April 2008 - WEDDINGS!!!

Here comes the bride, all dressed in white...

An unforgettable 
centerpiece
Cocoa Room Mix5
Think designer chocolate
(Oprah's fave).
 
Think eclectic dragee mix of candy-coated pistachios, almonds, sunflower seeds, dried fruit.
 
Think of such candy beautifully displayed in a white bowl, center of every guest table.
 
Think of your guests helping themselves, 
kids in a candy store (little sake cups would be perfect vessels for scooping up such delights)!
 
Think fun, interactive, memorable and customized to match your wedding's colors.
 
Think
 
I WANT THIS
I NEED THIS
I HAVE TO HAVE THIS
 
 
We agree.  Call us.
 
 
WE'LL MISS YOU
TAMMY!!!

TAMARA CHILD
 
We love this girl! 
 
Please meet Tamara Child - a.k.a. Tammy - a beautiful bride not too long ago. 
 
Up until this month, Tammy helmed our York Region, Ontario location, with an infectious smile, absolutely adorable personality and disposition, and an unparalleled knack for getting everything just right (attention to detail, absolutely)!
 
We wish it could have continued forever!
 
Alas, Tammy had to relocate many, many miles away and will be starting a new life down south with her wonderful hubby. 
 
We wish her well. 
 
Lucky for us, she may just be joining 2B&B in another role in the future.  Greater still, she sold her location to an amazing gal, Vanessa Gorgonio, who has taken over with the same degree of impeccable taste, customer service, and attention to detail
(and she's pretty adorable too).
 
With all that said, we couldn't help but feature Tammy in the spotlight one last time.
Well deserved.
 
 
Here are her thoughts on joining the 2B&B family...
 
 

What was your educational and career background prior to joining 2B&B?

 

"I went to the University of Guelph and got an Hon.B.A. in Criminal Justice and Public Policy.  After graduating I got a job at the RCMP as a criminal analyst, and did that for 4 years." 

 

Can you tell us about your family?

 

"My family is probably the smallest on record!  Extended family included, there are only 21 of us, and we're all extremely close, which is nice, since we all live within a couple blocks of each other!  I don't have any siblings, but I do have two amazing parents, and I did win the husband lottery."   

 

What appealed to you about joining 2B&B?

 

"I was really drawn to the obvious quality of 2B&B.  Gift baskets are usually thought of as a cheap, go to gift idea when you don't know what to get someone.  But 2B&B offers high quality, sought after gifts, making these gift baskets your first choice!  I also like the creativity and flexibility this career allows." 

 

What is your goal with 2B&B in your community? 

 

"My goal was to make 2B&B a household name in York Region!  Now I'm passing the torch onto a very good friend of mine who is creative, thoughtful, and very girly.  I know she will continue to spread great gifts throughout York Region." 

 

What are your favorite

2B&B products?
 

"I love the Nutmeg and Ginger body wash and lotion.  Makes everyday smell like Christmas!  I also love the Chocolate-Caramel Corn, Key Lime Cookies, and the Little-I Mints." 

 
 
THANK YOU TAMMY!!!!
 
We miss you and wish you nothing but the absolute best!!!

DO'S &
DON'TS
(of Tasteful Gift Decor)
WEDDING AND SHOWER GIFTS
 

DO give something that reflects the couple's tastes and style, especially if it can be looked at and remembered fondly down the road.  Original art is stunning.  To keep it affordable, pool in with others of discriminating taste and look for an up and coming artist, even a very talented student, eager to promote their work

 

DON'T pool in with others only to get the bride and groom a forest green wrought iron 'Little Wine Rack' that actually stands 10 feet x 4 feet.  Even if it was 75% off.      

 

(Okay, that got a little personal :)
