Fun Gifts for Lovers of Books

How many a man has dated a new era in his life from
the reading of a book. ~Henry David Thoreau, Walden

I am a bibliophile! Reading books nurtures my soul. I am not able to imagine life without “written words”. Two years ago, I was asked to join a wonderful book club. These monthly Tuesday nights at book club have been interesting, fascinating, and poignant evenings. The books selected by the charming ladies of the book club are very diverse. We have read books that have such varied subjects as a historical fiction of the south, a person given a second chance, and the disturbing thought of a utopian society. The name of my book club is “Ancora Imparo”. This is Latin for “I am still learning”. Wow, what a ride we are having...and we are still learning!

We should read to give our souls a chance to luxuriate. ~Henry Miller

My sister recently purchased me a Kindle. I treasure my kindle. Yet, I still relish buying books, borrowing and loaning books, and going to the library. Very often, I will loan out my books to friends. Instead of writing my personal information in the books, I use book labels. TmePieces provides two excellent ideas to personalize your books.

He who lends a book is an idiot. He who returns the book
is more of an idiot. ~Arabic Proverb

PSA Self Inking Stamp is a fun and stylish design for all your books and personal correspondence. You can conveniently stamp “from the library of” and your name in all of your books. The stamp size is 1.63" x 1.63" and includes a black ink cartridge providing up to 10,000 impressions. Your “from the library of” signature stamp will remind everyone that this book is from your personal library. Visit www.timepiecesgifts.com for more information and other fun styles.

I also personalized my books with book labels. The bookworm style is a colorful and whimsical rectangle 1.5" x 2” glossy labels. My labels are personalized with my name, email address, city and state. You can also create a signature look by using this design for your return address labels. This is a practical and fun gift for young readers and college students. Call Time Pieces for more information about this line.

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends;

they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. ~Charles W. Eliot

The Perfect Wedding Gift

One of my favorite things about owning a gift shop is finding companies that manufacture or produce gift lines made in the United States for my customers. I am happy to report that this month we found two such lines! In my previous blog I wrote about Carved Solution personalized soaps, located in Vermont. And this blog introduces Rolf Glass personalized glassware gifts which are produced in Mount Pleasant, PA.

Beautiful, elegant, classic and desired! Rolf Glass produces original, excellent quality glassware. These barware glasses, pitchers and ice buckets are the perfect gifts for any events and occasions.

For a wedding gift, the ice bucket is a thoughtful gift for the happy couple’s new life together. Engraved with their initials, the three-letter block monogram is very distinctive and classic. You can also complete the set by purchasing a monogram set of four wine glasses to match. These glasses make a great gift, but after admiring the quality and beauty of these items, you might want a set for your home as well!

Time Pieces strives to find lines that are unique, classic, beautiful, affordable, and made in the United States and Rolf Glass meets all of the criteria. Stop by Time Pieces to view the personalized glassware and watch for these items on our website. Rolf Glass will be on our website at www.TimePiecesGifts.com soon! Thank you and enjoy.

Finally Spring!!!

Finally, Spring has arrived! Soon I will be cleaning my messy lawn from the storms of this past winter. Yard work is my favorite Spring task because the air is cool, the sun is warming, and the birds are chirping. But I think the birds are actually asking me to go inside so they can finish building their nests in peace. After I come inside from cleaning up the lawn, I will wash my hands with Carved Solutions Personalized Soap.

Time Pieces newest personalized line is a tasteful and desirable product. Made in Vermont, these soaps are triple milled, 100% vegetable based and infused with aromatic fragrances and décor complimenting colors. These soaps make washing your hands a soothing, cleansing experience that will leave a lasting impression!

You can choose from many designs, scents, colors and sets to truly personalize the soaps to accommodate your decorative needs or your recipient’s personality. And, of course, each set is packaged in a beautiful contemporary box made in the United States

If you are attending a social or party, these lovely soaps are the perfect hostess or host gift. The Courtesy Gift Set will be appreciated by anyone. This set includes three – 3oz guest bars with 12 monogrammed, linen type hand towels. You can choose from 4 font types and two foil colors for the monogram. The cost of a set is only $29.00! And the price includes the personalized monogram. Elegant and affordable!

For dog lovers, we have a Dog Bone shaped soap that can be personalized with your beloved pooch’s name and it has a refreshing mint scent. Isn’t that a cute gift idea for the dog lover in your life?

Whether you are celebrating, moms, dads or grads; brides & grooms, anniversaries, new homes, birthdays or new babies, Carved Solutions at TimePieces has something perfect for every occasion! Thank you and Enjoy the Spring months....
