it's time to spread some irish cheer... PLUS spring is just around the corner!

shop@pinkolive.com (pink olive) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 02:35:00 +0000

make MARCH a magic month with st. patty's day gifts!

it's march and that means that spring is in the air. buds are opening and birds are chirping ~ just in time to celebrate st. patrick's day. in light of this festive occasion, Pink Olive has put together a collection of irish themed gifts that will bring good luck to us all. from beautiful framed photographs by irish artist and east village resident ciaran tully to shiny brass "good luck" shamrock home decor by ten things, it's time to spread some irish cheer.

it's hard to find a more magical color than green. this symbol of renewal, prosperity, and environmentalism is the perfect color for spring and the national color of ireland. take a look at the green gardener's soap from saipua with its subtle scents of mint and rosemary. help save the environment with a botanica tote bag from envirosax. these roomy and angelable bags make a stylish springtime statement with their green foliage inspired prints. try pairing it with a cool green stuff book, a guide to renewable and recycled products. or celebrate this most spritely holiday with a green fairy or green angel key chain from the string doll gang.

use these gifts as bait for leprechaun traps or as "leprechaun gifts" for kids! or have your own st. patty's day treasure hunt with family and friends. hide clues around your yard, apartment or neighborhood and put together a pot of green to find at the end!

from all of us at Pink Olive, happy st. patrick's day!

xoxo

p.s. ssshhh.... we have a special offer for you all this saturday, the first official day of spring! please join us in store and get five Pink Olive bucks for any purchase of $50 or more!

mom-to-be gifts...just for mom!

shop@pinkolive.com (pink olive) — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 04:24:00 +0000

looking for the perfect gift for the expecting mother in your life? need something that's just for mom? as much as we love giving gifts for the impending little tyke, we know that sometimes mom needs something special just for her, so we've got you covered with a range of products designed just for that lovely mom-to-be.

pregnancy is a unique and wonderful time but it can also be stressful. why not give the gift of relaxation with a bottle of mama belly oil. this soothing oil works well in a warm bath or massaged directly onto the skin (and it helps prevent stretch marks!) pair it with a pretty candle from lollia and you've got your friend (or yourself) a truly luxurious treat.

help her create the perfect pregnancy keepsake with "the belly book," a nine-month journal where she can record everything with space for notes, photos, even ultrasound images!

or give her a way to keep track of her busy schedule (and the rest of the family’s) with "mom's ultimate family organizer: a one stop planner for busy moms." this is the creme de la creme of personal organizers and includes, not only a calendar and directory, but sticky notes, tear-out lists, pockets, and useful tips from fellow mothers who've been through it all before. give your busy mom-to-be a fun way to take control of her time!

sometimes moms-to-be just need a little support, so give her yours with a "you owe me: 30 favors for the mom-to-be" coupon book which includes an array of coupons she can redeem for everything from an ice cream Sunday to a date at the movies. pair it with a "you grow girl" card and tell her how pretty she looks with her mom-to-be glow.

so, lets hear it for all the moms-to-be out there who deserve all the love, support, and pampering we can give them!

happy growing!

Cover those BabyLegs!

shop@pinkolive.com (pink olive) — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:10:00 +0000

once you discover babylegs leg warmers, they will quickly became one of your favorite baby wardrobe essentials because of their utility, practicality, and stylish appeal. babylegs can be worn on the legs from newborn age all the way up to 10 years old and adults can even wear them on the arms. with so many wearing options, one size really does fit all!

babylegs can be worn year round, adding extra warmth to little legs with an added layer under pants and by eliminating the bare leg gap between trousers and socks. babylegs also provide sun protection in the summer and are so easy to carry in a diaper bag for warmth on in-between weather days. babylegs help to protect the delicate skin on little knees against red marks from hard surfaces and rug burn during the crawling phase.

at last, you can finally forget struggling to get the tops of tights up over diapers anymore, plus little feet remain free for successful crawling, walking and dancing. babylegs make changing diapers hassle free and potty training much easier. they work great worn with a dress, a pair of shorts, or even just a onesie and with so many adorable patterns, designs and eye-popping colors for girls and boys, you are sure to find many styles to match your little one’s personality. you will find babylegs so useful, cute, and long lasting that you will want to stock up.

for the month of march, Pink Olive is stocking up! for every pair that you purchase online or in-store, you will have the chance to win another pair of babylegs. you can never have too many!

happy shopping!

send some love with letterpress!

shop@pinkolive.com (pink olive) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:10:00 +0000

a letterpress card makes a very special statement. created using traditional techniques that have changed very little since gutenberg's 15th century invention of moveable type, letterpress cards are unique works of art made with time honored skill and craftsmanship.

here at Pink Olive we love the personal touch that letterpress can bring to a card so we’re always sure to have lots on hand from a variety of unique designers.

elum, a small company based in southern California, brings a modern sensibility to the letterpress tradition. crafted on eco-friendly cotton rag paper and printed with soy based inks, the sophisticated whimsy of a card by elum is sure to put a smile on any loved one's face.

the intricately playful "monkey around" card brings a jungle of fun to the eyes of a friend.

or tell someone “you're the only one who can make me laugh (til my belly aches).”

you can also "super size" it with this comical card or send a little “mini me” to celebrate the bundle of joy in your life. the options are endless when looking for a cute way to tell that special someone how you feel? try a letterpressed "love note" or a gorgeous "love keeps growing" card.

happy card giving!
