Lillian Vernon – Save up to 85%

I’ve always loved looking through these catalogs. Usually, they’re more expensive than what I want to pay, but they’re full of great ideas. I have ordered some of the personalized things when they go on sale, and the quality is decent. So when there’s a big sale, I’m on it. Right now, Lillian Vernon is clearancing their warehouses.

More on Baby Announcements and Candy Bar Wrappers

Posted on by

Once you’ve decided to start a candy bar wrapper business, there are a few things you will need. Stock up on pink, blue and white paper, especially when it’s on sale. Some people will ask for a specific color paper while others will prefer white paper with colored writing and graphics. Try charging slightly more for the use of white paper with colored ink.

Scissors may not work well for every cut, so you may need a penknife for some of the cuts. Be sure to place wood, heavy … Continue reading →
