Ohhh I have a good one for you ! A great site and a GIVEAWAY TOO!
With Father's day drawing near I'm always scrambling last minute to come up with a brilliant " vision" of a gift for my husband. Usually I do a good job but I'm always , last minute Larry. This year I'm ON TOP OF THINGS! I FOUND a GREAT online site, called Lil' LJ™ Boutique! Turns out it's LOCAL !! They make THE MOST ADORABLE custom message apparel for little ones! I have GREAT things to show you but first I want to tell you the history behind the business. It's EXTREMELY touching. I KNOW you'll love this site like I do!
"Lil' LJ was inspired by my own family's personal struggle with infertility. Long before our lil’ ones came our way, my husband nicknamed our future lil’ one Little Loree Junior (Lil' LJ). We want the world to know that these lil’ ones were definitely "Worth the Wait" and are "Answered Prayers". As a designer, I can't help but want to get these messages across with the style that our precious lil' ones deserve!..."
"My goal is to spread awareness while creating positive messages in a cute and trendy way. I truly enjoy creating each and every design and find inspiration all around me - the possibilities are endless… so please keep checking the site for my latest creations!"
Isn't that a wonderful idea? I know SO many friends who have struggled with infertility issues and these creations, would be such a wonderfully thoughtful gift for their little peanuts to be! Lil' LJ™ kindly sent me a sample to check out and I was tickled pink from the minute I opened my package. First. The item I selected, is packaged in an adorable square box, adorned with pink and blue logo stickers. My little shirt and it's message were sweetly displayed on one side of the square. What GREAT packaging! It's READY to give!
These are some of my UBER favorites on the site. I know so many mommies who have NICU graduates! They'd eat these up! Seriously, " Who You Callin' Tiny?" That is SO VERY CLEVER!
I chose " Daddy's Little Groupie " shirt for my Mady.
Personalization was free and I opted to have it say her Name and birthdate. It's adorable, made of high quality soft fabric , no itchy tags ,the image is perfectly placed and most important to me, it's made in America. The brown and lime green colors used are in keeping with today's modern color palette and look smashing together. The rocker cool guitar makes me feel like a cool mommy. Really , isn't that what it's all about?
Here are some samples of just a FEW of the images she does!
I know my husband will love it and I can't wait to put it on her chubby little body this father's day! Thank you Lil' LJ™ !
