Custom Themed Thank You Gifts for Corporate & Personal Gifting

We’ve been posting about Claudia’s community service efforts for San Diego’s recent Jewel Ball fundraising event. In addition to Claudia’s long hours of preparation, our team was working hard here at the shop! We created stunning and impressive custom themed thank you gifts for the big event!

These brilliant keepsake thank you gifts arrived in style!

Our chunky hand painted photo frames coordinated perfectly with this year’s Silk and Spice theme! We selected the photo frames in perfectly matching rich hues of orange, pink and green. Each one was then packaged with materials inspired by the event’s “Passage to India” look and feel. We encircled each gift in alternating sheer organza and mesh wraps and completed the arrangement with our signature luxurious hand-tied bows and custom printed ribbon!  For added personalization, we created custom coordinating printed inserts for each photo frame! The perfect finishing touch!

These unique thank you gifts provide the ideal keepsake for a photo memento of the 2009 Jewel Ball!  Ball Chairwoman Jennifer Greenfield was delighted with our custom gift collection!
My sincerest thanks to you and EXCLAMATIONS!! I loved the frames and the beautiful wrapping…It made me so happy to see the delivery at my home last evening. Claudia has been so gracious and generous with this purchase. You are wonderful to do business with!
-Jennifer

We are now creating a new collection of gifts, party favors and event centerpieces for an upcoming corporate wine themed event as well as a golf inspired birthday party!
Let us make your next corporate or personal event easy & memorable with our endless selection of unique and creative gift ideas!

 The 63rd Annual Las Patronas Jewel Ball – San Diego’s Most Prestigious Social Event!

The 63rd Annual Las Patronas Jewel Ball – San Diego's Most Prestigious Social Event

 

At EXCLAMATIONS!, we prioritize the “art of giving” in the community because investing in others enriches our own lives. We are honored to partner with dozens of non-profit organizations throughout San Diego and beyond.

Claudia Johnson, President of EXCLAMATIONS! is a proud & active member of San Diego’s Las Patronas.

Through a thoughtful grant process, Las Patronas funds critically needed capital items to organizations providing a wide spectrum of social, medical, cultural and environmental services that encompass every corner of San Diego County.

Since 1946, the all-volunteer philanthropic organization has donated more than $12 million to more than a thousand charitable institutions in San Diego.

Members of Las Patronas raise all of the funds that they grant through the annual Jewel Ball in August at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. The Jewel Ball is San Diego’s most prestigious social event and a cherished tradition for the many long-time guests.

This year’s 63^rd Annual Jewel Ball, Silk & Spice, is Saturday, August 8, 2009, and it certainly promises to be an event to remember!

In preparation for this spectacular celebration, Claudia is busy wrapping up an exciting and tiring week of extra long days jam-packed with hard work for Las Patronas’ annual Jewel Ball Work Week.  This week of “creating” the Jewel Ball includes building, painting, decorating, instructing, moving, engineering, lifting, delegating and accenting in order to give the Beach Club a temporary “Extreme Makeover” into a true fantasyland each year.

When the doors open at 7pm tomorrow night – the sense of achievement is certainly overwhelming and absolutely rewarding!

Make sure to visit our San Diego Gift Basket Blog next week when we showcase pictures from the Jewel Ball and the fantastic “Silk & Spice” themed gift collection we created for this incredible event!
