Who do mothers trust most when it comes to shopping for their families? Not company websites; not Facebook pages; and not their Twitter streams. It’s Mom’s tried and true circle of friends; it’s other moms and mom bloggers.

Most of us have suffered from a broken heart at some point in our lives. Is it just an emotional expression of love gone wrong…or is a broken heart a bonafide medical condition?

Baby Shower Favors and Gifts is a labor of love for husband and wife shopkeepers, Jim and Ann Pietrangelo. We operate WebCamp One, a web design and development company that is actively engaged in helping small businesses take advantage of the opportunities that the Internet offers. Together, we created V Shoppes and, under that umbrella, are in the process of opening online stores, each one geared towards helping today’s active and busy consumers find just the products they need without having to sort through the clutter so often found in online shops.
Baby Shower Favors and Gifts is our first store, specializing in baby shower favors that will make party guests feel appreciated — and perhaps even a bit pampered. Saying, “Thank you” never goes out of style. We hope you agree that our favors make ideal mementos for anyone who makes the effort to participate in the celebration of new life that is the baby shower.
Moms…babies…friendship…that’s what it’s all about.

Chefs were assigned the task of creating a gourmet banquet using only food that was destined for the trash, or in some cases, already in the trash. Sounds disgusting, right? It was, but not in the way one might expect.
