VALENTINE'S DAY IDEAS

i'm not really into giving or receiving super expensive gifts. for me, the best gift is when that person really thought about it and, of course, the packaging. my husband found that i'm a sucker for gift packaging so whenever he gives me a present he makes sure the packaging is to my liking. anyways, valentine's is coming up soon and i've been thinking and searching for unique ideas to give to my hubby. he likes anything tech and those are expensive - so that's crossed out of my list. i found these 2 unique andwell thought out ideas online!

1. "oh happy day" blogger tied a big red balloon to a box and set it on the side walk near her husband's work. she tied the balloon so that her husband can see it outside his office! soo sweet, right? see the picture in her blog under VALENTINE'S DAY IDEA 3: SURPRISES

2. i think i'm going to do this one for my hubby and send it to his work place: send a WORLD'S SMALLEST VALENTINE via THE WORLD'S SMALLEST POSTAL SERVICE! you can order them here for $8. the package comes with a magnifying glass and sealed with a wax. isn't it awesome?

if you have any other ideas, don't hesitate to leave comments!

enjoy!

LOVING THIS SITE!

if you like crafts and dollar store then this is the site for you!!! go check out dollar store crafts for party inspirations and tons of crafts ideas.

the above picture is one of fave finds on the site. she purchased the fleece scarves from the dollar store and hand painted the images to make it more modern and stylish! check out the rest of the article here. i like going to the dollar store to buy wrapping paper, ribbons, office supplies and stationery! moreover, for two years in a row i bought christmas tree decorations from there! my husband was amazed that i only spent $20 on the tree trimmings! i'll have to look for the pictures and post them on here!

if you've been to a dollar store before: what awesome finds did you score?

NOVEMBER GIVEAWAY

My birthday had just past & I thought it'd be nice to give away something to you as a gift from me.

What to do:
All you have to do is e-mail your name, city & state to brokeandstylish.giveaway@yahoo.com with the subject as NOVEMBER GIVEAWAY. I will then randomly select a name & announce the winner on November 23th.

That's it! No catch. You pay nothing. It's absolutely FREE. A gift from me to you.

COMING SOON: GIFT

I am currently putting together a gift to give away on B&S ! I've been busy so that's why I haven't updated nor finished putting the gift together.

What is the gift ? It is a nail kit. It consist of nail clippers, disposable toe separators, professional nail buffer, pumis stone, nail filer, cuticle pusher & what ever else I decide to throw in there. This will be the first of few kits that I will be selling at my online shop & you (the winner), will be the first to recieve it !

Originally, May & I wanted to sell some items on here & we will get to that soon! We want to build readers to see if this blog is worth the effort & time we take to put into this.
