Hello, ladies!  Big things are happening around here & we want to tell you all about it…

A few months ago, we were balancing girlfriendgalas.com with our busy lives & we were tired, overwhelmed & feeling our 40’s. We reached out to a close friend who was posting on Facebook about how great she felt. We saw the changes in her & we wanted to feel great too!

Over the next few weeks and months, both our lives transformed. We felt amazing. We started sleeping better. We were happier. Our cravings went away. No coffee? What?!? We started spending more time with our friends and family & even started having parties again.  Whoa! We became better sisters & partners and our business flourished with our new motivation. Life was, once again, full of possibility.

And now, because that’s what girlfriends do, we want to share with you. Head on over to TheCampbellGirls.com to see what has been the best decision we’ve ever made. Set yourself up with a free account (no obligation, credit card or SPAM) & check it out.

Don’t worry. GirlfriendGalas.com isn’t going anywhere. In fact, it’s only getting better because we have so much more energy & love to give our little party boutique. We’ve got a new “Like a Boss” gift collection for inspiration because that’s how we’re living life these days.  So much has changed & we are LOVING LIFE again!

You can still reach us  { Janna and Joli, Sisters, Besties, Owners } at 866-561-3450 & sales@girlfriendgalas.com any time. We love to chat and we look forward to sharing this amazing experience with you.

We know you’re looking for amazing, unique holiday gifts for her, your besties, your tribe, your girl gang, whatever you call your little sisterhood.  We know because we are too.  We pick our products with that in mind. We love to pull together gorgeous gifts that are huge hits with little fuss.  You care, we know you do, and your time is at a premium too, right?  So this is our way of making it easier.  Find that perfect little something for her and then search for the same name. We do our best to put the common words in the title so that you can find matchy matchy things with ease.  We may not always have the perfect fit, but often, we do.  If the name yields little, try the brand name, like Kate or Lilly, ban.do or Rosanna. You can also try shopping our collections where we group lots of things together. Here’s an example.  Love the Big Flirt pattern from Lilly?  Search for that and all the products will pop up.  Pick the ones you want and then cruise on over to the Gifts category that has Bags and Tags.  Pick a coordinated gift bag and tell us in the order notes if you want us to pull it together for you.  True, it’s hard to guess the perfect dimensions online.  But we promise you this, if it fits, we’ll put it all together with all the GG sass we can muster. And if it doesn’t, we’ll still use every tool we’ve got on hand to make it a gorgeous gift. We’ll box it up with our signature “Hello, Gorgeous!” sticker and tissue paper.  It will always arrive fabulously and with flair.  Add a note if you’d like at checkout.  It prints at the top of the packing slip so she’s sure to get it.  No pricing, just a sweet note from you, your fabulous finds for her and a bit of confetti on top.  It’s that easy. It’s that beautiful, and hey, even our name says you shopped where it’s all about girlfriends. Because she means so much to you and you mean so much to us. It delights us to know we’ve brought a smile to the face of one of our gorgeous girlfriends. Seriously, we’re in the business of forging the bonds of sisterhood (we’re actually sisters, after all).  And you’re our girl gang.  You’re our tribe.  We are so grateful for that!!

We’ve put together some ideas here that we love, whether she’s traveling the globe or hosting parties at home.  Adorable right by themselves, each one also coordinates with an entire line of gifts and party supplies to create a one of a kind, over the top, she’ll love you forever kind of gift.  And, we’ve added some coordinating products below that really take it over the top.  This is what we do for ourselves and our girlfriends, so we are so excited to share!!  So make your holiday shopping for her easy-peasy this year.

Pictured above (clockwise) ban.do Everything Tote Bag in Gold; Kate Spade New York Travel Shoe Bag, Jewelry Bag and Luggage Tag; Rosanna Pedestal Cake Stand 9″ Round in Blue; Lilly Pulitzer Insulated Cooler in Big Flirt

If ban.do is her style, add a coordinating passport case and acrylic tumbler to the gorgeous Everything Tote Bag to create the perfect combination gift.  There’s a luggage tag to match the passport holder and a duffle bag, shopping tote, trinket tray and a few more finds in the ticket stripe pattern of the “Kittens Get Thirsty Too” Tumbler.  What we adore about this idea is that you can use the tote or duffle as the gift bag with all the other goodies inside.  Tie a bow and attach the luggage tag in lieu of a gift tag for an unexpected twist.

