10/27/2011 By Catherine

Personalized gifts for birthdays are the BEST! I know that I have always remembered the gifts in which I could tell someone had taken that extra little step to make it personal and special. I think that is one reason that I enjoy creating gifts for others. It brings me joy to know that Classic Legacy creations are being used in a personal way to remember someone on their birthday. Here are some of the most popular personalized gifts available at Classic Legacy.

Bottle Stopper with Happy Birthday Theme

Our charmed and beaded bottle stopper is one of our best sellers. The charms included on this stopper include a present, a Happy Birthday Balloon, and the words Happy Birthday. The charms are colorful and cheerful. We also have a more tailored bottle stopper that is perfect for men. A wine bottle stopper is a wonderful gift that will be used. The recipient will also remember that they received this one on a special birthday!

Wine Carrier with a Special Personalized Theme

Think of a special theme that your friend likes. Do they have a favorite sports team? Do they love their heritage? I know that I sell lots of fleur de lis theme gifts. I think everyone in the state of Louisiana loves fleur de lis and this wine carrier in the purple color has been a big hit!

Creative Requests

Sometimes I confess I request something that is a little different…….I call these ”creative requests”…….anyway I just had a birthday and I requested that the lights that I love that adorn my tree that looks outside my window be redone. I love to look out at night and see little twinkling lights. I will enjoy this present for many months! My advice is to be creative and think about giving a personalized gift for the next birthday occasion in your life.

Gifts to Celebrate Special Occassions: Happy Birthday America

06/24/2011 By Catherine

Classic Legacy Wine Bottle Stopper with USA Theme

Celebrating July 4th is such a tradition and so much fun! Whether you go to a baseball game and hear a beautiful rendition of “America,” or have a cook-out in your backyard with friends and neighbors, it is a day of remembering and thanksgiving. Classic Legacy offers you many ways to celebrate, one of which is with our Classic Legacy wine bottle stopper with the USA theme and colorful red, white and blue glass beads.

Classic Legacy also had the opportunity to make custom corporate products for Ridgefield, CT, for the town’s 300th birthday, using the town’s logo.

Our independence as a nation began with the American Revolution (1775-83) and was declared a federal holiday in 1941. Freedom is a gift and so often it is taken for granted. Ask a war veteran or a current enlisted man if he takes freedom for granted. Those who have been touched by war, whether in battle, behind the scenes, or as a family back home, cannot forget how our freedom in the United States is maintained. I really like this anonymous yet very appropriate quote: “Freedom is never given, it is won.” What a great reminder. Another frequent reminder could be a Classic Legacy product that you use often. This letter opener is embellished with the USA Flag.

At Classic Legacy we are very grateful for the freedom we have in this country. We are thankful for the men and women who have put their lives on the line for all of us and for those who have lost their lives as a result. We rejoice in the heritage we have been given from our forefathers and the freedom we still possess as a country. We can truly celebrate this fourth of July! Pass on love for our country and its freedom to our children. Let them know why we celebrate with fireworks and flags!! Have a wonderful July 4th celebration, whether big or small, and wave your flag high!

Niche Markets, Customer Service, and Corporate/Custom Gifts

06/20/2011 By Catherine

“You went above and beyond what I’d expected. Thank you so much.” Those words were spoken to me by a client with whom I’d been working to develop themed gifts for his website. Mike Donovan, of Drum Bum Inc., has developed an impressive web presence in the niche market of drums, drum related accessories, and drum and music gifts.

Mike was searching for additional quality products to add to his line of music gifts. Mike and I conferred on the categories of products that he felt might fit his needs. I put my imagination, and my Classic Legacy team, to work and came up with numerous samples for Mike’s consideration.

Classic Legacy Silver Frame, Drum Theme

After he’d received our samples Mike and I chatted by phone. That’s when I heard the words, “Catherine, You went above and beyond…”

Classic Legacy Drum theme Wine Carrier

As the owner of a wholesale gift company, striving to help meet the needs of my customers, those words were music to my ears. While I love my work, and truly enjoy creating and problem solving for my customers, my goal and mission for Classic Legacy is to give more than is expected.

The samples I’ve shown here are just a few of the choices that Classic Legacy presented to Mike. We wanted Drum Bum, Inc. to be able to choose from a wide array of products and price points.

May I put my imagination and my Classic Legacy team to work for you? We’d love to perform in a manner that is “above and beyond” by providing you with a variety of choices in the themed, custom or corporate products to assist you with your gift needs.

Thank you Mike, for making my day!
