Freebie Friday!

I love Vista Print! It’s the company I use for my business cards and return address labels for my Etsy shop. I’ve also ordered return address labels for personal use–Christmas cards, Jonah’s birthday invitations and thank you cards, attaching to items loaned out to friends. Basically, I can’t say enough about Vista Print! Vista Print often runs special deals for FREE items. (You know how I love FREE!) I found out about a promotion they have right now, and I thought I’d let you in on the secret…

With this deal you can choose from 250 FREE business cards, 140 address labels, or a free personalized keychain! You will have to pay shipping which is usually between $3.50-7.00 depending on what you order.

Think you don’t need business cards? Here are some ideas for different ways to use them:

Mommy Calling Cards–So you can easily exchange info with the mommy of your child’s friends
Cards on gifts–So they know where to send the thank you card!
Teacher Gifts–Fill in the info of your favorite teacher and give as a gift! (New Teachers would love this!)
Graduation gifts–Fill in the info of your favorite grad and give as a gift for their job search!

Don’t forget to head on over to Vista Print and get in on the deal! I love Freebies!

My Standard Wedding Gift

Over the weekend I went to a wedding shower for Jake & Maggie. I took a gift that is becoming a standard around here….a monogrammed market tote filled to the brim with free cleaning supplies from my couponing adventures.

While it wasn’t exactly on their gift registry, I think it’s pretty useful. I’m wondering 3 things:

Is it ok to give things that aren’t on the couple’s gift registry? (Especially if they have really expensive taste?)
Is it considered tacky or smart to give things I get for free with coupons? (They don’t have to know I got it for free, right?)
If it is considered tacky, does the adorable monogrammed market tote cancel out the tackiness? (I’m really hoping you say it does.)

Feel free to share your thoughts!