If she’s serious about entertaining, consider the Rosanna Cake Stands and accessories that come in a variety of colors and styles that are perfect for the dessert buffet.  These cake stands come gift boxed by the manufacturer in high quality, decorated boxes that make wrapping (shipping) and storing a breeze.  There’s the Light Blue Pedestal Cake Stand, the White Square Pedestal Cake Stand and the Pink Pedestal Cake Stand all of which are 9″ in serving space. Of course they won’t be boxed up often because she’ll be finding excuses to bake and decorate and celebrate just to display them as often as possible.  Some of the other amazing finds from Rosanna are the Porcelain Gift Tags and Cupcake Stands that are perfect for birthdays and celebrations all year long.

If Kate’s where it’s at, the canvas travel bags for her shoes, The Perfect Pair, and her jewelry, Bits and Baubles, mix and match perfectly with the Le Pavilion Luggage Tag, Travel Tumbler and Travel Umbrella.  Polka dots,  Paris, Palma, Prague…It all just goes together, don’tcha think?  There’s a gorgeous Laundry Bag that we think works great as a carry on and travel accessory.  There are also Thermal Mugs, ID Holders, a Shopping Tote, Water Bottle, well, you get the idea.  This line that’s all featured in our Kate Spade Collection makes this gift something special and sophisticated.

Does she love, love, love Lilly as much as we do?  For the girl who is all about the summer all year round, the Big Flirt pattern from Lilly Pulitzer will take her straight to the tropics.  It’s a vibrant hibiscus print with hot pink accents to set the mood in island style. The Insulated Cooler matches perfectly with a Sunglass Strap and Acrylic Party Cups, all in the same floral pattern and the accessories can easily be tucked inside the cooler for the gift-giving part.   Of course, there’s more where that came from with Acrylic Tumblers and Wine Glasses, Beverage Buckets, Koozies and a few other party, travel and every day goodies for the Lilly lover.  This is a warm weather girl’s dream and we are quite sure those in cooler climates will adore it just as much. Your gift will whisk her away to where she dreams of being.

We’ve added links wherever we could to make shopping that much easier.  We have so many things, almost 2000 products, so if it isn’t flowing perfectly, we are here to help. We ultimately want to SAVE you time, not add more to your to do list, so give us a shout by phone (866-561-3450) or email (sales@girlfriendgalas.com) if we can help you in creating the perfect gift.  It really is just us, Janna and Joli on the other end of the line, so while we would love to be available to you 24/7, if we don’t catch us, we’ll get back to you as quickly as we possibly can.  Promise.  Because that’s what girlfriends are for!!!  Happy shopping, girls!

P.S. Want another way to shop?  Hop on over to our Pinterest boards to see what we think is hot, hot, hot!  We’ve got a 2015 Holiday Shopping board with tons of great ideas!

The post Fabulous Holiday Gifts for Her appeared first on The Gossip @ Girlfriend Galas.

As well as you know her and love her, sometimes it’s hard to find the perfect gift. Especially one that’s both practical and adorable.  We grabbed a few of our favorites and pulled them together in a classic black and white theme for the college student…a.k.a. dorm room diva, a.k.a. campus cutie…  This fun assortment can be combined for a lovely gift basket or given individually.  Or, let them inspire you to create your own unique gift for the girl on the go.  We always package orders in super cute fashion, so you can send one (or all) of these gifts directly to her door, too!

From top left clockwise:

#1  The Packin’ Heat Cosmetic Bag in the Good Will Bunting pattern by Scout is the perfect size for her hair styling tools and can really take the heat.  It’s a great all around toiletries kit and makeup bag with a zippered top and enough depth to stuff it full of fun at 8.5″ x 3.5″ x 9.5″. The lightweight, durable coated 100% cotton twill is easy to clean and the hot pink zipper makes it even
cooler.

#2  She’ll look great while saving her blowout, even in a community shower.  The Parisian Striped Satin Bouffant Shower Cap is a must have addition to her beauty routine, bringing glamour to the bathroom. Vintage inspired, handmade and super high-quality with a waterproof lining and satin outer, the cap has comfortable elastic sewn into the fabric for a close fit to protect the do. The satin bow embellishment on the front really accents the Parisian style this shower cap offers.

#3  For the girl on the go, this adorable “Every Day I’m Hustlin'” Ceramic Travel Mug is so stinkin’ cute. Made of substantial white ceramic with hand drawn, original art and a matching lid that fits snugly, she’s going to LOVE this mug for the car, campus or wherever she’s hustlin’ to.  Mix and match with the entire line of mugs, car coasters, car magnets and koozies.

#4  For the lover of Kate, the Who Me? ID Badge Holder by Kate Spade New York is both adorable and functional in a classic polka dot pattern. Made with silicone for pliable and soft comfort, you may forget you’re wearing it, yet it keeps those credentials close at hand. The back reads “Why, Hello There” in a whimsical font. Measuring 4 7/8″ x 2 5/8″ to fit just about any ID card. Perfect for students, this fun pattern features a black background and white polka dots that make quite a statement. Featuring a clear vinyl window to display the important stuff.

