Where in the USA are the Surfing Turtles today??


Have you been following the Surfing Turtles on their tour across the U.S.A?? 
Our product is packed in the U.S.A - and in honor of the U.S.A the Surfing Turtles have decided to go out on tour! Every day they will be in a new city somewhere in the country. Keep an eye out, they may be visiting a location near you! So far this week they've visited the Space Needle in Seattle, WA, Disneyland in Anaheim, CA, and the Grand Canyon in AZ - where will they be today? Stay updated on the tour on Facebook and Twitter, and if you are the first guess where the Turtles are you could be mentioned on Twitter.

Keep checking back to track their progress!

Holiday Contest!

Attention to all of you gift basket entrepreneurs out there! (Or any creative person for that matter!)

Because our last contest was such a success we're having a new contest especially for the holidays!!! On December 12 we will feature the top three gift baskets that highlight our product, so people can see your baskets right before the Holidays and remember to purchase them from you!

Here's the project: Take our candy bags and incorporate them into your basket designs. Feel free to use already existing designs of yours, or create entirely new ideas. All we are looking for is the perfect merging of our bags and your product. For the best entries, we encourage you to include pictures of our product in your basket. To purchase, visit us at www.surfingturtles.com or give us a call at 1.866.398.7103.

We know how busy you are, so we will be accepting entries until December 9. Winners baskets will be featured on our blog with an image of your basket, along with your company name and links to your website/online store, and a little blurb about your company.

To enter, send the following information to surfingturtlesgourmet@gmail.com:

Company/Artist Name:
Basket's Title:
Your Website/Online Store/Locations where people can purchase your basket
Featured Item from our line:
A Photograph of your basket
Any other notable information that you feel we should know about your baskets.

Also! You are not limited to one entry! Enter as many times as you like, as long as each basket is a new idea!

So hurry! You have a little less than a month :) Can't wait to see what all of you have up your sleeves!

....

If you aren't able to order at this time, let us know and send your basket idea along anyway!

Our Bows are like Snowflakes!

Here in Maryland we had an early sneak peak of some snowflakes before Halloween! But finally it's November, the time for snow....and Christmas Candy! Our candy bags are like snowflakes... No two are exactly alike. This is because when we receive your order your candy has to be packed, sealed, and hand tied before we can send your order.

So let’s talk about the bows. Have you received a shipment of our candy and seen our bows? For the past few weeks the elves have been feverishly tying bows, each elf doing several hundred a day! 

Some of our bows are pre-tied and simply need to be knotted on, but many of them are hand crafted, that is why every bow is a little different than the last. All our bow tyers have their own styles and their methods of tying.


Needless to say, Christmas has been quite an adventure with thousands and thousands of Christmas bows to tie – not to mention bows for Dog Treats, Everyday, Team Spirit and Animal Fun orders which are constantly coming in......Business is great, thanks to all of you!



Now, we’d like to offer you a limited time special! Place your Valentine’s Day and/or Easter order before December 30 and we will give you 5% off of your entire order, just make sure you put somewhere on your order the promo code: VE2012.




Thank you all for a great holiday season! Just a reminder, we are still taking re-orders for Christmas up until the second week of December!
