Great Gift Ideas for Children

Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin or family friend, buying just the right gifts for children can be challenging! It’s tough to know a child’s (or their parents’) tastes in clothing, let alone the right size. And it’s not always easy to know which toys are appropriate, or to keep up with which toys children might already have.

It seems that more and more of our customers are having great success with flags as gifts for children. As much as we all love flags in outdoor settings, they also make great indoor artwork in children’s bedrooms or play rooms!!

Flags can help make your gift-giving easy and fun: size isn’t an issue with flags; they’ll continue to be a colorful addition to the room as the child gets older; we have hundreds of designs for you to choose from; and they’re a unique & fun gift that can be used year-round!

Flag Art in Children's Play Rooms

Using flags indoors isn’t complicated – they can easily be hung on a wall with a wooden dowel and picture hook. Or they can be mounted on metal or painted doors, like a child’s bedroom door, or a window with a small plastic dowel that attaches with small suction cups.

"Chilly & Company" Printed Garden Flag

The smaller window/door dowel accommodates garden-size flags in both printed and handmade applique styles. The larger, wall dowel accommodates standard-size flags in both printed and applique styles. Decide which size is best, and then choose from hundreds of fun and colorful designs from almost as many themes as you can imagine!

"Christmas Moose" Applique Garden Flag

Hopefully this idea will help make your holiday shopping a little less stressful and will help you choose just the right gifts for the little ones in your lives!

Happy Flag Flying!

Way back in January of this year, I was at the Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings show and was taken by the new “Berry Wreath” holiday monogram design from Evergreen Enterprises. I know, it’s a little scary that I was already ordering holiday designs almost a year before the holidays, but that’s the way retail works!

Berry Wreath Holiday Monograms from Evergreen

Available in standard and garden flags as well as matching doormats, Berry Wreath is just a stunning design featuring a wreath of bright red berries with a green bow, encircling a green monogram letter. The entire design is set in a soft white background with golden fleur de lis highlights. And, on the flags, the applique letters and bows are also set off with gold lame thread accents.

It’s a wonderfully elegant and festive design that we’re excited to have this holiday season. And it’s one that we think will become a favorite for all of you who love and collect outdoor monogram design pieces.

I also wanted to remind those of you who received our Fall/Holiday catalog that our “Get 15% Off on Orders Over $50″ sale ends on Saturday, October 31st, 2009. If you haven’t taken advantage of such a great savings, don’t forget to place your order before time runs out – you can even get the Berry Wreath collection at 15% off with a $50 minimum purchase!

If you’re not on our mailing list and didn’t receive our catalog, or if you’ve already made your purchase but have someone on your holiday list who likes outdoor design, you can use promotional code B488 on any new orders to get the same great offer.

Happy Flag Flying!

P.S. As this post was being put together, I happened to speak with our Evergreen sales rep and found out that her company has received all of the Berry Wreath inventory for the holiday season. Once they sell out of any of the Berry Wreath pieces those pieces will no longer be available for 2009! I Don’t put it off, order your flags and mats now if you would like them for this holiday season.

P.P.S. Remember that to receive the 15% discount, the promotional code B488 must be entered in the online order from or mentioned when making a purchase by phone or in our retail store.
