Review: The Cute Glass



As you all know, I am in the long - stressful - Pain in the ASS - really fun process of planning Bid Daddy & I's wedding! So of course I had to start thinking about the Bridesmaids Gifts. I set off on Etsy looking for the perfect gifts and once I saw what The Cute Glass had to offer, I knew this was it.



I first contacted Audra, owner & artist for The Cute Glass, via Etsy and was surprised by her quick response. This is something that is important to me, as I tend to be very impatient and if I don't get a response within 24 hours I will move on to another shop. (Terrible, I know, but customer service means ALOT to me). This is something that became a pattern from Audra, she always messaged me back quickly and answered all my questions *I had quite a few*. She was so easy to work with!



She normally asks that you give her 8 weeks for her to complete your order however I actually received my order only 4 weeks after placing it! How awesome is that?? When I got my package my glasses were double wrapped in bubble wrap and the box was stuffed with those packaging peanut thingys. Those glasses weren't breaking on the trip to me! I was so excited to open them up! On top of my box was a "Thank You" card, handwritten by Audra with a discount for my next order! (Total Brownie points for the note!!)



Each glass was wrapped in tissue paper and had a tag around the bottom with all my bridesmaids names on them. I unwrapped each one and I couldn't have been any happier with the ending product! I know my bridesmaids are going to love them & I can't wait to see what everyone says about them.



If you are looking for a fun, unique gift for a wedding, birthday, retirement, etc - Audra & The Cute Glass should definitely be an option for you! They are VERY reasonably priced and you can get WHAT YOU WANT instead of getting a stock glass thats not personalized or unique. I seriously can not say enough about this Etsy seller...an A+++ in my book!



I didn't list pictures of the actual glasses I received just in case my bridesmaids end up reading this! Instead, the photo's are some of my favorites from The Cute Glass!

My Official First Post!!

Hello! If you are reading this, I want to welcome you to my newest project "The Higgins Family Happenings". The title is a little misleading as "technically" I am not a Higgins....YET! I will be in the matter of a few months (Mar 17, 2012) when I marry the love of my life!

I wanted to start this blog so that I could document the little things in life that you sometimes forget; the funny conversations (shit my kid says!), emotions (temper tantrums), reactions to different situations (Mommy Meltdowns), etc. I hope that you find my blog entertaining and to be a good read. If you like what you see, please comment & subscribe via RSS or Email!

Thanks for stopping by...
