Genuinely, “Since 2008″

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

It’s our second!

Second year of Whims and Likes which now  we could officially say “since 2008″ as what most businesses would proudly shout with new bkgrnd copy their company slogan, making it seriously official since longevity is a proof that it categorically have invaded the market.  It reminds me of the movie “Sunshine Cleaning” where the father of Rose ( Amy Adams) deceitfully declared that their cleaning business has been operating since 1963.  So Rose told her dad, played by a very good actor Alan Arkin that it’s a lie! but her dad’s only respond was “it’s only a business lie not a life lie”.  Pretty clever response? … not for me!.  I am driven by principle and business  is the very representation of the owner per se.  So a business lie is not cool nor fly.   I have personally encountered businesses who claim that they’ve been in the business since blah blah blah  but the truth is it’s only been existing a couple of months.  Some are owned by religious ones who can bluntly execute a business lie, ironic isn’t?

Whims and Likes officially started live in the market last January 28, 2008.   Sincerely a product of rigid market research and literally hard work.  We made sure that we will provide and supply once it’s live and operational.  Our primary concern is the satisfaction of our buyers so during the process of creating the company, we critically brainstorm  as an efficient and competent seller and at the same time thinking as what the satisfied buyer would be.  We focus on the theme during the organization with idea of being “The Choice” out there.

The genuine source of pride  about our company is that,  it’s a product of our own skills and interest although as a business, profit is a goal just as ALL other businesses are  but we made sure that we will utilize our skills and expertise.  From the creation of the website, the  operations, search engine optimization and marketing are all handle by us, no external mind were involved.

We will continue to introduce new products, improve and maintain a quality service that we have provided.   In the span of two years and two months in the market, there was only one complain and that was a couple of broken pieces in one package sent to the east coast and unfortunately ones the package is  handed over with the courier, the way a package is being handled is no longer our control.  That one complaint made us aware to improve more the system of wrapping in each favors.  To this date no other complains followed.  Lovely!

To all who availed our favors, we appreciate your support and you sure are a wise buyer because you opted to have “The Choice for Favors”

Baby-Angel-with-Cross-Favors

this week’s most saleable favors is the Baby Angel with Cross… a lovely giveaways in  which we offer blue and pink colors relevant for the gender of your tiny celebrant.  it’s been  a week of packing for baptism events!,  it’s a figurine baby angel with an intricate cross at the side accompanied with sheep underneath is a chunk of cloud.  indeed the unblemished parallelism to every baby celebrant.  don’t forget the wreath… it simply polished the irresistible visage of this favor. 

the material is totally durable so  surely this piece will last a lifetime.  baptism is one of the important events in  a christian life.  it’s the official occurrence for one to take  part the duty that every christian beholds.  it’s a parent’s obligation if they opt to have their child to be a part of their religious practice.  family and friends share the auspicious day with the baby’s parent and godparents are mandatory in this rite.  a feast may it big or small is a way to celebrate it after the rite is consummated. 

a happy celebration,  a happy rite indeed… the child may not be able to feel nor understand it but this is a vital part in child’s   foundation on the aspect of religious awareness from then onwards to adulthood.  it’s but right to be thankful… for having the acceptance of the rite, for the friends and family sharing the important event and above all is the gift of having a child. 

show gratitude through a memento  by a favors of your choice.

 tag seven

the personalized tag #17 is the most chosen tags when favors for child’s occasion are ordered.  even i would choose this.  what i love about this is its organic look, tasteful design that is symbolic of chaste, whimsy, young and blatantly cute.  the tag is gender safe so either a boy or girl celebrant can avail these together with the chosen favors. 

the font is strikingly fancy making it egregiously playful as a child.  who wouldn’t love a bear!… i remember my plush collections when i was a kid, one of them is the  big &  huggable koala bear gifted by my uncle Gavino.  the gift box is best representation of a special event or occasion that anyone who’ll receive it  will definitely can pose a smile even not knowingly.  gifts makes one feel special, loved and adored… who wouldn’t want to receive one?!

i just love celebration!… make us to look forward on that day,  make us share the day with our loved ones, makes us value appreciation, make us wise in decision making, at times it paves way to reconciliation, can be a reason for reunions and it’s a best time to act on the essence of giving.

Precious-Moments-Trinket-Favor

Whims and Likes is running on its 2nd year on January 2010.  indeed we’re happy that we were able to reach our market with an outstanding feedback.  my most enjoyable part in the process of each order is the packaging itself, i must admit that every favors ordered, i always fall in love!  with those cute and dainty figurines, colorful and pleasing candle giveaways… if i were to receive it, i will definitely like!

almost all the products were patronized but the most ordered favor is the Precious Moments figurine.  somehow, i understood why… the trinket just speaks all the qualities of every darling moppet.  innocent, cute, personable, angelic and irresistible.  this is a 1978  Precious Moments trinket figurine collection that lulled last 1981 and was reintroduced on 1998.

i could say that the figurine is an  epitome of perfected colors of faintest yellow, lightest purple, minty green, yummy pink and a well finished designed just sealed the deal.  it’s all about a little lad who generously gives free puppies, that classically personifies the message that’s scripted inside the trinket box which says ” God Loveth a Cheerful Giver”.

ain’t it true?… giving is the only saintly doing that us human can possibly do.

an afternoon Tea Party

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

there’s something about Tea Theme Party that is very appealing to me.  the kind of get together that encompasses the semblance of calmness, teaparty comfort, light-mood and tradition.  tea party as reminiscent of Victorian era  can set the mood of women to put-on some  unassuming gesture of being a lady.

i grew up surrounded with girl stuffs being the only lass of five brood.  my mother took pleasure in pampering me with dolls, stuffed toys, cookware toys, sanrio knickknacks and dresses… this is how i started my relationship with girly things! … and i still do!… no wonder i find it comforting to watch the movies that inspired by Jane Austen’s novel.   it depicts women in a feminine yet highly principled way, stimulating discussion either in group or between lady friends were always accompanied with a cup of freshly brewed tea and tiny pastries… oh! lovely.

what  draws me to Tea Party? … well… the hat, the dress, the china wares and of course the fine sandwiches and pastries often serve with tea.  i wouldn’t mind to have a ravishing  petite sandwiches made of pumpernickel or wheat bread, a sumptuous slice of pound cake or strawberry shortcake, an inviting scones and tarts or  a delectable blueberry and banana walnut muffin…  the inviting presentation of these bite-size sandwiches and pastries in a stack-up trays and colorful china teaware that is set in the garden, patio or simply in the comfort of your living room… that is what i call a simple yet grand comfort.

tea and the tiny bits of delicacies are the best companion of conversation, the tradition that passed vastly from Chinese as early as 2737 BC to  Japanese then Europe in 1652 then in America in 1690… presently, Tea Party is widely used as a simple way of entertaining guests at home,  hotels and some restaurants.

i recommend for you to experience the Tea Room of Huntington Botanical Garden located in San Marino, California.  it’s a very awesome place and the room is in the amidst of the luscious garden.

i hope one day i could host a tea party for my dear friends or i hope to receive an invite for this theme… i will gladly attend and enjoy my cup of tea!
