Hello there sweeties! I am sad to say but this may be my last post here on All Things Cupcake. I have loved working here at ATC but we are currently having some issues and I may not be on the payroll anymore. So after almost 4 years here, I am going to do what I always wanted to do- I am going to make a post about my own cupcake stuff in my Etsy shop!  It is called StayHomeCupcake and it is full sweets and treats.   I have a passion for crafts and sweet crafts are my utmost love!

So stay in touch cupcake fans! Find me (StayHomeCupcake) on Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter.  Thanks for the past 4 years!

Easter is just 10 days away, which means if you haven’t started getting your Easter baskets ready it is time you start.  Or you could just buy this Sweets in Bloom Easter Cupcake from Walmart for $26.99.  The ceramic keepsake cupcake container is filled with Peeps, Jelly Beans, SweetTarts, Dum Dums and more making it a fun gift for children or adults.

Now’s the time to start thinking about what you will be getting your Valentine for Valentine’s Day! Valentine’s Day is just over three weeks away and you need time for anything purchased online to be shipped!  I think this Cara Accessories Cupcake Smartphone Charm would make a great gift.  It’s available on Nordstrom’s website for $18.00.

I love the bright colors of these Williams-Sonoma Cupcake boxes.  The set of four, which includes one box in each color, is only $14.95.  Each box holds six cupcakes and the colors of the boxes are sure to brighten any dark winter day!

Usually cupcakes are girly but in this cake this cupcake tea towel is a criminal! The $22.00 tea towel from Down That Little Lane features a cupcake with a moustache and an eye patch.

So did you get everything on your list this year? If you had cupcake items on your list then UK based Ditsy Daisies is the place to find them.  Longtime All Things Cupcake friend and sponsor has some of the cutest and most uniquely sweet items.  Here are a few or my favorites and FYI, they take Paypal and ship to the US too!

Cappuccino Cup & Saucer

And did you know that Ditsy Daisies has much, much more than cupcakes?  Clocks, magnets, tins, coasters, dolls, stationery, books, soaps, cake stands, towels, pillowcases, pens, oven mitts and so much more.   Make sure to visit their site and take a look around!

I just found this cute cupcake kit at Kmart. Will someone please buy it for me? ‘Tis not the season to spend money on myself!

If you’re looking for a little something to add to a stocking or to dress up your gift packaging, how about one of these cupcake ornaments from Sur La Table.  The ornaments come in pink or brown and are $9.06 each.  If you have a desserts or sweets themed tree they also have pink, green, and purple macarons, cream puffs, ice cream bars, cannolis, and more!

Do you give calendars as gifts? I think giving a calendar is a great idea, everyone needs one, and they are great for gifts swaps!  I, of course, like this Sprinkle in Time 2013 Cupcake Desk Calendar.  The calendar is $11.99 on the Mod Cloth website, which as usual has lots of great cupcake items!

I love gifts where the packaging is part of the gift.  These DIY cupcake candy jars would make great gifts this holiday season and are fun way to jazz up your packaging!  I think I would make toffee bark to put inside these little jars, what would you fill them with?  For instructions and more picture visit Club Chica Circle’s website.

Looking for some stocking stuffers for cupcake lovers? As usual, Johnny Cupcakes does not disappoint. Johnny Cupcake cupcake pins are only $0.99 each or you can splurge and get a pack of 6 for $4.99. The panda’s my fave. What’s yours?

If you’re looking for a holiday gift for a guy in your life that shares your cupcake obsession I think this black crossbones tie by Johnny Cupcakes would make a great gift!  I like the subtle cupcakes that don’t jump out at you and that the tie is only $14.99 and if you buy it by November 26 you can save 20% on your order by using the code “Cupflakes” at checkout.

Our mailbox is overflowing with holiday catalogs  and when yesterday’s mail arrived I flipped through the Levenger catalog.   While looking at the catalog I noticed Pocquettes Cupcake Coin Purse for $39.00. It’s a small leather coin purse that has a hook so it can be clipped into a bag.

I did a little pre-black friday shopping over the weekend and I was amazed at how many cupcake items Kohls had for the holidays.  In the juniors sections I spotted the cupcake convertible gloves, shown above, for $6.99.

If you are looking for festive decorations there is a cupcake nutcracker for only $11.25.  And there are several cupcake ornaments to choose from that are very affordable at $3.15 each.  With black friday deals and coupons these items will be even cheaper!

Is it too early to be thinking about christmas ornaments?  Years ago my sister got one of these s’more ornaments.  I think this s’more cupcake ornament would be a nice addition to our tree, especially since it’s only $5.99!

Looking for a little stocking stuffer? How about these Cupcake Magnets from Land of Nod?  The set of four costs $5.95 and features four different cupcakes, my favorite is the cupcake with glasses!

I am always on the lookout for good gift ideas for my friends and family.  I came across this Coffee, Cupcakes, Wine t-shirt and know it would be perfect for some of my friends that love all three! This shirt sounds like the perfect foods to enjoy on a lazy sunday! The shirt costs $30.99 from Skreened and is available in several different colors.

Are you in the market for a new mousepad? If you click this link, you may be! I couldn’t believe how many cupcake mousepad options are available at Zazzle! Here are just a few of the options:

Who doesn’t want to drift off to sweet dreams atop a personalized cupcake pillowcase? This snazzy pillowcase is available from Etsy seller The Trendy Butterfly for $20 plus shipping. The image is printed on the pillowcase, which is wash and dry friendly! And there’s a discount if you buy three or more! Happy shopping!

Edible Arrangements now has a cupcake collection!  Ranging from $55-$93, and available in small, medium or large sizes; the arrangements feature cupcake-the traditional fruits, strawberries, cantaloupe, honeydew, and grapes in addition to cupcake shaped pineapple dipped in white and semisweet chocolate.

I am always looking for packaging for cupcakes that I bake as gifts.  It’s not just about how good your cupcake looks and tastes but also what the cupcake is presented in or on.  These small bird house cupcake boxes from Meri Meri are right up my alley! The single cupcake box cost $8.50 and are perfect for giving a cupcake along with a little note.

How lovely is this sweet bakery mobile from Gifts Define?  I love the strawberry cupcake and the birthday cake with a candle.  While it is a little pricey at $135.00, I think it would make a lovely gift for a new born baby!

I know by now everyone’s see the commercials for Snuggies but have you seen the cupcake Snuggie? Called the cupcake booty buddy and available from Urban Outfitters, this oversized poncho is $89.00.  Remember those cold winter holidays are coming if you need a gift for a loved one.

With the school year winding down to an end, many of us are looking for that perfect teacher gift.  Take a look at this way adorable Cupcake Teacher’s Ornament by All Things Cupcake sponsor, Amy Miller Designs.  I know it isn’t Christmas but stay with me! How perfect would this cupcake look with a bookstore or bakery gift card attached to it? As a former teacher, I can honestly say I would love it!  And to top it off, Amy Miller Designs, will personalize this cupcake for your favorite teacher.   To cool for school!

I know that the next holiday is Mother’s Day so I should be thinking of my mom before I start thinking about Father’s Day but I spotted this cupcake print tie from Ferramago on the Selfridges & Co website and now I’m wondering what I’ll give my dad this year.   I know my dad would never wear a cupcake tie, which is a good thing because he wouldn’t want this tie that costs £115.00!  It’s still a fun idea and I’m sure somewhere out there there’s a dad that would wear a cupcake print tie.
