Support Report

I’m back with my second installment of the Support Report (a monthly breakdown of the ABP sponsors so that you get the lowdown on who holds our hand around these parts and I get a chance to say thankyouthankyouthankyou).  And speaking of support, there is nothing that says ‘supportive’ like mothers.  (At least that is what I tell Will everyday!)  So in honor of the upcoming mother’s day extravaganza, I would like to show you some of the great stuff that you can score at our sponsor’s spots for your favorite mom. 

First, let me introduce you once again to The Monogram Chick. 

Monogram Chick provides personalized gifts for babies, children and adults.  Everything from monogramed tote bags to personalized serveware, Monogram Chick puts that personalized touch on gifts for everyone special in your life.

Wouldn’t these customized burp clothes be excellent for that new mom (like me!) or for the expectant mother.  And since this is an under-$20 gift, it would be affordable for the sister or best friend that just became a parent. 

On the other end of the spectrum are those special ladies that are saying sianara to nesting and welcoming an empty nest.  Yes.  Those would be parents of parents.  The grand type.  And sending a package of personalized note cards would be just the thing to put a smile on their face.  Plus, Monogram Chick has tons (TONS!) of different designs that are subtle and classy!    

Lastly, I wanna sing the praises of these pretty preppy mugs.  Isn’t it so uber cute?  Vera Bradley just turned green with envy 🙂  And this would make a super gift for your mother-in-law or your sister who just became a new mommy (she would definitely appreciate the caffiene caddy!).  Pair this travel coffee cup with a bag of some of their favorite brew and pair it with some of that shmancy creamer for a gift that she’ll actually use.    

 Our second sponsor is The Tile Shop. 

They offer natural stone, ceramic, porcelain, glass, and metal tile in coordinating lines including hand carved accents and moldings, all at direct import pricing.  All ABP readers who print this listing and present at the time of purchase receive 15% off their entire purchase. Or you can enter the code ABP2010 at check out for online purchases.

So if you are in the market to give a Mother’s Day gift that is a little bit bigger than notecards, I am sure that your mama would love a bathroom makeover or a new backsplash.  Or you could just stop in at The Tile Shop to score some tile accessories or products.  In fact, the fine folks from the tile superstore sent me a little ‘mother’s day’ package that perfectly wooed a DIYer like me. 

Inside the goodie bag, I found a slew of promotional items – sock caps, pencils, notepads, even Tile Shop golf accessories…but some of my favorite items were some pamphlets on incredible tiled spaces.  I loved looking through for future ideas on our beast of a master bathroom.  

There was also some information on hard-to-find tiles that were oh-so-Candice-Olsen. 

Seriously…can I just move into this bathroom right now? 

And besides the promotional gear, there was also some useful items that I couldn’t wait to put to the test.  The grout cleaner and glass tile cleaner are like flowers and candy to a girl like me.  (Jeremy – flowers & candy are still totally approved as gifts..hinthint). 

The best part is that you can score some tile cleaner for yourself.  Hello happy Mother’s Day!

So that is a recap of who and what is the wind beneath our Bower Power wings.  So tell me – what are you getting for your mom this mother’s day?  Or maybe you would rather tell me what you mama’s want?  Afterall, this is gonna be my first mother’s day – so I need the lowdown on what’s what this mommy holiday!
