Lighthouse Christian Products, Heritage Lace and Alexa’s Angels are among the gift companies releasing new products for Christmas. Among Lighthouse Christian Products’ new holiday items are the Message from God Mailbox Ornament and a line of Christmas ornament plaques. The Message from God Mailbox Ornament contains a special note from God that slips in and out of the mailbox and can be personalized with a fine-tip marker. The ornament also features the John 3:16 scripture reference. At an affordable $9.99 suggested retail price, retailers can encourage add-on sales for ornament exchanges or stocking stuffers. LCP’s small plaque ornaments each feature one word—Believe, Jesus, Faith, Rejoice, Christmas or Hope. They are shaped like vintage TV sets and can be hung on a Christmas tree, or used as part of a napkin ring or as gift tags. The painted wood ornaments come in gold tone and have a braided metal wire. They retail for $4.99 each. Click on the following link to see LCP’s three brief Christmas product videos: www.lcpgifts.com/christmas2013.aspx. Textile and specialty products manufacturer Heritage Lace is offering new accessories from its natural wovens and Modé Crochet line for the holiday table and serving area. Textiles like natural wovens, which look like burlap, but have the feel of cotton, and Modé Crochet baskets are available in a variety of styles and colors to complement a Thanksgiving feast or a holiday tablescape. The new washable line of natural wovens include Holly—Be Merry and Joyeux Noel. Modé Crochet is a tightly woven basket-like weave that Heritage Lace has used to create charger plates, coasters and baskets that can be used for food, drinks or to hold items like napkins. These items are hand-crocheted by artisans using polypropylene yarn. Learn more at www.heritagelace.com. Alexa’s Angels is now debuting several new products, including some unique Christmas jewelry. The company’s Angel Wing Christmas Bracelet and Believe Christmas Positivity Bracelet Set come in traditional Christmas red and green and each retails for $10. The Angel Wing Christmas Bracelet recalls the phrase made popular by the movie It’s a Wonderful Life: “Every time a bell chimes, an angel gets their wings.” Polymer clay and crystal beads are accented with an angel wing charm and a jingle bell. The Believe Christmas Positivity Bracelet Set consists of a set of three “pass it on” bracelets. Each stretch-style bracelet has a tiny jingle bell and has the word “believe” engraved on the tube bead. “It’s a special time of year, and a little sparkle always adds some fun!” said Beth Lang, company president. “We hope that our customers love these new pieces as much as we do, and that anyone who wears them will capture the angel spirit that inspired their design.” See Alexa’s Angels offerings at www.alexas-angels.com. |
