Have you heard about the indie tot? If not, it’s time check ‘em out and check us out on the shop showcase!

I’ve been admiring all the shop showcase stores for a long time now so it’s such an honor to be featured along with them.

Send as gift option now available!

Posted in news and updates on March 29th, 2010 by Cathy — Be the first to comment!

Our items make the perfect gift for babies and we want to make it even easier for you to give that special gift. How so? We’ve just added the “send as gift” option to our store!

If you choose to send as a gift, we will send the item directly to the recipient with a handmade card with a message from you enclosed. Your gift will be wrapped in tissue paper, tied with a ribbon and mailed in a bubble mailer. No pricing information will be disclosed. We will send you two photos – one of the finished item itself and one after it has been wrapped.

embe send as gift

The small tag on the ribbon reads:
“A gift for your little one from [your name].”

The card is neatly tucked inside the ribbon and includes your personalized message. Card size will vary by the length of your message.

**Ribbon, tissue paper and card colors will vary.

Each item has a story behind it – whether inspired by one of my son’s favorite stuffed animals or by Cathy’s little obsession with robots, we’ve created unique, handmade gifts that you can share with the little ones in your life! Check out our newest additions at embeshop.com!
