Love the idea, so great for kids away at college or someone who is living away from their home state. We took a look around the web to figure out which companies did it best! <br />
<br />
First of all we have to applaud <a href="http://homesickcandles.com/" target="_blank">Homesick Candles.</a> They really hit the mark! They have received a lot of great press and outstanding reviews for their scents that are truly on point. They even have a running $5 off campaign that has been in place for a bit to take the sting out of this slightly pricey candle. <br />

<a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/i-love-california-gift-candlepots/" target="_blank">Pottery Barn</a> launched their line of city and state scented candles along with a line of pillows, tote bags, journals and calendars all sticking to the theme of I love my home. Lovely candles, but with a more feminine feel I don't think they have the mass appeal as some of the other candles we found.<br />

We turned to Etys, the handmade marketplace to see what our artisans had to offer. We found a company called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ScriptedFragrance?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">Scripted Fragrance</a> that has a limited line of state scented candles. The candles are very pretty and I love that the class jar they come in is printed with the state silhouette that you can keep long after the candle has been burned. </div>

This year it's time to get creative and think outside the heart shaped box! Whether you have been married for 20 years, have only been dating a few months or just need a sweet gift for a child or family member, I thing we found something for everyone on your list. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am in LOVE with this French Love Poems that we found at <a href="https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/french-love-poems?category=SEARCHRESULTS&color=102" target="_blank">Anthropologie</a>. <span style="background-color: #fdfdf9; letter-spacing: 0.6px;">This lovely pocket-sized anthology is the perfect present for the one who sets your heart aflutter.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We found this do it yourself box on <a href="http://happymoneysaver.com/send-a-box-of-sunshine-to-brighten-someones-day/" target="_blank">Happy Money Saver</a> There is a free download for their cute little card to add to a box that you create yourself.

How do they build a successful shop on Etsy and turn it into their day job? It doesn't happen overnight, but it definitely can happen! I opened my first Etsy shop over seven years ago and have absolutely loved selling on Etsy. Since my first shop opened in 2010 I did quit working for someone else and now work full time for myself. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A tiny smidge about me, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #9b9b9b;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I am Tawnya Beck Zebrowski, the oldest sister in a family of five girls, that has blossomed into a family of nearly 30. I have been married for 22 years and have 3 daughters Taylor 24, Breanne 20 and Kaitlin 18. Growing up in a large family there was never a shortage of birthday parties, bridal showers, baby showers, weddings and family gatherings to plan and prepare for. Over the years I developed a true passion for the sport and I love scouring the internet, researching the current trends and looking into unique gift and favor ideas to fill the needs of my customers.</span></span></span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I promise I won't bore you, but a little bit about the biz...in 2012 I moved my favor business out of my house and we opened a studio in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. This allowed me to expand my product line and hire some pretty amazing ladies to help keep up with the demand for our products. Over the next few years I opened several Etsy shops. <a href="http://thefavorbox.etsy.com/" target="_blank">The Favor Box</a>, selling favor packaging, <a href="http://lulusugar.etsy.com/" target="_blank">LuLu Sugar</a>, offering high end bath and body products and soy candle favors, <a href="http://helloyoucandles.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Hello You Candles</a>, selling personalized gift candles for absolutely EVERY occasion, and finally <a href="http://confettigiftcompany.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Confetti Gift Company</a>, offering a clever line of gift boxes and surprise balls. I partnered with my very talented sister on this one and I must admit it is probably the most fun I have ever had. In 2014 we launched, <a href="http://thefavordesignstudio.com/" target="_blank">The Favor Design Studio, Inc.</a> where we took all of our favor products from The Favor Box and Lulu Sugar and combined them into one website. This was more for marketing purposes, we still have all of our Etsy shops and wouldn't change a thing. <a href="http://giftingwithstyle.com/" target="_blank">Gifting With Style</a> is truly my hobby. I love giving gifts and I am always trying to find the next great thing for myself and my customers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ok, now lets get down to what makes Etsy tick. This is only through my eyes and someone else might tell you something completely different, but we are on target to break a MILLION this year on Etsy alone and this is how I got here....</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ETSY TIPS FROM A FULL TIME ETSYPRENUER:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You have to have a great product! You don't have to be the only one selling this product, if you put out a great product you will get your piece of the pie. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The picture have to be great! Here is a video that I found on YouTube from <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.com/" target="_blank">A Beautiful Mess</a>. They give a lot of photography and styling advise that I completely 100% follow myself. </span></li>
</ul>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Offer lots of items! The more items you have in your shop the more traffic you are going to get, especially if the listings appeal to different people. For example in my shop Hello You Candles I have one candle for a best friend and one for someone who lost a pet. The search terms for each of these items would be completely unrelated but will both drive traffic to my shop.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Which leads me to key words!! Very important key words. Think like your customer, really actually do the exercise of going to the Etsy search bar and type in what you would type in if you were looking for what you sell. You will be surprised when you do the exercise how differently you start thinking. Once the results come up take a look and see if your item would make sense among the displayed items. Do this with several words and phrases to come up with your key words. It takes a bit of time but in the long run well worth the effort. Another key word tip is to scroll to the bottom of the page and it will have suggested links. If these apply to your products use them, you can only have 13 phrases per item so pick wisely. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Renewals! Expensive yes, but the payoff is huge. I renew 40 items in each of my shops every morning stating with the listings with the best performance. Every time you renew a listing it gives that listing a boost in the rankings. Sometimes you don't see it right away but I definitely notice a difference. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Make yourself available! If someone has a question, they want an answer five minutes ago. I have the Etsy Seller app on my phone and I am (almost) always on duty. If I don't respond they may move on to another seller with a similar product. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Always be selling! If someone does message you with a question about a product this is your chance to sell it. Offer a discount for a large order or if ordering multiple items ask if they want a custom listing to make it easier for them to checkout.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And last but not least get back to the basics! Ship on time; the customer is always right; if the items get lost in the mail or destroyed send replacements even if it's not your fault. It can be costly but those great reviews will keep the sales rolling in.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hope this helps! Please feel free to contact me with any questions, I love seeing Etsy sellers succeed.</span></div>

