Family Name Signs Compliment Your Home
We have just added a new line of Family Name Signs that start with family names in the background. Then we add a second layer of content such as a favorite quote, important date, couple’s or children’s first names or similar text in a contrasting lettering style.

These Family Signs are part of our new Double Text Sign Collection which features double layers of content. This trendy sign style is fast becoming one of our most popular sellers. With many varieties from which to choose, you are sure to find the perfect sign for your home or that important gift for most any occasion.

For example you can commemorate the year your family was "established" by adding your wedding date to the top layer over your family’s last name. One example is our double layer Established Family Sign. You can change it up a bit with our Couples Family Name Established Date Sign where we have added the couples’ first names on top of the family name plus another line with the wedding date below the main lines. These examples are from our Wedding Sign collection.

The beauty of these signs is that you can choose your own sign and text colors, lettering styles, format and content. You can also create your own double layer sign with our Create Your Own Two Layer Custom Sign.

Groomsmen Gifts You Can Afford
OK, guys. Come on. Be honest. Admit that you had NO idea what was to follow once you got up off that one knee. The date, the dress, the flowers ....THE WEDDING! Now that the thrill and excitement of the proposal is wearing off and you have started working down your long list of “to do’s” it is time to think about your Groomsmen Gifts.

Reward Your Groomsmen with A Gift of Appreciation
You will find that your Wedding Attendants deserve way more than just a gift. By the time your wedding is over they will have rented a tux, traveled to the wedding destination, helped set up for the wedding and participated in your rehearsal dinner. Then to top off the fun, your groomsmen also plan and host that fabulous bastion of tradition, the bachelor’s party. And finally they are there to ward off a last minute attack of nerves. Surely you want to reward both each Groomsman and your Best Man with a great gift of appreciation.

Consider Hobbies When Selecting Your Groomsmen’s Gifts
No one knows your groomsmen better than you. Let them know that you are thinking about their interests by selecting a gift that celebrates their hobby. For example, you can select from a variety of sports themes when purchasing bar gifts and accessories. For the billiard player our three piece Pub Collection pictured above right is an ideal gift. This bar set includes a matching Vintage Personalized Billiard Sign, a Billiard Coaster Set and a Billiard Beer Stein. Each of the items is personalized with the recipient’s name and a date. You can also purchase these sets or the individual items in a variety of other themes and even other items such as the Bait and Tackle Personalized Humidor or the Irish Whisky Personalized Poker Set.

Nothing Says You Care More Than A Personalized Groomsmen Gift
Our top selling Groomsmen Gift includes a Heavy Glass Pewter Medallion Beer Mug. You can select medallion’s with different headings such as Groomsman, Bestman, Usher and Groom. A similar version is available in black. Engraving on the medallion is free. Most grooms add the recipient’s name and the wedding date. Many of our customers give the pewter mug to their groomsmen and best man and then purchased our similar high quality Pewter Medallion Shot Glass for their ushers and other wedding attendants. Don’t forget to include your dad and future father in law in your gift list.

Groomsmen Gifts for the Sports Lover
If your groomsmen love sports then they are sure to value our selection of Sports Team Prints. There are a variety of styles from which to choose. Each version allows you to feature your groomsmen as a part of the team. Of course for the golfer there is always the Personalized Executive Putter Set which just one of the outstanding choices in our Golf Gifts department.

Order Personalized Wedding Gifts Early
While Personalized gifts can be turned around quickly to save money it is best to order the gifts no later than a month before your wedding. By starting early you avoid rush shipping fees and if there are any problems there is still plenty of time to rectify the issue. Arttowngifts.com offers free engraving on items offered in our Personalized Gift line. Remember to check each gift when the package arrives. At Arttowngifts.com we are happy to help you select gifts you can afford for your wedding attendants.
Let’s face it moms are hard to shop for. Every year Mothers Day comes around and you are left with the same question, “What would Mom like?” You can’t just ask her, because you already know exactly what she’d say. It’s always the same answer,” Oh, you don’t have to get me anything.”
This would be nice, but we all know we can’t just stiff our moms on Mother’s Day. Luckily for all of you that have the same problem as me, there is a website to help out. Arttowngifts.com has hundreds of gifts any mom would love.

