Cool new products and news

Hello!  The Fort Myers location is coming up on its one year anniversary, so keep checking the blog, Facebook and the website for info!

The new Scout bag patterns will be arriving later this month so we are clearing out the few remaining discontinued patterns that we have - get them while they last because once they're gone, they're gone forever!

Our cool new product of the day is the illuminated lower case letter - available in a variety of colors, its a great for kids who don't want to sleep in the dark or for those groovy kids who want to dress up their rooms! 

REMINDER!!!  Preppy In Paradise will be Closing early on Wednesday, November 24 - 2 PM folks!  We will also be closed Thursday for the Thanksgiving holiday.  We will resume normal business hours on Friday, November 26th. 

HOW many days until Christmas??!!!

Hello everyone!  We are thick in the middle of holiday orders now - so our production time will go from 1-2 days to 1-2 weeks!  Also, we probably wont be working until Christmas Eve this year!  Watch the website, in-store postings and this blog for holiday closing dates as well as the final day to order things!

If you need help deciding on gifts for those hard to buy for people on your list we are always here with some good ideas!  Don't forget about your children's teachers and the other people in your life who help your day go smoothly!

New in the store:  Nam's Bits - those tasty little chocolate chip cookies and festive candies that are packaged adorably and at every price point.  No, we can't monogram them, but we always loved them when Swoozies had them and we know everyone needs stocking stuffers and quick grag and go things, so, here they are!

We have a lot of other new things, but you'll just have to stop in and visit to find out what they are!

Whats new!

Cute new bags!

I simply cannot believe how the summer has just drifted away from us - and that we are celebrating our 6 month anniversary in the new shop!  So many changes is such a little bit of time - and all of them great.  We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we have the greatest customers - and we really appreciate each and every one of you!  These last six months have brought many new customers into our little family and we hope everyone will be happy with the new products we are bringing in. 

This fall watch for a new line of affordable and stylish bags, holiday items, collegiate items, oh, the list goes on!  In fact, we're out of space, so we are pleased to announce that we are expanding!  We looked back at the last few months and thought about what we need to do to serve our customers better and get us ALL through the upcoming holiday season and none of it can be done without some more square footage!  and low and behold, there just happened to be some next door!  What does it mean for you - just that you'll be able to browse in comfort and enjoy our increased efficiency!

From engraved soap to sterling silver jewelry!

We are always looking for unique things for our customers to order as gifts - or for themselves!  In addition to the great engraved silver jewelry we are now offereing cufflinks, money clips and engraved acrylic housewares!  Everything is the highest quality as usual and you will be proud to wear it yourself - or give it as a gift.  Stop in to see all of the exciting new engraved things!

What do you get for the person who has everything?  Monogrammed soap of course!  Featured on Opraph's O-List, tis is the most exquisitely carved fresh soaps in a variety of scents, styles and boxed sets - and this is a luxury gift that everyone can afford!  You can get a name, monogram, initial EVEN a logo!  We can also do collegiate and Greek soaps!  The possibilities are endless and we know you'll be impressed.  This is a family-owned, made in the USA product and we can't wait for you to experience it!

We are planning on opening Saturdays to accomodate those customers who can't make it in during the week, so watch for the change in our business hours.  Thank you, to all of our loyal customers.  We will be starting our customer loyalty program in the coming month which will allow customers to accrue preppy points resulting in cash discounts!  Everyone has been so supportive and we are excited with how well the new shop has been received.  A special thank you to our great customers for being so patient as we have had to figure out how everything works and where everything goes!  It's a work in progress but we're having fun!  Right?!
