Tips To Make Your St. Pat’s Parade The Best One Yet!
02 months ago
We want to make sure that you have the most fun as possible when you head to your local St. Patrick’s Day Parade so we have compiled a list of items for you to bring to ensure that you have a blast shaking your shamrocks this March 17th!
First on the list – food of course!
These Shamrock Pretzel Bites are the perfect treat for you to bring with you to the parade – they’re festive, fun, affordable, portable and easy to make (click the link for the full recipe)!
All you have to do is place an unwrapped Hershey Kiss on top of each of the pretzels, bake them for 7 minutes at 200 degrees and when they’re finished, pull them out and place 3 green M&M candies on top of the melted chocolate right away. Once it cools, create the shamrocks’ stems by adding a line of green frosting to each of the pretzels and there you have it – the perfect St. Patrick’s Day Parade Snack!
Both adults and kids will love popping these while they watch the bagpipers and Irish dancers go by.
You’ll need something to wash down the Shamrock Pretzel Bites so be sure to bring a cooler of water, pop, beer and/or whatever drinks you’d like. Just make sure to stay in tune with the St. Patrick’s Day theme by wrapping them in the Irish Flag or the Irish Pride Personalized Can & Bottle Wraps. The wraps feature Velcro tabs for easy closing and removal plus rubber lining for a secure and snug fit. You’ll be able to keep your drinks cold, your hands warm and since you can personalize them with any name, hopefully you’ll be able to keep other people’s hands off your drink! Both wrap designs are usually $7.95 each, however if you act fast and take advantage of the St. Patrick’s Day Gifts Sale we have going on now through Sunday, you can personalize them for only $5.55. You can create one for the kids to use for their pop and create one for the adults to wrap around their Guinness for this year’s parade and for many more to come.
If you or some of the other adults prefer to enjoy Irish whisky or stronger spirits on St. Patrick’s Day, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered! The Irish Cheer© Personalized Pocket Flask will carry up to 8 fluid ounces of your favorite beverage so you stay warm at the parade and so you can toast your Irish heritage in style! The stainless steel flask is delicately hand etched with any name above the traditional shamrock design on the front for a distinguished Irish look. It even comes with a funnel so you don’t waste a drop! It usually retails for $29.95 but it’s on sale now through Sunday for just $20.95! This is another St. Patrick’s Day accessory that you’ll be able to enjoy year after year. The flask and the can wraps also make a great gift idea for the host or hostess of the after party you go to after the parade.
Depending on what part of the country you’re from, it may be a little chilly on March 17th so you’ll want to make sure you customize your own Irish Pride Personalized Sweatshirt Blanket to keep you and your family warm as you wait for the parade to start. The super soft and comfortable, heathered grey jersey fleece features a simple but bold Irish design that can be personalized with any family or team name. Head over to the parade location early and use the blanket as a space saver to secure your favorite location to watch from – since the blanket displays your name proudly everyone will know which area is “your spot.” This new gift is usually listed at $36.95 but if you order before Sunday, March. 10th you can personalize it for just $25.85!
If you check out PMall’s St. Patrick’s Day Gifts Store, you’re sure to find even more awesome parade party accessories. We recommend personalizing a t-shirt or some kind of clothing, like the popular Irish Pride Personalized Apparel, for everyone in your group (even babies!) so everyone in the parade will be excited to walk by your fun section. Don’t let your dog feel left out – they can show off their Irish pride too with the Lucky Dog© Personalized Dog Bandana!
With all of these awesome parade accessories your group is sure to stand out from the crowd and have the time of their lives. You’ll be having so much fun you’ll want to make sure you remember this fun holiday forever, which you can do with the Let the Shenanigans Begin Personalized Picture Frame. You can personalize this frame (or one of the other Irish frames in The Irish Home Gifts Department), with the name of the parade, the year, your family names or anything else you’d like to include in the 3-line message so you can look back and remember all the fun you had with your family and friends.
Make sure to stay safe while you’re having all that fun this St. Patrick’s Day – and don’t forget to take advantage of our St. Patrick’s Day Gifts Sale before it ends Sunday.
Cheers!
St. Patrick’s Day Celebration Tips Your Kids Will Love!
02 months ago
It’s almost time to shake your shamrocks!
St. Patrick’s Day is coming up and whether you’re Irish or not, you and your kids will love our ideas for how to celebrate this fun holiday!
Since St. Patrick’s Day is on a Sunday this year, we thought it would be fun to spend the day together making festive treats for your kids to bring in to school the next day.
We think these Leprechaun Hat S’mores that we saw on Pinterest are the perfect dessert to help you and your family celebrate the holiday (click the link to be directed to the Hostess With The Mostess Blog for the recipe).
We love how they’re whimsical and bite-sized – perfect for the kiddies. And since they’re so easy to make, you can turn it into a family project that even the little ones can help with.
There’s nothing like spending quality time together with your family on a holiday … especially when the outcome includes delicious desserts!
Once the holiday arrives that Monday, make sure that your children are wearing the Shamrock Initial For Her or For Him Personalized Clothes when you send them to school with their treats.
They’ll have the biggest smiles on their faces when they see that you customized the fun shamrock design on a t-shirt, sweatshirt or baby bib with their name and they’ll have a blast showing off their St. Patrick’s Day gear to all their friends!
Have them wear their new gear to the St. Patrick’s Day parade for a great photo opportunity, as well! While this design is our most popular, you can also check out the Lil’ Shamrock Gifts Department in our St. Patrick’s Day Gifts Store to see all of the adorable design options that we offer (we even have apparel for your dog!).