I crept slowly, watching each step making sure I walked on a solid foundation. There was barley any room to maneuver, I had no choice but to stay the course. There was a distinguished smell in the air, a smell that only a war zone could have. Then it happened, I stepped right on the jagged booby trap. Howling in pain I knew what needed to be done, I knew I had to end the madness. I wasn’t in Cambodia, I wasn’t in Afghanistan, or Iraq. I was in my own home, and the war zone was located in my son’s bedroom.

Anyone who has kids knows how hard it is to make them put away their toys. More and more keep appearing until the floor has disappeared. This is a battle I fight everyday, but I believe I have found an answer. Arttowngifts.com now sells some of the best Handcrafted Toy Boxes and Toy Chests that I have seen. These Toy boxes are available in Oak, Cherry, and Espresso wood finishes. There are also a number of different options available to customize your new toy box.
Do you have a young child, just starting to learn their ABC’s? There is no better way to teach them then with a Toy box with the ABC’s laser engraved in “gold leaf” lettering. This box will not only serve as a storage container for all of juniors belongings, but will also help in his development as he learns to read.

Does your kid sometimes act like they do not know where to put their belongings away? Arttowngifts.com has fixed this problem by offering a wide array of toy chest that are personalized with the child name. These toy boxes come in oak, cherry, and espresso wood finishes. The name can be laser etched in a variety of different fonts, or you can choose to have raised wood lettering.

Your child’s room no longer looks like a war zone. There are no more booby traps lying on the floor, but there is still that lingering smell. Arttowngifts.com can help that too with the cedar base option for the toy boxes. For a small fee add an aromatic eastern tongue and groove cedar base to your toy box and freshen up that room.

There is no guarantee that your child’s room will be gracing the cover of “Better Homes and Gardens” any time soon, but buying a handcrafted toy box or Toy Chest from Arttowngifts.com will certainly be a step in the right direction.
There is no better accessory to complete an outfit than a great looking bracelet. The right bracelet lets you add your own personal style and flair to your look. Arttowngifts.com has some of the best looking handmade bracelets that will get you the attention you deserve.

Remember, you don’t need to shop a big name overpriced jewelry stores to get what you want. In fact more times then not these stores only carry generic or overpriced mass purchased jewelry that just can’t represent our individuality like a handmade piece can.

Arttowngifts.com just added a new spa gift line that in addition to featuring outstanding lotions and potions comes packaged in interesting functional containers such as Spa Giftsplanters,medicine cabinets, magazine racks, tote bags, train cases and art deco boxes. So while the recipient can enjoy the luxury of fancy lotions and scrubs, scented candles and other aromatherapy products, they will also continue to enjoy the gift containers for years to come. Check out the Green Tea Spa Gift for yourself. This popular gift is sure to please. Another example is this Healing Spa Basket. Once these high end scented bath products are used, the high quality wicker basket will continue service in the bathroom, bedroom or even home office.

This new bed and bath spa product collection emphasizes that these days a gift basket is anything but a basket. Today the term "gift basket" is utilized to describe a broad range of products grouped together into a themed collection of related and useful gifts. In many cases the container used to temporally house the gift collection serves a practical purpose such as reusable planters, trays, bowls and collectible boxes.

For example in the case of baby gift baskets such as the Babies Essential Blue Gift Basket the set includes everything a need mom needs for a new baby all packaged in a functional diaper bag. The Newborn Baby Blue Bassinet features a real bassinet as the container for a variety of baby products.

Wine GiftsShipped fine wines are often grouped with high end gourmet foods and packaged in interesting containers. For example an antique replica leather chest is used to package a VIP Corporate Wine Line. A replica of an antique travel trunk is used to hold an International Wine & Gourmet Gift. Another favorite container of course is the traditional picnic basket. Collapsible coolers are also popular.

With the buying power of companies such as Arttowngifts.com that specialize in gift baskets the customer received much greater value when buying a gift basket than they could derive if the items were purchase individually. The examples are numerous but the theme is the same. Gift baskets today include high end consumables with practical purposeful containers for a gift that keeps on giving.
