Leave a comment and share what your favorite wedding gift was!

#1 ~ We’re delighted to feature Savoie Faire Photography, an Etsy shop that features custom name frame prints and cards created with various objects that represent letters of the alphabet.

Meet Christine…

Hi! I’m an avid crafter & was bitten by the photography bug a few years ago. I was looking for an outlet where I could combine my love for photography & Photoshop and found the perfect match with my custom name frames and photo jewelry.

About the name “Savoie Faire Photography”… Savoie is my family name. It’s Cajun French and sounds like the French term, Savoir-Faire (sav wär fair), which means “to know (how) to do” (something). I thought it was a good fit for my photo collages, so that’s how it came to be! ;)

Personalized Name Frame Print (10×20) unframed

nameframe

Unique, one of a kind gift for Mother’s day, birthday, new baby, housewarming, anniversary or wedding! Perfect for home or office!

Your choice of name or word is created with a collage of black & white alphabet photos, extra personalization is available at no extra charge. Print is unframed, measures 10″x20″ and is printed by a professional lab on Kodak Endura Luster paper. No matting is necessary with this photo collage and you have the option of 15 different background colors. $25.00 retail value

#2 ~ We’re delighted to feature Creations de Florence, an Etsy shop that features unique hand painted glassware.

Meet Florence…

I am originally from France and welcome you to my Etsy shop!

Surround yourself with my handcrafted, beautiful creations. My work is inspired by nature, world cultures and modern trends. Each work of art is hand painted and signed by me.

Each glassware piece begins with clear glass and I use vivid and transparent glass paints with a variety of techniques including sponging, brushes and fine point painting to create an intricate and unique design for every piece.

My signature “Gribouillage” pieces are named after the French word that means scribbling ~ it is a unique technique that my friends and clients adore.

These custom pieces can be transformed into provincial French country gardens, beautiful bold animal prints or art déco designs.

My favorite wedding gift was this great photo album from my mother in law.
Great giveaway!

I really love these items again. I’d love to get a personalized name for my sons’s new big boy room. So cool!

I love all of these shops. I have bought from one of them before. Great ideas!

Oh my goodness… all three of these gifts are so awesome!

I have only been to a few wedding as I’m just now at that age where my friends are all starting to settle down, but my favorite gifts that I have seen have always been ones that are personal to both the bride and groom. Something that incorporates their personalities and interests. One I saw, a friend of the wedding couple knew they both love X-Men, so he took a wedding issue from the comic and painted a much larger version of that comic issue with the couple on the cover and their wedding date in the little blurb. It was adorable! I’m getting married in the fall, so I can’t wait to see what my closest friends come up with!

These are all great as usual. Thanks Leigh Anne and Sherra for providing these great giveaways as well as introducing us to some wonderful and unique (and very artistic!) people. I will definitely be using many of them for my gift giving.

The greatest gift I received for my wedding 34 years ago was my sweet hubby!! What a catch.

What a way to end your fabulous gift giving! Other than
the wonderful sentimental gifts that we received from our friends and family; my parents and sister/husband gave us a deluxe vacuum cleaner that I am still using today, 23
years later! I am known for how much time I spend sweeping the floors. Please enter my name in your marvelous giveaway prize drawing! Many thanks!

These are wonderful gifts!

Such beautiful, unique items!

As always, Love your Stuff!!!! I could use all of it…

It has been 50 years since I was married to this wonderful man and there is no way I am going to remember what my favorite wedding gift was. But I am so happy that I chose the man I chose.

Thank youy for such a wonderful web site.

Love these gifts for the giveaway! To be honest, I don’t remember too many of the gifts we recieved from our wedding but I would have to say that personal love stories (encouragement that we could get through the good & the bad) and words of advice were a hit!

I love personalized items they are so unique and are fun to decorate with or even give as gifts. Put me in for sure. Thanks

Beautiful gifts! I would love to win one of these. Thanks!

Love that plate, and I could always use more stamps!

I love all of the items, especailly the personalized name.

Thanks!

I really like these! Count in me on the drawing. :)

I was just showing my husband one of those personalized name collages last night. Sweet!

Once again y’all have some wonderful gift! Thanks for the opportunity to win them!

What lovely gifts! I received lots of wonderful gifts for our wedding. Gifts from the registries were practical, whereas creative gifts were unique and unexpected.

Awesome gifts!!

Fabulous gifts, hope I win!

Great Gifts! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to possibly win one of these!

My favorite memory of our wedding gifts was my 16 year old brother in law who was helping take the gifts was not gentle enough with a beautiful glass bowl and was broken when we opened the gift. He then confessed to his carelessness and we got a picture of us, the gift and him. As far as actual gifts go, it had to be the handkerchief my dad gave me that was my mothers! I love these ideas as we enter the wedding season. Thank you!!!

Wow! You always have the coolest giveaways! And I do love that you feature women with Etsy shops – that is so neat! I would love to be entered! Thank you!

Wow what awsome gifts and thanks for these great gifts and a chance to win them. Thanks so much Please pick me on the stamp or any of them.

