3 in 1 Wrap - Our Weekly Blog Giveaway!

I am kind of like a Girl Scout - always prepared!  Especially when it comes to chilly restaurants, movie theaters, and the like.  I always *always* bring a jacket, pashmina, sweater or scarf - whichever looks best with my outfit:)  But looky here - our Top it Off Wraps can be worn 3 different ways, so they look cute with almost anything!  AND they look amazing monogrammed!  Great for any of the women in your life that are always cold!  Think Mother's Day for sure!  One of you lucky readers is going to get one for FREE, because the 3 in 1 Wrap is our Weekly Blog Giveaway this week - woo hoo!


The Giveaway!
This week we are giving away one of our Top It Off - 3 in 1 wraps - with a monogram!  There are so many beautiful colors to choose from!  I of course would probably go with boring versatile black.  What would you go with?  The very fashionable and cute colors to brighten up your Spring & Summer wardrobe or black like me?:) 

Our Top it Off Cotton Cable-Knit Wraps wraps can be worn 3 different ways!  The wraps are 55% Cotton/45% Acrylic and are $50.  Such a cute, versatile, and functional gift - love it!  We are offering a free monogram with the purchase of a wrap through next Friday - see the coupon section below!

Do you want one?  I thought so!:)  All you have to do is comment on this blog post (if you are reading this on Facebook here is the direct link).  Let me know what color is your favorite!  I want to know how many people would go with my neutral color and hence not make me feel so bad about being practical/boring - it's the Capricorn in me - I can't help it!:)

Great Mother's Day Gift Ideas!

Mother's Day is quickly approaching (it's May 9th - exactly 2 weeks from Today!), so I thought I would give you some fun new gift ideas from Swagger!

Does your Mom love being outside at the beach or pool?  If so, Swagger can definitely hook your Mom up with some great gifts that are functional AND cute!  Gotta love that for Mom! 

Pictured here are our:
Foldable Hats (they come in a ton of colors) and you can fold them up in a ball and they pop right back out to there original shape!  Great for traveling or to just keep in your beach bag!

Lounge Chair Cover - Mom will never have to worry about her towel slipping down and exposing that awful chair again!

Lindsay Phillps' Interchangeable Flip Flops - Now Mom's flip flops can match ALL her bathing suits!

Beach cover ups - Lots of different choices in terry cloth or regular cotton both very stylish and comfortable.

Pamper your Mom with our new Shelley Kyle Luxurious Bath and Body Line!  We fell in love with this line at market and couldn't wait to get it in!  Shelley Kyle bath and body products come in three scents - Annabelle, McLendon, and Tiramani.  I always have a favorite scent in any line we carry, but I absolutely can not decide between these three scents because I honestly love them all!  Each scent comes in perfume, body lotion, foaming bath gel, and sugar scrub - so a great gift set can be made!

Is your Mom always on the go?  Maybe she needs cute new personalized luggage tags for her airplane trips?  Or possibly a monogrammed coffee mug for that early morning jolt of caffeine? Come by and check out our new personalized gift's line that we can print for you at the store in minutes!

 





Gardening is my Mom's favorite thing to do and she loves getting beautiful things to put in her garden!  Does your Mom fit in this category?  If so, check out our glass blown hummingbird feeders and glow in the dark yard stakes!












Finally, is your Mom an accessorizer (is that even a word)?  Either way, if your Mom fits in this category, you know what I'm talking about:)!  She changes her jewelry daily.  Always has the perfect necklace for every outfit, etc.  We just got several new jewelry designers at Swagger, so please come in to check it out - you won't be sorry!  (And maybe you'll even find something for yourself)!

So please stop by Swagger soon - we would LOVE to help you find the perfect gift for your Mother!

One more note - You will need to order monogrammed jewelry by Wendesday April 28th for it to be back in time for Mother's Day!

Brand NEW Black Letter Engraving and Filigree Monogram Pendants - these are the "cut out" mongrams that you all have been asking for!

Hope to see you soon,
