There is already snow falling in the mountains. Snow boarding is just around the corner and before you know it, we will be Christmas shopping.

Better yet just shop here at Arttowngifts.com. Without the stress of traveling to retail stores, browsing through gift ideas can become an enjoyable activity.

Select birthday gift baskets around themes
Of course the birthday gift basket is the classic example of an attractive present that can purchased online. It features not just one, but a whole bunch of items that a recipient might enjoy. It is easy to find gift baskets online that follow certain themes. For example we have birthday gift baskets that incorporate the birthday theme and some even offer everything the recipient needs for their own birthday party. For adults I often recommend shopping around their hobbies, favorite treats or similar idea. For example send a coffee or tea gift basket if that is something they love. For chocolate lovers, send a chocolate gift basket. For the overworked, send a spa gift basket to suggest that they relax for few moments. There are movie lover’s baskets, book lover’s baskets, poker players’ baskets and different baskets for a variety of sports as well as wine and gourmet baskets. We even have several over the hill birthday baskets. For children, there are gift baskets filled with different kinds of activity sets including small toys, coloring materials and delicious treats.

Personalized birthday gifts of all sorts
If you really want to shine by giving a gift just for them, then personalized gifts are the way to go.

The most popular items that are engraved and can be ordered online are accessories like charms, pendants, lockets and even cufflinks. All sorts of glassware are also personalized and engraved. Allow a few days for engraving to avoid rush charges and overnight shipping expenses.

Fresh flowers are a sweet and simple birthday gift idea, but even better are gold roses that last a forever and look much fancier. These roses are actually flowers that have been dipped in 24kt gold, and are the perfect birthday gift for wives, girlfriends and mothers. Other varieties are available including silver roses, platinum roses and colored roses with gold trim. Mix and match or start a collection.

Aside from the wide range of choices for gifts, another convenience offered by shopping for presents online is the availability of delivery service. On time delivery of the birthday present is especially important for those sending the gifts out of town. While it is ideal that shopping for a gift should be taken care of at least a few days in advance, shopping on the day itself is still feasible with our last minute gifts. Just order before noon in the recipient’s time zone for same day delivery to most addresses. So even though there is just too much to do and too little time to shop for that perfect birthday gift, shopping online can save the day.

Give Gold Roses Instead of Flowers

2008-07-04T19:59:00.000-07:00

An alternative to traditional roses
Young girls and women love beautiful roses. They are a lovely way to celebrate a romantic holiday, congratulate an accomplishment or celebrate a birthday. But roses also fade and die pretty quickly and soon. The only thing that remains is a memory. An alternative to traditional roses is preserved, gold roses. Preserved roses are dipped in 24 K gold as well as platinum and silver. They are absolutely gorgeous and are guaranteed to last for years.

Gold roses - chosen at the peak of the blooming season
Each rose is chosen at the peak of its’ bloom and is dipped into precious metal of your choice. The process ensures that the rose is strong, so that it will not crumble or break. The dipped roses go through a 40 step process which ensures that the beauty of the rose is preserved. If you prefer color instead of dipping the entire rose in precious metal the rose can be dipped rose in lacquer to ensure that the color stays vibrant and so that the rose does not decay. Then the leaves and the stem of the rose are trimmed in either platinum or gold. These special types of roses are fantastic for celebrating anniversaries, romantic events, birthdays, Christmas, Valentine’s Day or just because.

Gold Roses available in a variety of styles
You can find gold dipped roses here at Arttowngifts.com. We also currently offer platinum roses, silver roses, colored roses trimmed in gold or platinum. You can purchase single stems or rose bouquets such as a dozen gold roses or bouquet of 3 pink and gold trimmed roses. Preserved roses also come in a variety of colors. You can purchase two-toned, colored roses with 24 K trim as well as colored, lacquer roses with platinum trim. For example, consider a single red rose trimmed in gold.

Gold Roses stunning beyond the photos
Traditional roses are beautiful, but compared to gold roses, they are well, ordinary. Even the highest quality of roses has a short-shelf life, and while you can enjoy their vibrancy for a short time, they die in a week’s time. What better way to ensure that the celebration of a special moment or occasion lasts far longer then a week. Preserved roses provide a keepsake that will last for a life time of memories.

Order a Gold Rose gift for your next special occasion
This sure to please gift also makes a great collection item. Start with one today and add a new rose for every special occasion. Before long your loved one will have a wonderful arrangement of roses that will last a life time.

Our Father’s Day Gift plan is in place so it is time for me to shop for my dad!
Once I finish my work for a holiday on the Arttowngifts.com site I turn my focus to my own shopping needs. So now it is time for me to think about my own Father’s Day plans. Because of the high cost of gas and the cost of an airline tickets I will not be with my dad this year. Being away from my father for Fathers Day is a first for me. I am in the process of remodeling my house and I need to watch my budget more than usual. I am trying to make the best of the situation by sending him an extra nice gift that is perfect for him.

My dad seems OK with the fact that I can not come home this year – but I am the one having a hard time. I was one of the fortunate kids who grew up with a great dad... the Father Knows Best kind. He made me feel special… like I could accomplish anything. He tells me how proud he is of everything I do whether it is receiving a high work honor or refinishing the kitchen cabinets. I really want to make him feel special this Dad’s Day. I considered several gifts before I made my final decision.

Wine Gifts are great for any occasion!
First I thought about sending my father our Premier Wine Collection from the Arttowngifts.com Last Minute Gift collection. This top of the line wine gift includes 3 notable bottles of wine & a collection of the finest gourmet foods available such as mixed nuts, cheese, crackers, truffles, smoked seafood, imported delicacies, specialty sauces or dips, wine biscuits, pretzels, cookies, fine teas, coffee, and more.

Personalized Gifts -- give Dad something just for him!
Then I decided that I wanted to send him some thing more personal so I decided on a Personalized Fathers Day Gift and selected the Executive Putter Personalized Golf Set from the Arttowngifts.com Golf Gift Collection. It has a wood case, augmented with brass a handle. It features an engraved brass plate that includes two lines of personalization. And that is just the case! The gift includes a putter that disassembles for easy storage, 2 balls and a wood practice cup. My dad loves to play golf so he will be thrilled with this golf gift.

Graduation day is tough for adults. They go to the ceremony as parents. They come home as contemporaries. After twenty-two years of child-raising, they are unemployed. ~Erma Bombeck

You are educated. Your certification is in your degree. You may think of it as the ticket to the good life. Let me ask you to think of an alternative. Think of it as your ticket to change the world. ~Tom Brokaw

Graduation is only a concept. In real life every day you graduate. Graduation is a process that goes on until the last day of your life. If you can grasp that, you'll make a difference. ~Arie Pencovici

Your schooling may be over, but remember that your education still continues. ~Author Unknown

Wherever you go, go with all your heart. ~Confucius

If at first you don't succeed, do it like your mother told you. ~Author Unknown

A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business. ~Henry Ford