#5  The Pleasure Chest Cooler Tote Bag by Scout is seriously striped in the Battle of the Bands pattern. This insulated cooler tote makes a great daily lunch tote and even holds the larger, liter sized water bottles and sport bottles. With a black and white striped design it’s made with PVC coated polyester for water resistance and easy clean-up. It measures 9in.(W) x 12.5in.(H) x 9in.(D). The totally tote-a-ble chest for chilled fun. The straps are nylon in a coordinating color. Zipper closure and a tidy zippered pocket on the front for your wallet, keys or a cell phone.

These are just a few of the hundreds of fabulous gift ideas we have available at girlfriendgalas.com this holiday season for the gorgeous girls in your life. With Free Shipping on orders over $100 through the end of the year and $6.95 Flat Rate Shipping any old time, you can stock up for the entire year worth of celebrations at once.  It’s just an idea!

It’s Fall and you can practically smell the Pumpkin Spice Lattes in the air. To help you celebrate the season, here’s a COUPON for you! Take a peek at our gorgeous NEW Stemless & Stainless Drinkware, Party Kits & Cocktail Accessories & get your SHOP ON! We’re pretty sure that you’re going to find some new Fall Favorites!

These beautifully festive cocktail party napkins are stamped with shiny gold foil and add sparkle to any occasion. Even though we’re thinking fall leaves, football games and cooler weather, we’ve just received some adorable beach themed accessories and we simply couldn’t wait until it warms up again to share them with you. We know lots of gals that migrate south for the winter and spend holidays by the sea. A set of Beach Please cocktail napkins or a set of Where’s my Cabana Boy stemless wine glasses might be the perfect hostess or holiday gift.

Speaking of stemless wine glasses, aren’t these just the cutest? Going stemless is all the rage and we think that these gold and confetti sprinkled selections are just the thing for styling a coordinated party palette! Sometimes you (our Gorgeous Girlfriends) surprise us with such clever and creative combinations. We recently shipped 1 Happy Birthday (Far Left) and 5 YAYS!s (3rd from the Left) as a set for toasting the birthday girl. Love that idea!

We have also added some fun new Party Kits to make your shopping experience quick and easy. For those special milestone birthdays, you might choose a 30, 40 or 50 Licious Birthday Party Kit which includes everything that you see here. A printed shot glass, flask, koozie, party beads, a sparkling rhinestone party comb and a satiny fabric tie-top gift bag all coordinate into a stylish set that will make her celebration extra special. We will happily package your gift in our signature hot pink tissue, seal it with a “Hello Gorgeous!” sticker and sprinkle it with festive confetti. You can also add a personalized gift note and we will ship it right to her door!

We also have the latest arrivals from Kate Spade New York for your Fall sipping pleasure. We really appreciate the debut of this thermal coffee-themed travel mug. It’s a bit more rugged so it’s perfect for the guy on the go! YAY! Finally we have a gift idea for the brand-conscious brother, father or boyfriend.  KSNY has also put a golden twist on her classic polka dots and striped drinkware styles. It’s almost impossible to choose between the two – we think it’s best to just get both! The polka dotted tumbler comes with a lid and a straw for cold beverages and the striped thermal mug is perfect for coffee or tea.

The hot pink Eat Cake for Breakfast tumbler brings a pop of color to your morning. It’s great for a smoothie, iced tea or to make your 8 glasses of water a day a bit more interesting.

And to make your purchase a bit more interesting, we’ve got a coupon for you. Get your shop on this month & save at GirlfriendGalas.com.

Are you looking for memorable & unique Graduation Gift Ideas? Graduation is a symbol of the past & a celebration of the future. Show your favorite grad just how proud you are with a beautiful piece of wooden or canvas art. Just like a diploma, it’s something she will cherish forever. Here are some of our very favorite pieces.

We absolutely fell in love these bold black & white prints accented with shiny gold foil lettering. Classic photos make these timeless and stunning works of art. Printed on thick canvas and stretched over sturdy wooden frames, they range in size from 8 x 10 to 11 x 14 to 16 x 20. There is something to fit any space from a dorm room to her first apartment. They’re elegant without being stuffy and have such sassy messages!

These colorful art prints are sure to bring a smile to her face with their cheerful quotes and extra sparkle!

Not only do these make great graduation gift ideas, they make great party decor. Hang a single print or a grouping of designs behind your buffet for a sophisticated party statement. Think bridal or wedding shower, Parisian, black & white or “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” theme or elegant birthday party too. Save 15% off all hanging decor & wall art through May 31st.
