Fancy That $100 Giveaway!

*UPDATE* This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to comment #209, Amy Cooley! Thanks to all who entered!!

It’s time for another fabulous giveaway!

Win a whoppin’ $100 gift certificate to the darling shop, Fancy That!! Wahoo! I’m telling ya, there’s so much that $100 could buy in this lovely online shop!

"When an all-ages (yes, adults too!) party planning business is located inside a bakery, you know you’ve come to a place where fun and delicious treats rule the day. Living, laughing and loving inside Bliss Bake Shop in Portland, Oregon, Fancy That provides in-store and at-home party packages for everybody. Luckily, those of us who don’t live in Oregon can still reap the rewards of Fancy That because they have an awesome online shop, too!

Throughout many years of helping friends and family plan birthdays, weddings, get-togethers and more, mother of two, Lisa Komer, learned that preparing the perfect party is a multi-faceted challenge that can result in a planner who’s more frazzled than fun. Also, easily-accessible planning ideas seem convenient but often suffer a severe lack individuality and flair, leaving both host and guest with the disappointing feeling that they’ve attended this generic party before. With this in mind, Komer founded Fancy That in 2006, following a fresh, customer-oriented mission statement to “create custom products and party packages that are unique, stylish, and a bit quirky.” Would you like to treat your friends to tea, brunch or a girl’s night out? Is your child a rock star, a rainbow, or a princess and you want to give them a fantastically memorable birthday party to match? Let Lisa provide the tools and support for you to host at home, or the space to relax and enjoy as she does the hosting for you. No step is overlooked, as Fancy That also offers custom greeting and announcement cards and DIY party and gift supplies both in-store and online.

From busy adults striving to maintain friendships and the joie de vivre of being a grown-up, to caring parents hoping to bring memorable magic to a special moment in their child’s life, Fancy That offers comprehensive, personalized packages tailored to you and yours."
