be shopping. We feel that we have the perfect kind of gifts – practical, beautiful and unique. Well, we are happily busy filling orders.
Fibonacci sequence earrings!
We are seeing that our math and science designs are doing well, as is the vampire design – thanks to all the Twilight fans! We are seeing lot’s of sharks and squirrels, too. Things we are getting low on are the stockbroker design, the fashion design and sewing- so people have really been buying based on their hobbies and professions.
Frosty beer pill box.
We have had fun seeing what people have been using the alcohol and caffeine molecular designs for! Our new double designs are becoming popular and it is great fun trying to decipher the meanings – we had one that appears to have been for a DUI attorney!
Sports remain very popular. Lacrosse, rowing and our new athletic shoe are almost as popular as the swimming design. There are also a LOT of ballroom dance fans ordering.
Round interlinking hearts pill box
The one that we have sold out is our interlocking hearts – so Kyle is gearing up and we will have plenty of that design in time for Valentine’s Day!

HOLIDAY BAKING – COOKIES vs CUPCAKES
Round cupcake pill box.
I was reading in the paper that a cupcake only bakery in LA has been going after other cupcake bakeries for infringing on their name and polka-dot motif – good thing our little cupcake design isn’t all about the sprinkles! Cupcakes are very in. There are cupcake cookbooks, jewelry and giant

Lot’s of people love to bake and cupcakes offer up a lot of opportunities for creativity. Plus, who doesn’t love a little portion controlled sweetness?

This time of year baking becomes an obsession for many. My daughter is testing cookie recipes for her holiday give-away plates. I have been asked to share a recipe in an online cookie exchange.
I have never been able to master candy making, but I am a cookie making machine during the holidays. this year, though, I may jump into the cupcake frenzy.

START YOUR HOLIDAY SHOPPING
In mid-October when people talk about the holidays coming up they are usually referring to Halloween. But at Kyle Design and many other retail businesses – we are talking Christmas. We start talking about it in August. We start getting ready in September. By October our shelves are bursting with inventory and Kyle’s invoice pile gets sky high.
We notice that we sell a lot of our “home improvement” products during the months leading up to Thanksgiving, and then that business drops like a stone! Everyone shifts from fixing up the house for company to gift shopping.
At this point in the preparations we are printing everything we think we might need between now and January. Our production ladies are snipping all the metal designs, filing rough edges, putting labels on products and all the time consuming work normally done on a day to day basis. We make stacks of gift boxes and pre-bag our little protective pouches and talk strategy for dealing with double our normal shipping volume.
Then we hope we didn’t prepare for a party of 500 and have only 5 show up!
For myself, I still don’t like to see the Christmas stuff in the stores in August. But I don’t mind the avalanche of catalogs in the mail because I start shopping online in October. I really try to be pretty much done by Thanksgiving because after that we are working
long, long hours and I am too tired to think at the end of the day. I start picking up little things – stocking stuffers and the like, in the summer. I like to have little things, reflective of the year to give.
And of course – something from Kyle Design for everyone!