Thanks again for all of these gifts and ideal of where we can get these gifts if we don’t win them.

Wow, I am embarrassed that I really don’t specifically remember any gifts that I absolutely loved from our wedding. I think I remember the crazy ones a little more! But this is a great giveaway.

Wonderful gifts! I hope I win!

the gifts look wonderful!
just started getting your email updates, and i’m enjoying the blog you have here! :)

It has been almost 26 years since our wedding and I don’t really remember any specific favorite, although I do remember taking back some of the things that we got 2 of and using the money to get a Nintendo Game System. Love the give aways too!

I’m not sure if it was my favorite wedding gift at the time, but one that I have used tons in my 20 years of marriage is a large stock pot. It gets used a couple of times a week for cooking spaghetti, soup, etc.

..WOW! what talented friends — beautiful gifts. My favorite wedding gift was a handmade crocheted table piece from my husbands grandmother in Croatia. That is a gift I will always treasure, she passed on several years ago, but everytime I use it on a table I’m gently reminded it is something she ‘touched’ and I know it was made with much love.

What fun and great gifts!

These are great giveaways!!!

You always find some of the most unique and beautiful items! I love every one of these!

These are all such great designers/shops! I love those custom names!

Great giveaway again. Good luck everyone!

Wonderful! I love them all.

I would love to win any of these, but my favorite is the name picture.

I would be grateful to win any of these items. I especially love the name collage. But, the plate is gorgeous as is the self-inking stamp. That’s the nicest self-inking stamp in a long time. You ladies have great taste!

On a second marriage so our 6 kids were all there. Seeing them so excited to become a family was the best gift. All of your gift ideas are great. I needed some ideas for mothers day and for some up coming birthdays and I found them here. Thanks!!!

Oh to much fun, i would really love to win anything.

Way Cool and so pretty. Count me in.

I can’t say that this was my favorite wedding gift but I still have the microwave we got for a gift almost 21 years ago and it still works! (It’s no longer in my home but I use it daily in my classroom!)

My husband still thinks the set of steak knives was our best gift! Personaly I liked the hanging stained glass of the daffadils that I recieved from my mom. She had one just like it hanging in her kitchen window for many years. I was so surprised when she told me that she had bought one for me too at the same time and kept it all those years waiting to give it to me!

Love the items you find! I would be happy with any of these but especially like the personalized stamp!

I love the personalized name frames! What great ideas for a wedding gift!

Awesome giveway! I would love any of these items.

I simply adore the hand painted plate. It’s gorgeous!

What a fun giveaway! I especially like the personalized name frame print.

Wow! What wonderful gift ideas! While I like all of them, the personalized name photo is really cool! Thanks for some great sites to go and check out!

I think my favorite wedding gift was an ice cream maker a very dear friend of mine gave us.

Oh, my…it’s been so long ago that I’m afraid I can’t remember a favorite wedding gift, although my sister-in-law painted a tray with a combination of our last names that still hangs on the kitchen wall of our vacation home.

Love the name stamp! My most memorable wedding gift was a surprise visit from my Aunt Chrissy from Ireland!

Oh my what nice things, I would love them all. My wish list grows.

I love all of them!! But my favorite is the return address stamp. SO cool!!

oh, if I could be so lucky! Count me in on the drawing.

Favorite gift?…my sister made us a beautiful cross stich wall hanging. Isn’t it always the personalized gifts that we remember the most?

i absolutely love all of the great giveaways! especially the PERSONALIZED NAME PHOTOGRAPHY. truly brilliant.
now, THAT’S thinking outside the box!

You always find such wonderful and creative giveaways!

After almost 49 years of marriage my husband and I still remember the over-abundance of casserole dishes and blankets that came our way. My favorite gift was my wedding ring, which I still wear with pride.

How do you keep finding all these fabulous items?????????? I love them all!

Favorite wedding gift was a beautiful crochet table runner with our last name. Must have taken forever to make and we’ll cherish forever!

I am such a wannabee- I want the talent to make all of these, but hey, if I can’t make them-I would love to win them!!!

I love the return address stamp. You find the neatest things!

Please count me in!!

I love to give and receive handmade gifts. They’re the best. One wedding gift I received was a walaby pelt from Australia!! And not needing (or wanting) it at home, I took it to my classroom and my 1st graders loved it! Please enter me in the drawing.

I love the return stamp and all of the cool things you share everyday!!!!!

Great gifts! I would love to win any of them.

Best gift has been the china…it would have never made it to the top of my “to buy” list and I am so glad to have beautiful dishes for special days.

My favorite wedding gifts were a small Lenox swan and my china. Out lasted everything else – with the exception of my crockpot (still cooking with that). I see the swan every morning next to our wedding picture and use the china when I prepare a special dinner for 12 loved ones!
These are fun gifts this time!

You are so great at finding fun gifts and sharing creative minds with us. Thanks! Hope I’m a winner!

I got a lot of great kitchen gifts since I love cooking, but I do have a salad bowl that I always get compliments on.
