Latte Lovers Bridal Shower + $25 Target Giveaway!

If you’ve been following my posts for Target’s “Be Yourself, Together campaign here and here, you know that I’ve been highlighting the unique differences each member of a couple brings to a relationship, and how they find common ground. One thing that both the couples I’ve shared have in common is a love for coffee. So what better theme for a bridal shower than Latte Lovers!

I love showers that have a theme, an interactive element, and of course wonderful gift ideas that go along with both! The perfect gift for this occasion? The Keurig Vue V500 Brewer! It comes with a 12 pack of various coffees and teas, and also makes hot cocoa, iced beverages and more.

For the interactive element, whip up some cupcakes and cookies with Caphalon Bakeware, and set up a decorating station with frosting, sprinkles, colored sugars, and more so your guests create their own sweet treats to go along with their lattes!

I hope you’ve enjoyed these ideas for a Latte Lovers Bridal Shower! Now for the giveaway.

If you’re putting together Christmas sewing projects, this free Poinsettia embroidery design from Ann The Gran is a really handy one to save. It’s a machine embroidery design from Contributor, sized at 3.64″ x 3.67″, with 14,949 stitches, and it fits a 4″ x 4″ hoop. It’s also offered in a wide range of formats including ART, DST, EXP, HUS, JEF, PCS, PEC, PES, SEW, VIP, and XXX.

What I like about this one is that it feels classic and easy to use. A poinsettia always works at Christmas, and because this design is fairly compact, it would be lovely on napkins, tea towels, gift bags, table runners, or even the corner of a festive cushion. It has enough detail to look pretty, but it’s still small enough to be practical. That last bit is my take based on the listed size and the preview image on the page.

It’s one of those good stash-building freebies. Not huge, not fussy, and very easy to picture on all sorts of holiday projects. If you like collecting free Christmas embroidery designs, this one is definitely worth downloading. Ann The Gran also tags it with keywords like Xmas, Flower, and Floral embroidery designs, which fits the style nicely.
