Firefly Spirit Studios Puts Some Enlightened Gusto into Halloween Party Invitations for a Holiday that is Growing in Popularity Every Year
Florham Park, New Jersey (ContentDesk) August 3, 2005 -- Halloween invitations have taken on a whole new look thanks to Firefly Spirit Studios. What's really so different about them? You'll be glad to know that the people at Firefly just don't understand the standard, everyday thinking that passes for creativity. An example:
When Caralyn contacted Firefly Spirit Studios in 2004 for a special invitation for her and her husband's annual Halloween party, they had seen Firefly on the web, but didn't see anything for Halloween. She was intrigued enough by what she did see to inquire whether there was anything for halloween in the pipeline. They happened to have several designs in progress (she was into planning way in advance!).
and after a little fine-tuning, successfully adapted a card design that gave her exactly what she wanted."This fine-tuning was possible,"
according to partner, Karen Gross,
"because a card is printed only after a design is customized. It may not be as fast; it may not be as thrifty; but you are destined to get not only a unique design vision, but customization far beyond what you have come to expect. Print invitations are just one part of the Firefly Spirit Studios story, though.""The other part is animated CD invitations with custom labels and jewel case covers," adds Linda Campos, the younger partner by a generation.
"The animated category is attracting more interest every day. Animation is a lot of fun - and not generally available on CDs that allow the recipient to have an animation invitation they can actually feel and touch which is much more personal than a simple e-mail.
Not only that, you also get an insert that can go up on a bulletin board, or the refrigerator, as a reminder of the details. But, Firefly likes being on the slippery leading edge, and that doesn't apply only to animation.
Tried and true isn't typical of Firefly. Designs that are more colorful and ingenious are."Halloween celebrations offer many possibilities.
If it's frivolous fun, frivolously spooky, or darkly haunting, Firefly Spirit Studios offers designs that surprise and delight.
The firefly that joyfully flashes in the night was the company's inspiration; Firefly Spirit Studios joyfully flashes, too...with inspiration...in every invitation and announcement they design.Visit the Firefly Spirit Studios web site at www.fireflyspirit.com to see the entire collection of invitations and announcements.

Happy Birthday to You!
With so many choices, it's almost impossible not to find a great birthday gift basket for anyone. For her there are spa gift baskets, full of luxurious lotions and bubble bath. For him there are fishing gift baskets, baseball gift baskets, and even golf gift baskets.Birthday gift baskets are often full of goodies and treats and often contain a special centerpiece item such as a Teddy bear, picture frame, or lotions and soaps. Try to choose something that reflects the personality of the recipient. There are many themed gift baskets that may be more appropriate than a general purpose gift basket.For instance, don't exclude a coffee gift basket for someone that really enjoys coffee just because you don't see it listed as a birthday gift basket.
Children may appreciate a basket with a plush toy while an adult might prefer a gift basket with chocolate and a bottle of wine. A birthday gift basket is a good choice for coworkers or employees, family, and friends. They are available in...
