News and Stuff
Halloween Fun Packs!
I always like to give out "Goody Bags" at
Halloween instead of just candy. Sure, the bags may contain some candy,
but I also like to throw in some surprises. Last year, there were
stickers, toys, noisemakers, and little gemstone baubles. The bags were a
huge hit with everyone, since even kids like to get a break from the candy after
a while!
For those of you who also like to get away from
the mindless candy stupor, I have a lot of interesting ideas for goody bag
stuffers:
Value Packs
Lots of little gifts at discounted prices. Try pendants (don't forget
chains or cords for them!), rings, or gem bottles.
Point Beads on Wire
If you take a Point Bead and string it on a thin black cord or beading
wire, it makes a fun gift that is also a tiny bit spooky. I recommend
Clear Quartz, as it has a "mystical" feel to it, but maybe you'll prefer
something more homey.
Loose Gemstones
Buy up a couple of bags of Faceted or
Cabochon Gems,
divide them up, and put them in little plastic bags or tape to a strip of card
stock. Kids LOVE real gems!
Polished Gems
Try Polished Tumbled Stones, a bag of Mini Gem Chips, a hunk of Window
Quartz, or some Medicine Stones. A little goes a long way.
Worry Dolls
What can be more worrisome than a night devoted to the lower spirits?
Kids can tell the Worry Dolls their fears, put the dolls under their pillows,
and wake up with the fears removed! Be sure to include a small card with
the doll to explain its use!
Twig Pencils
The Back to School excitement is over, and the blahs have set in. Why
not perk kids up with a cool twig pencil?
Snake In a Box
SURPRISE! A perfect Halloween scare!
Small Pendants
Presentation Ideas
Don't forget a bag or purse to put them in!
SPECIAL SALE, ONE WEEK
ONLY:
It's hard to buy a bunch of pendants, and then have to pay an extra dollar
for a bag to put them in. But you still feel funny about putting pretty
things into a crackling paper sack or squishy plastic bag. This week and
this week ONLY, for each small drawstring bag you purchase, I will
include an extra one FREE. This will enable you to present your
treats in an elegant and slightly eerie manner without paying a lot. No
limit.
Fortnightly Sale
Half Price Double Pyramids!
I really like Double Pyramid Pendants, but most people don't even know they
exist, so I am going to promote them for this week's sale. All Double
Pyramids will be half price, which makes them just $1.50 each. All sorts
of stones to choose from, but supplies are limited and once they are gone, there
are no more. Act quickly!
Or see a larger selection on Ephemerala Online:
Half Price Double Pyramids Sale is good through October 31,
2004.
Penny Sale
Every two weeks, I hide a new special offer somewhere on my online
site. This listing will offer a certain product for ONE CENT, with any
purchase of $10.00 or more. The item and its location will change every
two weeks, so be sure to look often. Simply go to my online store site:
and browse until you find the hidden listing. Add it to your cart,
along with the rest of your $10+ order, and it will be included for just a
penny. Happy Hunting!
(Recent keen-eyed customers got a TUMBLED POLISHED GEMSTONE for a
penny. What will you be able to get this week?)
Insider's Special
2-for-1 Aventurine Stuff
Perfectly simple: Buy anything made out of Aventurine (Red, Blue, Green,
Yellow, Ruby, etc.) this week, and I'll include an identical or similar
Aventurine item. This applies to beads, bracelets, bottles, rings, and
pendants. No limit, knock yourself out! All I ask is that you make a
little note of your special status so I will know to double your order.
2-for-1 Aventurine Offer is good through October 31,
2004.
