Our Fabulous Friends- Lil' Angel Gifts

July 13, 2009


We must tell you about our Canadian friend who we met through the marvelous Twitter of course! (follow them @lilangelgifts)

Lil’ Angel Gifts is a small family company, with all originally designed products. This particular product is a wonderful solution to an age old problem and I wish i'd had one for my groom on my wedding day!





Here's a bit of a description from the website!

Let’s face it brides- there are a lot of really impersonal gifts out there for your wedding party. Engraved flasks just don’t cut it any more. Brides are looking for gifts that are unique and truly more personal.

What if you could give your groom a gift that is so personal, he’d be drawn to tears?

Lil’ Angel Gifts offers a gift that- with your help- is sure to make your groom cry. Their wonderful For My Groom Journal (a journal from the bride to her groom) is a sweet little relationship journal....
