Cool Giveaway:

Vera Bradley released all new colors and styles, and I am absolutely in love with the Sophie Watercolor bag. The perfect size for a quick outing, it has plenty of pockets (six in all) and at a retail price of just $42 also makes a great gift for a friend. Speaking of gifts, with Mother’s Day just around the corner, there’s no need to search high and low for the perfect present. Just visit Vera Bradley’s What’s New or Gift Ideas and you’re good to go. The Gift Ideas link allows you to search by price starting at gifts under $30 such as the Hard Sunglass Case ($22) perfect for the upcoming season. Or if you’re like me, Mother’s Day is also a good time to offer hints to hubby in the form of an email “Check out this Vera Bradley Laptop Case! Wouldn’t that be a great gift for Mother’s Day?”  In my experience more subtle hints do not translate to the gift I was hinting for hence the rather explicit “hint” suggestion.

And if you’re one of those Vera diehards, like my friend Debby, and must have the newest items, check out the Rolling Luggage in Boysenberry and prepare to be awed. Not quite sure what the Vera hubbub is all about? Read a previous post about how I become a convert.
