birthday giveaway bash . the plaid cupcake

March 28, 2012 separator etsy

Have I told you guys about my big Europe trip yet? Well, I hate to gloat, but I’m heading that way in May!!! I’ve not been out of the country in almost two year, so I’m starting to get the travel bug big time. Since I won’t be backpacking this go ’round, I’m thinking I might bring a nice, big suitcase to actually be able to take home some goodies with me!

I’m flying into Munich and then visiting the Netherlands, Belgium, and Romania. I couldn’t be more excited, and I’ve been counting down since I bought the plane ticket – eeeeek!!! Which brings me to today’s wonderful continuation of the giveaway love – The Plaid Cupcake! This hand-sewn confectionery shop peddles all sorts of little goodies, but I’m kind of partial to the luggage tags. Do I need one for my upcoming trip, maybe…?!

Oooh – and a passport sleeve!!!


One lucky winner will get a $30 gift certificate to spend on anything they want from The Plaid Cupcake. You can pick out anything you want, and there’s lots to choose from. One of the things I really love is the wide variety of fabric prints throughout – that and the practicality of everything in the shop!


How cute are these prints, though? Seriously? I don’t know if I could keep up with a coffee sleeve, but I do know that my passport is feeling awfully naked right about now…



Like I said, somebody gets a $30 gift certificate! It’s open to everyone worldwide, and this shop is chock full of great gift ideas! Mother’s Day isn’t too far off now!!
