Anne Taintor – Holiday Gift Guide

Think this is a good post? Share it:
Facebook Twitter Stumbleupon

On the forth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…

I love retro and every time I walk in to a store, if there is an Anne Taintor display, I am always drawn to it. Time usually flies quickly as I lose myself while reading all of the fun, witty captions.

I first shared my love of Anne Taintor with you in a post last year and I am so excited to share these designs with you again.

They carry everything from stationary to shot glasses and although my favorite item is no longer available (a passport cover that said “We all have our baggage.”), I have my eye on a lot of their magnets and lip balms.

Their holiday cards are a great item to have and send to loved ones over the holidays. The package I received said “all she wanted for Christmas was a nap”. I can’t wait to send these out to all of the hard working ladies I know. Send your holiday greetings out in retro style this year with Christmas cards from Anne Taintor.

Anne Taintor has generously offered one lucky This Bird’s Day reader packs of Christmas cards as a giveaway (ARV $50).

TO ENTER (MANDATORY ENTRY): Go to Anne Taintor to look at all of their captions, then come back here and leave a comment at the end of this post telling me what is your favorite Anne Taintor phrase. *You must do this for any additional entries to count.

After you have completed the first entry, you can enter an additional comment one time only for each of the following:

This contest is open to both Canadian and US residents and runs until 10pm MST on Friday, November 19 2010, 2010.

*I received holiday cards for free to complete my review. The opinions expressed in this post are mine only and are in no way influenced by any outside factors.

    I LOVE Anne Taintor… I have these Christmas Cards from a few years ago that I keep in my box (refusing to give them away), because they’re hilarious… I had a great time browsing the site and chuckling at the cards. My Holiday favourite is: “Fortunately, she had remembered to stock up on the Prozac before going home for the holidays” also loved “She was one plum pudding from a yuletide meltdown” …
