No Rest for the Wickeds ~ A Perfect Pink Sugar Type Collaboration

Pink Sugar Type Gift Basket Collaboration $40

I rarely 'connect' well with women, I don't have many girl friends, I'm kind of a freak. However, when I met Misty of WickedSoaps online, we clicked. Maybe it's because we're almost the same person in two different bodies? (I think that means she's a freak too!) We enjoy (and dislike!) a lot of the same things, and we want to take over the world with Pink Sugar!!! (Ok, ok, we want to take over the world anyway, but if it's with Pink Sugar Type, all the better!) I have even had the pleasure of meeting this awesome chick in person! We hung out one weekend long ago...(and we need to do it again!)

Anyway, we decided that we needed to do a collaboration, hence the Pink Sugar gift basket was born (it's our favorite scent!). Not your thing? Have no fear, we plan on doing some more in other scents. Have something you'd like to see? Shoot us a convo.

Not only would this gift basket make a great present for someone, but heck, why not pamper yourself? Mother's Day, birthday, Christmas, graduation...the gift giving occasions are endless!

Here's a list of everything it includes:

1 - 8 oz soy wax jar candle from AuntieDis
3 - 1 oz soy wax tart melts from TheTemptingTart
1 - 8 oz emulsifying sugar body polish from WickedSoaps
1 - 3 oz body butter creme from WickedSoaps
1 - 4 oz goat's milk soap from WickedSoaps

Rustic Rainbow - Undiscovered Etsy Talent

Amor Tattoo Style Ornament $14.50

I want you all to meet my friend Jennifer. She has an adorable and creative shop called Rustic Rainbow, where she combines her 3 main artistic pleasures (hand sewing, fabric and FELT!) to create the most wonderful hair adornments, pendants, necklaces and brooches, and wall decor. She lives in Pennsylvania with her hubby, 2 dogs and a cat named "Stinky" (of course I had to throw that in there!) LOL. I totally love her tattoo inspired designs! However, if tattoo inspired isn't your thing, she's definitely got plenty of other goodies to keep you busy wandering through her shop for hours!

Ask Alice Cameo POPlet $18.00

She believes that, although a necessary evil, spending hours promoting is very important to getting your shop recognized. She also believes that it's very important to find your niche. (Which she definitely has!)

Beautiful Butterflies Hair Embellishment Clip Set $15.00

So stop by Jennifer's shop and show her some Etsy love! I could get lost in her shop for hours just looking at all the pretties!

Sweet As Can Be ~MyOtherPrincess~

Tahitian Vanilla Bath Cupcake 3 Pack $7.00

Let me direct your attention to one of the sweetest shops (and sellers) on Etsy!!! Meet Miranda, the head cupcake mistress at myotherprincess. She concocts the most delicious fizzy bath cupcakes EVER, so you should head directly to her shop! And try not to eat them, although you will definitely want to! Not only are they deliciously scented, they're skin moisturizing and definitely a wonderful for a 'pamper yourself' bath. Or maybe one of those 'lock yourself away from the children' baths. With scents like Sugar Cookie, Cinnamon Bun, Dulce de Leche and Brazilian Nut Coffee, it can be hard to choose. They come in two sizes and multipacks. and I'm thinking Valentine's Day guys! Perfect as gifts for your special woman! :)

But wait! Not only does Miss Miranda make these frothy and fizzy cupcakes, she also makes soap! This pumpkin soap is one of my favorites! (You may have noticed my addiction to pumpkin products by now!) Smells so delicious!

Pumpkin Pie and Vanilla layered soap $3.75

I can imagine a wide variety of Miranda's products in a huge gift basket...what a great gift!
