Do you remember all the gifts you received for Christmas or Hannakah last year?
If you are like most people, probably not.
Most people can not recall the majority of gifts that they’ve received from their friends and family a short year later (and, often, they can not remember after a few months have passed.) Sadly, the fact is that unless your gift is something extraordinary, unique, and carefully thought out, the ones you love the most will not remember the gift, nor the sentiment attached – unless, that is, you forgot the occasion – then, you will be remembered for that – forever.
This is a little discouraging, isn’t it? But, if you think about your Christmas last year, you will know that this is a fact.
Unfortunately, we live in an age where often we are backed into the very, very dangerous “last minute buying” mode where ANYTHING – yes, sometimes even including the petrified fruit cake hiding on the back of the shelf – will do….I mean, *anything* is better than the dreaded forever-remembrance of nothing, right?
What if, this year, you became the hero of the holiday? Wouldn’t that be awesome? And, without even needing to stoop to the petrified fruit cake or (gasp!) gift cards? What if, this year, you could proudly say (on Thanksgiving day)…my shopping is done! And merrily go about your way to actually enjoying the holiday season from Thanksgiving through the New Year? No worries about the crowded stores, sold out items, and cranky sales staff.
We are talking an almost-Utopia!
And, to make it better, what if the gifts you gave were actually on the short-list of remembered gifts a year later, even 2 or 3 years later?
What if you could give a gift that didn’t cost thousands of dollars – but, would last far longer than any high ticket electronic?
What if….every time your beloved family member or friend caught a short glimpse of your gift, they were reminded of the warm gesture and loving care that you took to pick something out just for them?
What if I told you that was not just a dream.
Before you head off to your local big box to fight the crowds and desperately search for something that won’t be returned or, worse, end up at the back of the garage – forgotten forever, I urge you to consider a different plan this year.
Our skilled & experienced artisans are still taking orders for guaranteed Christmas delivery. It’s like Santa’s workshop around here, but, up until the 17th of November, we are accepting your custom designed Leather journal, portfolio, binder, and leather planner orders at: Legacy Journals
These are just the plain old run of the mill items that you can pick up anywhere. These are true use-able works of art – completely customized just for your loved one. We are even taking custom orders for jewelry and rosaries through the 17th (not to mention our very popular hand tooled leather products!).
If you aren’t quite sure what your loved one may like, let us work with you to design something that will take their breath away (please note, we are not liable for any medical expenses which may result from a lack of breath!).
And, if you are reading this after November 17th, wishing you had run across this sooner…..don’t despair. We will be taking rush orders (additional fees apply, and express shipping is mandatory) until November 22nd – just in time for you to proudly proclaim your Christmas shopping is done while you sit around the table on Thanksgiving.
As always, we at Saving Grace Enterprises are wishing you and your family a very, very Merry Christmas, and a joyful holiday season this year and every year.
Phone orders are quite popular around here, and, up to this point, we’ve always taken phone orders using our “tried and true” blank order forms – just like we use for taking in studio and show orders. However, we’ve realized that this is not the most efficient method for taking phone orders, either!
So, we’ve brought in a new system to take phone orders, and are very excited about the “update”. This will not change how you place your orders in person, on the phone, or online. However, it will make a difference (for us) in *taking* your orders.
We are rolling out this new system on Monday, September 18, 2006, and it may take some getting used to for us. So, we really appreciate your patience while we get used to this new system.
Again, this will not effect your ability to order online, in person, or over the phone. Nor will it effect your order. It will just make things a little more efficient “in house”, and I’m sure there will be a short period of adjustment time for us while we get used to using this new system.
Thanks so much for your patronage, and your patience! This new system will allow us to serve you better (particularly when you want to place an order that matches previous orders), and we are very excited to be able to make your experience even more enjoyable in the future!
Often, we will get a request for a product that is “sort of” like a product we offer, but, with modifications to fit a particular need. Sometimes, we love the idea so much and see a need for the product, that we plan on offering the product in the future.
Because these modification requests benefit us (by giving us the opportunity to offer another new product), we will give you a discount on your order (from what the anticipated retail price of the new product). The discount varies from product to product, however, if you have a need, and see something similar on any of our sites (or our products inspire you to request a custom designed product), just give us a call to discuss your desired modifications.
Want an example?