We have seen a new trend in special gifts and favors for the kids. This is a very sweet idea and when the kids receive a special gift it does make them feel important and that they truly are part of your special day. Another bonus to these lovely gifts is that the kids may actually be able to entertain themselves during dinner and mom and dad can actually enjoy the lovely reception you have been planning for a year or more. When buying gifts truly think of the entertainment value of the items. There are several options out there for the DIY bride or you can buy boxes that have been well thought out and assembled for you. Here are a few of our favorites:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you have ever unraveled a <a href="http://confettigiftcompany.com/collections/send-a-surprise-ball" target="_blank">surprise ball</a> you know what an amazing treat they are! At Confetti Gift Company we brought back this nostalgic gift and added our own spin. As with the original surprise balls, popular in the 1950's, as you peel back the layers of colorful crepe paper the hidden treasures are revealed one by one. In the center of our surprise balls we have added a small goody bag with a few more surprises and personal note to the recipient! Surprise balls are always a treat, but for an extra special occasion there is now an option to add a gift card. This is the perfect gift for anyone age 3 to 103 and there is absolutely NO occasion required!</span></div>

I love the way the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/VintageBakeshopEtsy?section_id=14266765" target="_blank">cupcakes in a jar</a> look and they seem so yummy and easy to eat. The jars keep the cupcakes moist and fresh for a week or more and they are so easy to transport and serve. Love this idea for a late night wedding snack! <br />

I love all the vintage inspired romantic looks out there. Also noticing lots of sassy shorter styles that I think will be really popular this year. I might have to get married again so I can shop for one of these beauties (just kidding honey). David's Bridal is one of my favorite places to browse and day dream, these are just a few of my favs.<br />

Looking for the perfect favors? Send your guests home with these honey-scented <a href="http://www.americanbridal.com/candle-wedding-favors.html.">beehive candle wedding favors</a>, perfect for a bridal shower or wedding. Each of these of these sweet “meant to bee” wedding favor candles from American Bridal is bright yellow with a realistic honeycomb texture and I love the bronze-finished bee charm that hangs from a raffia tie. <br />
