Wow didn't March come in like a lion? Hopefully it will go out like a lamb. It's been a little while since my last blog, I do apologize. It's been really hectic these last few weeks. We had a great turnout C.O.A.A Showcase of the arts at the Beech Centre. Thank you so much for letting The Village Card and Gift Shoppe and Jacqueline Kent of Jacqueline Kent Inner Circle join in this this fun event!

OMG, I just had to tell you I had a sneak peek of the new Chamilia 2nd quarter jewellery… Think mother's day, Mom and me and new ---------. Visit our web site and check out a video by Chamilia Jewellery to have a sneak peek of the New Garden Party Spring Collection. http://www.villagegiftshoppe.ca
I wanted to share a few unique items we now have available at the store.
I found these beautiful magnetic clips. They clip onto a purse, shoe, book. They are great for holding keys, or key so that they are easy to find. Practical yet a fashion accessory.
This product may be a little sensitive to some people but everyone does it, you just don't want people to know you go to the bathroom. Well with this product you spritz the toilet before you go and no one will ever know. We've mentioned this product a few times before, but I love it.
Poo-pourii, and Trap-A-Crap, yes I said that….Trap-A-Crap. Well they work! Great for your home and for when you are out, and you have to go…. You know you've been there.
Lampe Berger fragrances and Lamps. Winter in Russia, Citrus Leaves, Escape to Capri and Peppermint. I think my fav of these scents is Winter in Russia.
Lampe Berger has been around for 110 years. They are a leader innovator for air care. It cleans the room air by destroying unwanted odors and providing lasting fragrance. By eliminating unpleasant smelling molecules (tobacco, cooking, etc.), LAMPE BERGER cleans the interior air in your home.
Visit Lampe Berger Canada for information.
Now these are just a few of the new items, I could go on and on. Drop by to check out these new items and new gorgeous sweaters and belts. Get your St. Patrick's day cards, toilet paper, Kleenexes, Tattoos Hats.

Wishing a you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season
Well its crunch time Christmas Eve will soon be upon us. It has been super crazy here at the store at 7 King St. East in Bowmanville. I love the energy of the people that have had a chance to drop by to store. This week there have been some pretty frazzled people finishing up their holiday shopping. I love being able to help someone select a gift for that special person in their life, we gift wrap so that’s one less thing for them to do. When they leave they seem a little more relaxed….
Still not sure what to purchase for the special person in your life? Why not get them a gift certificate? That way they can choose a gift they would love.
We are open
Thursday, December 23 9am to 9 pm
Christmas Eve 8am-6pm.
Boxing Day Blowout!! Join us 8am – 3pm. I will be wearing my pajamas, maybe even my bunny slippers. Join us for our great deals. This year we are not giving away any hints about our amazing specials…
Hope to see you there, don't forget the coffee... maybe with a little ????
Sincerely,
Joan and Staff

Are you a santa collector? Do you go all out for Christmas?
One week and a few days until Santa drops down the chimney and enters into your home with goodies for the people who were nice. I am sending you this email because and only because you are nice.Are you a Christmas person.? Are you a Santa collector? Do you go all out for Christmas like me. Well you should drop in at the Village Card and Gift Store at 7 King Avenue East in Bowmanville and see the two Santa’s that Joan Kimball has on display. The one Santa stands over five feet and the other one is about three feet tall. It would look great as part of your annual Christmas decoration plan. These two Santa’s were donated to a community project by Jackie Kent a renowed artist worldwide whose works is unbelievable. I know you will want one of these.
Even if you are naughty, you definitely want to see these Santas and Joan’s new store location.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, how shall I decorate Thee?
Now that December is here many people are starting to think about getting out their Christmas decorations. One of my favourite decorations is the Christmas Tree. Every year I love to change the theme of decorating the Christmas tree. At the Village Card and Gift Shoppe we have numerous decorated trees, each one with a different scheme.
Depending on your mood you could select a wide array of Christmas Tree styles. Black Christmas Trees, White Christmas Trees, Silver it really depends on your mood. We have a gorgeous selection of Christmas trees available to purchase at the Village Card and Gift Shoppe. I’m sure you would find one to suit your style.
Christmas tree decorating anything goes, whether you want to colour coordinate with your decor, or maybe you’d like to have it showcase a hobby. It’s really up to you. Usually I pick out a few things that are an absolute must for my tree for instance the gold glitter Christmas ball, with glitter gold leaf accents, you could add 3-6 sprigs of glitter branches and it’s just gorgeous. Now add tulle for you garland, and your tree is a masterpiece. Now for the crowning glory your tree topper. Again anything goes. You can be traditional and go with a star, Santa, angel or why not even a large ribbon bow.
If you stumped for ideas drop by the Village Card and Gift Shoppe at 7 King St. E. in Bowmanville, I’m sure you will find inspiration there.
I found some great new products and they are now available in-store
Twist and Pout Lip Balm - Sugar and Spice - Dual Personality.
One tastes like sugar and the other tastes like spice. SPF 20. They make a great fashion accessory you can clip them to your purse, backpack. The make great stocking stuffers. Checkout www.twistandpout.com to see more info.
Lolita Wine Glasses are BACK! So excited we have a new selection of Lolita wine and martini glasses. Now I do have a favourite the Giant Wine Glass! It will hold over one bottle of wine, or you could use it as a centerpiece. We also have a great selection of Pilsner Glasses for the beer connoisseur in your life.

Sunday Chamilia Party, Holiday Party Gifts with the Village Card and Gift Shoppe
Hello Everyone,
It’s been a great couple of weeks and soon the Christmas season will be in full swing. Are you coming out to enjoy the Bowmanville and Newcastle Santa Claus Parades? I love them both, nothing like sitting waiting to see Santa, then after the big event having a warm hot chocolate. Don’t forget the marshmallows and or ???
With the holiday season fast approaching I know most of you are starting to think about Christmas Parties and Holiday Entertaining….. They are always so much fun! I know when I go to a Christmas party I always think, what should I bring the host or hostess? I know this is not mandatory, but it shows your appreciation. Here are some fun and unique ideas.
Santa Pin -- Now who doesn’t love Santa. These cute Santa pins would make a great gift as well as an accessory on your holiday gift packaging.
Corkcicle -- This great product keeps your wine at the right drinking temperature. If your wine is too cold it could mask the vintner’s uniquely crafted complexities. Too warm and the flavors may take a back seat to the alcohol. When the Corkcicle is placed inside the bottle it chills the wine from the inside. Use it again and again. Visit www.corkcicle.com for more information.
Hallmark Bobble Head – These adorable figures will be sure to grab the host or hostesses attention
Hallmark Recordable Books – These holiday themed recordable books are a perfect gift. Add your voice to every page, that way you will always be home for the holidays.
Hallmark Puzzles – Who doesn’t enjoy sitting down and putting together a puzzle.
Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments -- Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments offer a wide selection of holiday themes. So no matter the decor you are sure to find one that will make you feel like a kid again.
Poo-pourri – Spritz the bowl before you go and no one else will know. This great spray is available in 2 sizes. Poo~Pourri is a bathroom natural air freshener and spray deodorizer that eliminates bathroom odours. Great for your purse, or to have in your bathroom that way no one is embarrassed by having the call of nature. Visit http://poopourri.com/ for more information.
