Good Gracious!

We truly appreciate the celebrities who take the time to write personal thank-you notes for their BopStarBaby Celebrity Baby Baskets. Here’s a perfect example; an email we received this month from Andrea Canning, a correspondent on ABC-TV’s Good Morning America:
“Thank you so very much for the wonderful baby gifts for Charlotte! They are just so so precious! I love the tights and BabyLegs, but every item was just so nice. I will definitely recommend to friends and keep an eye out for any segments we do on baby stuff. Thank you again! So thoughtful :)”

Sustainability is still a buzzword in the gifts and decorative accessories industry, and it’s not too late to green your store — if even by just a little bit.

There are two ways to go green. The first is obvious — stock eco-friendly products. “Consumers’ interest in green products has not waned, and they are still willing to pay premium price points for quality, stylish and authentically green goods,” according to Home Accents Today.
