Today, to start off this fun holiday giveaway shindig, I want to introduce you to Pam from WiReD Boutique. She is a brilliant and very sweet lady who is the brains and the talent behind this cute little shop filled with lovely jewelry. Seriously, she runs it all by herself-what a rock star! I asked her some questions so you could get to know her better-read on my friends!
How do you usually celebrate the holidays?
Decorations, decorations, and more decorations! We usually set up a Christmas tree around Thanksgiving along with all the extras. Meals are lavish (which is not usually the situation) with my favorite Longaberger poinsettia pottery.
Are you a Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopper?
I’m a fingers-do-the-walking type Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopper. Actually, not so much those two days but much more around those days. I don’t do department *stores because I love the shopping experience and people in small shops and boutiques. It’s just so much more fulfilling!
What is your favorite holiday food?
Um, turkey! Definitely turkey! I’m not really a dessert person so give me another helping of turkey!
What's at the top of your holiday wishlist this year?
Jewelry, of course! But for my family (all boys) I try to find prints, posters, banners, and/or decor for my Duck Dynasty crew. Last year, I had an artist make a photo showing miniature fishing guys. It was very cool! Since I think my boys (20, 16 and 11) should smell nice, I get them some nice cologne, too.
What inspires your creations at WiReD Boutique?
I get inspiration from clothes, trends, celebrities, fabric or cards that I find, and beads and stones that I come across. Really I’m inspired by almost everything!
What keeps you motivated to continue on with your creations?
I love seeing the confidence and fun from customers that grab some recycled domino and scrabble tile jewelry! They just can’t believe their item began from a game piece. I love pushing the envelope!
WiReD Boutique has so many lovely items that I'm just infatuated with. Just look! (Click on the photo to see listing!)
Giveaway is open worldwide and ends 12/4/14 at 12AM.

ReplyDeleteI am a last minute shopper but I usually start thinking about gifts on Black Friday.
ReplyDeleteI start as soon as I A have extra cash and B find something that person would like!
ReplyDeleteI really put some thought into the gift, but truthfully, I never get started shopping until the last minute! I guess I like the pressure. :)
ReplyDeleteI used to always be super organized, but in the last few years I've become one of those terrible last minute shoppers. It's because my families requests certain gifts from people so I don't need to hunt for ideas. I already know what I'm buying everyone so I put it off forever.
ReplyDeletei am always well prepared for the holidays
ReplyDeleteI start shopping usually over the summer... around when I start school shopping.

ReplyDeleteI do not like last minute shopping so I prepare as early as possible.
ReplyDeleteI'm such a last minute shopper. We usually get done Christmas eve.
ReplyDeleteI only have my husband to buy for and he always buys himself everything he wants. I try and plan ahead but usually end up figuring something out shortly before Christmas by picking something he hasn't already gone a bought!
ReplyDeleteI started my holiday shopping today (the earliest ever!)
ReplyDeleteIt depends. Normally in November, but if I see something in like July that I love for someone, I have no problems buying and stashing it 'til Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI usually am well prepared, but this year we are moving to another state, and we are supposed to be closing on a house on December 23, so I have not even started buying the Christmas gifts!!!! It is super heck it in my home with all the packing for the move!!!
ReplyDeleteShopping is always hard for me. I never know what I want to get them. I basically forget everything they have hinted at and rush towards to the end to get them something.

ReplyDeleteI start shopping around June/July :)
