It’s early in December, but even so we are really getting in the giving spirit. Since we’re in the business of helping families with inspirational gift giving, we felt that the best way to accomplish this is by making it easier than ever before at SG! First, for a limited time EVERY retail sale (non wedding & event related) is going out with FREE shipping. Yes, every sale, regardless of the order amount. We haven’t quite decided yet how long we’ll be in this generous mood, so I’d encourage you to take advantage asap.
Not only that, but we’re selling our most popular item, Bright Gems for His Crown, our devotional for children, for its lowest price ever. For the entire month of December it will be selling at $8.50 instead of our regular price of $11.50. With that price plus the free shipping, you just can’t go wrong purchasing it here and now. Surely there is a child on your list who could benefit from these devotionals! AND. . . other prices are being slashed as well, as you will see if you go here and scroll down to “Christmas Presents From Us to You.”
Have a blessed weekend and have fun shopping with us, especially while we’re in a giving mood ourselves!
Well, we just got a notice from our web hosting service that we need to apply an upgrade of this blog. In the notice we’re told that this or that can go wrong so I’m not quite sure what to expect. Sooooo, if you don’t see us around for a while you’ll know what happened. Once things get out of whack with computer glitches or problems, I typically have a difficult time getting back on track. Wish us the best please as we attempt this upgrade in the next day or so.
Hope to get back on with a post soon. At least I hope. . .
DaySpring has a neat new product just in time for Thanksgiving–an inspirational wooden caddy to sort your utensils at gatherings. This is something I just might get for myself! Click on the image and go shopping for this and some of their other neat items! Remember, you’ll be helping us out if you go to do your shopping there from here or our website page.
A tip: I think this would make a nice bridal shower gift. Lots of uses for this one!
The Old Farmers Almanac has a wealth of helps and ideas on a huge number of topics. A link to this page came up on my Facebook homepage a short bit ago and I thought it worth sharing here.
When you go to this article entitled “Best Bet Wedding Gifts,” you might want to also check out a couple of links over to the right of the article which are also wedding related. One is an article about wedding cakes that some of you may be interested in.
About hope chests. This is an old-fashioned concept that I hope never goes out of fashion. I know there are still young ladies who have them, so that’s encouraging. By the way, we carry an excellent book that talks about preparing for marriage in a way that goes beyond hope chests. I would strongly encourage you to check this book out for future reference and purchase.
Lately we’ve been advertising in mommy bags, so if you’ve come to our site as a result of one of our inserts, welcome! Our latest enclosures for the bags have been bookmarks which we made up for some recent events, so if you attended one of those we surely hope you use the special offer which is attached to the bookmark! And, of course, we hope you use the bookmark not only to keep your place in whatever you may be reading, but to also remind you of us. Come visit us again and often!
As I am quite a fan of Beautiful Girlhood and know that quite a few of our friends and customers are too, I wanted to give a quick link for the new blog that one of our customers/suppliers, Pumpkin Seed Press, has started. It looks delightful! Go over and visit “B’twixt & B’tween” as soon as you have opportunity, especially if you’re a mom with daughters.
This has become such a common thing in our day, that it’s doubtful that a bride wouldn’t know about it, but just in case. This video is very simple and basic and pretty much tells you all you would need to know. I’m sure the actual setup is different for each store, but for those who are not very computer literate, we’d suggest recruiting the help of someone who is.
PARENTS: “Fill your children’s minds with Scripture. Let the Word dwell in them richly. Give them the Bible, the whole Bible, even while they are young.” ~ J.C. Ryle
This was posted on the J.C. Ryle Facebook page today, and it seemed to be a good time to give a quick reminder that we’ve moved our children’s ministry from our main website to a new place. We still have our Speakables writing activities at that new site and hope to soon have another writing contest which will be hosted there. Visit the new blog, still under the theme of helping children to grow.
By the way, there is a riddle posted at the children’s site that you might want to take a stab at.
When you purchase items from a catalog or from an online store, are you ever resentful about shipping? I know I often am. You see something you really want at a reasonable price and then upon checking out, you see the shipping costs added on and wish you didn’t have to have those extra dollars put on your account or credit card. But alas, these charges are a necessary part of the buying and selling of merchandise in the world in which we live. Of course, going to the store and getting it yourself can undoubtedly be more cost effective, at least if it’s not too far. Personally, I like shopping right here from my home, sparing myself from needing to take the time, gas expense, and wear and tear on my car and nerves. So, I’d rather pay the shipping. I’m pretty thankful for that truck which pulls up at my front door, delivering me the goodies which I’ve not stepped one foot out of my house to go and get.
Here at SG, we think we have shipping charges which are more than reasonable and economical, but do want to let any folks know who happen to live in the metro Philly area in PA or NJ, that you can now choose “Pickup” as a shipping method when checking out. If you want to work something out with us on how to facilitate that, give us a quick call or email us about it. We’ll be glad to do what we can to help you out!
