We just ordered our collection of Pur cashmere scarves for the season. Before they arrived we had to call our rep., and send our courier downtown to  the L.A. Mart to pick one up. Last Thursday one of the talent agencies called to order a cashmere scarf for their client that was starting a film in Alaska on Monday. We sent off a yummy –sand- colored scarf packaged in a masculine fabric box for delivery last  Saturday.

A new client called on Tuesday to order a thank you basket; he was referred by the concierge desk at the Beverly Hills Peninsula Hotel.  He had just had 1900 hairs transplanted from the back of his head to the front and he wanted to thank the doctor’s office for doing such a great job.  Can you imagine?  The procedure took over eight hours?  The patient was awake the entire time and heard the doctor asking his assistant for each of the 1900 hairs. Our client had flown in for the treatment, felt great and was flying home the next day.  He called us from the airport, checking to see if his thank you basket with Starbucks coffee, fresh bakery, candy and healthy snacks had been delivered. I hope the doctor and his assistant were gellin’.

It’s a secret… Star Treatment includes books (we have favorites) in many of our baby baskets. You can even order a basket just with books. As children grow and toys come and go – books always manage to survive and get tucked away in boxes for future generations.  It’s never too early to start reading stories to babies and toddlers. It is the perfect time-out activity when settling down to sleep. It won’t eliminate the need for that final glass of water or going to the bathroom but it can make bedtime more fun for everyone.  Doreen Cronin and Harry Bliss collaborate in telling the story Diary of a Worm. Sweet dreams.

Pete the Cat – I Love My White Shoes

How fun it this? A guitar strumming, song-singing, banjo picking story teller will delight your first or second grader with tales of Pete the Cat walking down the street wearing his brand new white shoes through strawberries, blueberries and other messes. Give your little darlings a wonderful book.  Star Treatment has a delightful selection of children’s books. We really like this book from the Harper Collins children’s collection.

Gifts for students young and old.
Parents…now that everybody is back in school…
Pre-school – kindergarten – middle-school – high-school – college….your job as parent is just beginning.
That first day… and the weeks that follow can be scary, challenging, humdrum or joyous…it all depends.
Just because there are new pencils, clothes and backpacks do not guarantee that the first day or the first few weeks will be without trauma. A friend of mine has a gran-daughter that was so overwhelmed on her first day at kindergarten she left the school yard to head home.  Poor baby…she to the surprise of her mom arrived home in a police car.  Not a day that will ever be forgotten by Kelly or her family. Love is the first gift to deliver, and then a little surprise in a lunch-box or some fun gift for Kelly when she comes home from school will help make everything easier.
In the lunch box a paper heart that says I love you, for a little boy a special cookie with happy-face icing.

Remember, getting a gift makes us feel special. What better time than now?

Thank you for visiting.  Be pampered like the stars with a gift basket from www.startreatment.com!
