Answer by snobunny14
ok so i am going to be honest…i would only buy the key chain and the phone charm. i am older than you(gonna be a freshman..woot woot!) but that is too much owl stuff for one person to have the sharpener is a little creepy and i am not saying this to be mean but i would just get the usual supplies and not obsess over one common theme get a couple things that people will admire but dont overload

How to Buy Gorgeous Handmade Handbags from Indonesia

Cookie-cutter fashion purses are a dime a dozen, and thousands of them are produced in factories and sold in every town. But hand-crafted purses are pleasant, rare treasures that any woman can be proud of. When a handbag is handmade, it is unique in a number of ways and reflects the talent and creativity of its maker. Many ladies in Indonesia opt to hand-stitch handbags to earn a living for their families. Their purses are fantastically embroidered with superb designs, but yet they usually possess the same or better quality as any factory-made purse.

Let’s explore what sorts of Indonesian purses are available and the way to choose the right one for you.

Look for Practicality

Before falling completely in love with a certain design, be certain the handbag will meet your everyday needs . Do you need the handbag for work or play? Do you are planning on using it every day or just for special evenings out on the town? Also, consider how many items you’ll need to carry in the handbag. Home made handbags come in a selection of sizes and shapes. They range from petite to large travel handbags. Some come with shoulder straps while others have hand straps. There are even very small make-up carriers for trips. It is dependent on where you intend to use it.

]]>


choosing a Design and Color for Your handmade purse
home made handbags come with a range of styles and designs. Embroidery is used to create unique patterns such as diamonds, curved lines, circles, stars, and floral patterns. Indonesian handbags are often creatively labeled to express the type of design and color on the handbag. The words gift, live, great, eternal, recover, morning, believe, and so forth reflect the personality behind the purse as well as the style and color.

For spring and summer, there are colours such as red, cream, light blue, or olive. For fall and winter, colors such as black, dark brown, dark blue, and silver are excellent selections.
another choice to consider when purchasing an Indonesian handmade handbag is to buy charity bags ( or charity purses ). Charity bags are made by those in Indonesia who require the money for daily food and supplies. Some firms in the U. S. offer to buy the purses and resell them to US citizens or through the Net. One such company is Laga purses ( online ), which helps women who were survivors of the sad tsunami of 2006 in Sumatra, Indonesia. The girls workers of Indonesia can learn abilities for a life-time while providing a valuable service to purse lovers.
Firms should provide detailed information about how and where the handbags are obtained, and where the company is located.

A hand-crafted handbag from Indonesia can also be a noteworthy surprise as a gift for mum’s Day, xmas, birthdays, or other occasions. The purses are reliable and reasonable, and the remarkable artfulness of Indonesian ladies makes them highly fascinating in the fashion world.

Can Your Store Benefit From Selling Handmade Jewelry?

Can Your Store Benefit From Selling Handmade Jewelry?

If you have a retail store or boutique these days you have to stand out from the crowd. With so many products available, providing handmade jewelry and unique gift ideas for your customers makes your store stand out and people take notice. Variety is the key to great sales. Provide your customers a wide range of styles, shapes, colors and prices. Offer a choice of materials; stones, beads, shells, resins and metals. You will find that casual sales become repeat customers if you select a great variety of unique handcrafted jewelry and gifts that will suit everyones personal style! Aim to give your customers an unique shopping experience, unusual high quality products and excellent personal service.

Where do you find suppliers for wholesale handmade jewelry and gifts? You have lots of choices but obviously the easiest and fastest way would be online. Just Google or Yahoo! search “wholesale handmade jewelry” to find suppliers for your store, can’t get much easier than that! You can also search “handmade jewelry directories”, most web directories even have a separate section for unique handmade jewelry. You can search anywhere, anytime; whenever it is convenient for you. Today you can find everything you need online without all the expenses of attending the traditional Wholesale Jewelry and Gift Shows. Everyone has a contact us page so you can ask any questions you may have if its not already in the FAQ. Online companies try to give you as much information about their products as they can. This is hard to absorb in the hustle and bustle of shows but comes naturally when you are relaxed and interested in the product. You will know the special features and techniques used to make the handmade jewelry and gifts. This information will help you to sell the products better.

If you are more a hands-on type, wholesale jewelry and gift shows are the next best option. At these shows you will see the actual products but attending these shows can be quite costly, tiring and they are only held at certain times of the year. The wide range of products available might overwhelm first time buyers but you’ll quickly learn how to narrow your search to find the items you want to see. You may just find that you can sell the handcrafted products better when you have made a connection with a real person. Pay attention to how they sell their products to you and you can carry that over to when you are selling their products to your own customers. The better the personal connection with a product, the better your sales will be!

Handcrafted artisan jewelry will attract new customers to your store. Many jewelry artists have a loyal following who will seek you out in order to buy their favorite artists’ jewelry. Look to provide a range of products and prices. People generally look for that extra special piece once in a while; for anniversaries or weddings. Have some outstanding pieces for them and to draw people into your store. More reasonably priced jewelry will sell more often to more people. Pay special attention to what we call the “added value” jewelry – this is handmade jewelry that looks more expensive than it is. This is the impulse buy type of jewelry; who can say no to unique handcrafted jewelry that is affordable and you can wear it every day?

Your goal is to make your customers come back time after time to check out your great selection of handmade jewelry. Whatever the occasion handcrafted jewelry will continue to keep them coming back for more!
