This time of year is so great for decorating because it seems like you get to switch things up a lot, which keeps your décor interesting and fresh.  I have a good friend that is so great about changing out her décor with the seasons, instead of just leaving the same old boring things up all year long like I do.  So with that in mind, I’m excited to share with you today’s featured company, Vinyl Girl.  She has some great ideas on how to spice things up for the upcoming fall season, as well as the holidays that will be here sooner than you realize.  Take a page out of her book for decorations, and you’ll be in good shape! 

Vinyl Girl is getting ready for the holidays and is excited to showcase the new items they have come up with.  Halloween is right around the corner and it’s time to get your spiders and pumpkins out of storage!  Aren’t these little light bulb Black Widows just adorable?  They are so fun and add such a cute factor to any shelf or side table in your home.  And why not give one as a gift to your child’s teacher, or a friend – anyone would love to get something as creative as this as a gift!  This idea is just a sampling of what you will find on the Vinyl Girl’s site, so be sure to check it out often!

It’s another great day, Simply Utah viewers!  Vinyl Girl is generously offering you 25% off ANY custom lettering order or item!  That’s right, if you can think it, she can create it.  Just be sure to mention Simply Utah when contacting Vinyl Girl to place your order to receive your great discount.

Let’s liven things up this holiday season with some unique accent touches from Vinyl Girl.  They’re products are creative, stylish, and most importantly fun!  Plus you pretty much can’t go wrong with something vinyl these days, so come see all that Vinyl Girl has to offer you.

Who out there doesn’t love a good cupcake?  I can at least speak for myself when it comes to this topic – I LOVE them!!  I think because they are smaller I can justify eating 3 of them…okay, more like 5!  But there is definitely more to the cupcake these days than just plain old vanilla or chocolate cake with some frosting on top.  They seem to come in a plethora of flavors and are decorated so creatively, almost to the point where if you can think it, someone can create it.  And today, that someone is The Sweetest Thing.

The Sweetest Thing started as a hobby for Tami when she was off work with her son who had some medical problems.  While she nursed him back to health she started baking and decorating, and passing cupcakes out to friends and family that were there for Tami’s family through some tough times.  After much pressure and suggestions from those friends and family and others who read her blog, she started TheSweetestThingblog.blogspot.com and here she is today!  Tami currently works part time at the same Children’s Hospital her son spent time in and The Sweetest Thing has taken off!  She loves making new ideas and copying all of the best ideas out there that she can find!  She has some of the most mouth watering recipes that are so wonderful – you should buy them just because life is short and you deserve it!  Surprise your neighbor, your mom or your best girlfriend; say you love them with some amazing cupcakes from The Sweetest Thing!

The Sweetest Thing offers cupcakes, cake pops, brownie pops, crispy treats – you name it, they will make it!  They also have many back to school items as well as birthday and holiday themes.  Bring them your own inspiration or choose from ideas off their blog.  As always, The Sweetest Thing is happy to discuss your treats and offer thoughts before you make your purchase to make it a memorable one.  And of course, all treats are made from scratch and are made fresh the day they are delivered!

Hey Simply Utah viewers, The Sweetest Thing is happy to offer you 25% off your order of 2 dozen cupcakes or more!  This offer is valid for the ENTIRE month of September, so hurry and book today because slots fill up fast!

Why not do something a little extra special for team treats this football season.  Contact The Sweetest Thing today to place an order for some spectacular football cupcakes the boys will love.  Or looking for something adorable for an upcoming baby shower?  The Sweetest Thing has got ya covered and will help relieve some of the stress from your upcoming event.  So don’t delay, order your cupcakes today!

Tutus and pettiskirts are all the rage right now, so I ask you this – do you have yours yet???  If not, then today’s featured company, Firefly Tutus, is especially for you!  Here is what I personally love about Firefly Tutus: they have EVERY color possible to create the exact tutu or pettiskirt that your little girl is looking for, seriously!  Oh yeah, and did I mention how adorable they are?  I myself am the proud owner of one of their tutus, and let me just say it did not disappoint!  I was able to choose my colors and even the length of the tutu, which is pretty cool.  Now my little girl is always asking to put it on ‘cause she just likes to wear it, and she’s not a very “girly girl” if ya know what I mean. :)  And I must admit, she looks pretty darn cute in it.  Plus Halloween is just around the corner, and if you’re trying to figure out what your girls should be this year, a tutu is a great starting point for any costume!    

Today’s featured company is none other than Firefly Tutus, where they specialize in quality, custom handmade tutus.  All you have to do is take one look at the pictures on their website and you find yourself saying “I have got to get me one of those!”  What you may not realize is how versatile tutus actually are.  Firefly Tutus are perfect for birthdays, weddings, pictures, holidays, and most importantly just for fun!  They’ve got you covered for all of life’s fun events.  They can also custom create your tutu to fit your needs.  You have endless colors to choose from so you’re sure to get exactly what you want.  And if you’re a photographer, you’ve just got to stock your prop bag with some of their adorable tutus, because now is the perfect chance.          

Simply Utah viewers, Firefly Tutus would like to offer you 25% off of your ENTIRE order today!  It doesn’t get much better than that, trust me!  Just be sure to enter the coupon code simply25 when placing your order to receive this amazing discount. 

Did you know that Firefly Tutus also carries the most adorable vintage inspired headbands?  Well they do, and you can check out pictures of them on their Facebook page while you’re becoming a fan of theirs.  Just be prepared, because they are to die for!

Who doesn’t love a good deal?  Well then today you’ve got to check out our featured website SnagOne.com.

SnagOne.com‘s story starts with two brothers – Clark & Owen Fuller. Growing up in a family of 10 boys and 1 girl taught them a couple key things…

1) – Grab quickly after the dinner is blessed (they call it the  “amen reach”)
and
2) – When you come across a good deal, you better snag one!

That’s why the Fuller bros teamed up to create SnagOne.com – Utah’s new site for local offers, so good that they make your snag finger itch.

Here’s how it works: each day at SnagOne.com there is one gigantic offer from a local partner – lately they’ve featured deals from SONIC Drive-in, BYU Sports, The Quarry, and Invited Inn in Park City – and these aren’t your run-of-the-mill deals either, we’re talking 50-90% off.

You have to admit, getting those kind of savings on Utah’s best stuff is definitely better than a kick in the pants!