The leprechaun love doesn’t stop there – our Leprechaun Personalized Doormat is sure to also add to the fun this St. Patrick’s Day thanks to the warm welcome it offers. This cartoon-like design can be personalized with any 2 lines, however our favorite suggestion is to use your family name with “Top Of The Morning!” personalized right on top! No matter which personalization you decide on you’re sure to spread cheer to all your family and friends – they’ll love it so much they may even do a little jig!
For those of you who are Irish (or even if you’re not Irish) and want to proudly display your heritage on St. Patrick’s Day and throughout the entire year, you may be interested in our Irish Home Gifts Department. Browse through all of our slate plaques, picture frames, garden flags, barware, afghans, stationary gifts and more that feature an array of different Irish design themes. We have plenty of options so you’re sure to find a design that fits in well with your existing home-decorating style!
We hope you have fun preparing your home and children for fun this St. Patrick’s Day! If you have any other St. Patrick’s Day dessert recipes that you’d like to share, feel free to comment below or email us at social@pmall.com.
PMall Fan Shares Her New Christmas Tradition
15 months ago
Recently one of PMall.com’s fans shared a story on our Facebook Fan Page. Her name is Aprille and her story was so touching we knew that we had to share it will all of the rest of our fans (please continue reading for the link to Aprille’s full blog post below).
Aprille, who is a Military Wife and Mother, has started her own family tradition by creating at least one new PMall.com Personalized Photo Ornament each Christmas.
She remembers her first ornament fondly as it was the first Christmas she spent with her husband.
Then there are the ornaments she personalized with the words “Almost Together” to capture the heartbreaking Christmas that she and her son had to celebrate without their husband and father because he was deployed.
Last year she decided that her “Almost Together” ornament needed a sequel so she personalized a new ornament that featured a beautiful family photo and the words, “Together Forever” to celebrate the Christmas they shared as a family.
One evening this year she turned to her son who had been painting at the table and saw that he had put red paint on his nose.
She was thrilled to be able to serendipitously capture that moment and turn that into another ornament that she will always treasure.
We are so thankful to Aprille for sharing her story and the photos of all her ornaments and we are honored that we are able to play a small role in her beautiful new Christmas tradition!
Check out Aprille’s full story, ”Our Christmas Ornament Tradition” from her Beautiful In His Time Blog, by clicking the previous link. When you get to her blog you’ll be able to see photos of all the ornaments she has personalized and you’ll be able to hear the touching story straight from her!
We’d like to say Thank You again to Aprille for sharing her story and if any other PMall fans out there have stories about any of the gifts they’ve personalized from PMall.com we’d love to hear them! Email your stories to social@pmall.com.
From everyone at PMall.com and A Personal Touch - we hope you have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
Bring Christmas to the College Dorms with PMall!
05 months ago
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Unless you’re a college student, that is. While most of us are already feeling the Christmas spirit and have started our shopping, decorated our Christmas trees, or began baking Christmas cookies, etc., there are a bunch of college students out there who are so wrapped up in studying for finals and completing semester projects that they’re missing out on all the fun. That’s why we wanted to offer some great gift suggestions for parents of college students who would like to bring Christmas to the college dorms! There’s nothing better than receiving a package when you’re away at school and we have just the things to help bring a smile to your student’s face during this stressful time.
PMall.com’s Personalized Christmas Gifts Store has all sorts of great home decor that would look great in the dorms!
Personalized door banners like the Christmas Nice List (far left) and the Merry Christmas designs (left) are the perfect decorations for the dorm because they can be hung on the door and won’t take up any space in their already-cramped living quarters.
You can personalize the Nice List design with all the names of his or her friends who live on the floor and your student can hang a marker so their friends can write and leave messages that they’ll treasure year after year. The Merry Christmas design, which features an adorable snowman, can be personalized with your student and their roommate’s names or personalize it with the new club, fraternity or sorority they recently joined!
Help make your student’s all-nighter tolerable by including one of our Personalized Coffee Mugs in your Christmas care package. We have several designs to fit everyone’s taste but we recommend sticking with the Christmas theme and personalizing the Ghiradelli® Hot Cocoa Personalized Bistro Mug because not only will they receive a merry and bright new mug, they’ll love getting their own packet of double chocolate gourmet hot cocoa to warm their heart and their senses! If they’re going to be up all night studying, they may as well be doing it while enjoying delicious hot cocoa that will help give them a welcome boost at all hours of the night!
While PMall.com’s Christmas Gifts Store is full of great gift ideas to send to your son or daughter in the dorms, we thought we’d leave you with a great gift idea that will help you save money, too!
PMall.com’s Personalized Doormats are always a favorite among our customers and our Personalized Christmas Doormats have some of the cutest designs out there! Our doormats, like the adorable Welcome To Our Workshop design which features little elf feet, not only spread the Christmas cheer, they can also help you save some money by giving your student and their friends a place to wipe their boots and hopefully helping you get back some of your security deposit at the end of the school year! After all, taking all those trips to their classes, the library and the cafeteria can get boots pretty muddy. With a cute personalize doormat, you can prevent them from tracking all of that winter slush into their dorm room and ruining the carpet.
It’s time to start putting together a care package for your son or daughter in the dorms! Head over to our Personalized Christmas Gifts Store and have fun picking out what’s best for your student. Think of how nice it will be for them to take a break from studying and get a little taste of home this holiday season … you’ll be a hero!
