Older Boy Gifts From Melissa and Doug

We often have customers looking for gifts for older boys. That is a really hard age to find fun and well made gifts that are moderately priced. We have found quite a few "cool" toys made by Melissa and Doug. The Card Tricks Unshuffled set was selected as one of the top ten toys for ages 8-12 by Disney's Family Fun magazine. The Chinese Checker game and the Tabletop Baseball are also great classic toys that will last for decades. Visit our older boy gift category at http://www.shopjellybeans.com/ to see more great gifts for boys or girls.

Kids Christmas Pajamas at Jellybeans

Nothing is as adorable as a new holiday nightgown and robe or pajamas for Christmas morning pictures. We always have the kids open one present Christmas Eve before bedtime and the reading of "The Night Before Christmas". They know that it is their new pajamas. They run up and put on their new nightwear and snuggle down for the reading of their favorite poem. They always look so cute and are soooo excited! I always love to get the girls a cute peignoir set by Laura Dare. Visit the Merry Christmas category at http://www.shopjellybeans.com/ to see all of our fun holiday nightwear.

Mandy in Peaches and Cream

This weekend I was lucky enough to have the grandchildren come to visit. Their mom and dad had a weekend event and dropped them off at my house on Friday. We had a great time and even went to the movie to see Madagascar 2. One of the highlights of their Wauchula visits, is that I can bring Mandy to the store to model for http://www.shopjellybeans.com/. We have fun and it is great to see just how cute some of our outfits look on a sassy little girl.

Meredith Viera gives Natalie's baby a Zoobie Pet

I saw on the Today show where Meredith had given Natalie Moralez the Lencho Lion Zoobie Pet for her new baby. These toys are so soft and cuddly and the perfect gift for a baby or birthday gift.

They are perfect for airplane and car travel, or just to take to Grandma's house. They are available at http://www.shopjellybeans.com/ and have a great price point.

Oh My Goodness - It's Almost Over

The view from Jellybeans front door

We can't believe that the Main Street beautification project is almost completed. Kelly and I arrived at work this morning and flowers were blooming in the flower beds and the brick patterns were laid. Tomorrow is the deadline for completion and the crew is really working hard to be finished on time. We are so excited to reopen our front door, put our flower pots on the sidewalk, and take that obnoxious sign in our window down that begs our customers to use the back door. Hopefully, tomorrow our customers can enter Jellybeans through the front door!

BJ Loves To Visit Jellybeans

Bj is one of our favorite customers at Jellybeans. He came shopping today with his sweet mama and adorable little sister. BJ is wearing his LeTop mummy pant set that his mom bought at one of http://www.shopjellybeans.com/ famous two hour sales. BJ knows the routine at Jellybeans. First he always bakes cookies, then he smiles for our camera, and finally, after such a hard day shopping and playing, he takes a nap.

Memories from North Wauchula Elementary

As many of you know, back in another life, I taught kindergarten at North Wauchula Elementary for many years. It seems that I always had the most interesting and imaginative five years olds. Now, they are all grown up, and many of them are teachers themselves. When I see them around town, I see that little round smiling face that I loved so much. Today as I was sitting in church I looked over and saw one of my favorite kindergarteners sitting with his precious family. I smiled to myself as I thought of the day that he came into the classroom and announced that he could read. We had been learning letters and sounds and I was excited to see how he had merged those mysterious letters together to form a word. He looked up at the EXIT sign that led to the bus loading area. He very carefully spelled E-X-I-T and proclaimed "It says, Open the door and go out." Shop for Melissa and Doug learning toys at http://www.shopjellybeans.com/ to get your little preschooler started on the right foot.

Which way would you go? Just a little confusing!

The finished look

The Bailey Family

I know that several of http://www.shopjellybeans.com/ customers follow our blog. Here is a family photo taken the last Thanksgiving that my dear husband Walter was with us. Finding myself a widow, with none of my children living close, I decided to go for a dream and open Jellybeans. I hope that this photo will bring faces to our cute website.
Front row: sister in law Phyllis (she looks more like my girls than I do), baby daughter Amy (college student in NYC), middle daughter Jenny (she lives in West Palm Beach and is getting married in December), myself-Evelyn, daughter in law Dana (she's such a sweetie) husband Walter (we were married 35 years).
Back row: Son-Michael (he and Dana have three children and live in Deland where he is a veterinarian, Phyllis's husband Steve (known to my children as Uncle Stevie Baby).
Michael, Jenny, and Dana are all proud graduates of Auburn University.
We did not rope the kids in for the photo, but they are all over the blog and website.
Everyone in this picture is an integral part of Jellybeans support group. They have all worked at the shop on Thanksgiving and Christmas visits-Phyllis can wrap a mean gift!

Tyson is preppy in his Jellybeans duds

Tyson looks like the perfect little gentleman in his preppy shirt, pants, and Pediped flex Charlie loafers that his BooBoo brought him home from http://www.shopjellybeans.com/. He likes the way that he looks all dressed up, but just can't bring himself to let go of his fishing pole. Something makes me think that it runs in the family! Have fun Tyson and bring us home some fish to fry.

Brother and Sister Looks From Funtasia Too

Funtasia Too is known for their adorable appliques and unique reversible brother and sister collections. This years Christmas design is "Santa's Sleigh". Some of the outfits reverse to hearts or cars. Some have button off bows for a change of season. They are produced and designed in the United States.

Pictured are Mandy and Delaney in their adorable "cousins" outfits. What will we choose for Christmas 2008? Whatever is left on the rack in their sizes!!!

Halloween Tradition at Jellybeans- Guess the Corn!!

Every year since we have opened, we have had fun with the "Guess the Candy Corn" promotion at Jellybeans. We fill a pumpkin or some sort of container with candy corn and with each purchase our customers receive a guess as to how many pieces of candy are in the pumpkin. Last year, someone guessed within five, and no one else was even close. This isn't just for fun, we have a gift basket filled with Halloween treats and surprises and a $50 gift card. The promotion begins today, October 1 and we will call the winner on Halloween to come and pick up their prize. This years gift basket is filled with a Gund trick or treat bag, zip along spiders, light up belt ghouls-for safe trick or treating, Halloween pens-to drive the teachers crazy, and a Monster Truck Tee shirt. It is also filled with lots of candy to give the little darlings extra energy. Of course, mom's love the gift card! Come in and shop and bring a math wizard to help with your calculations.
