Wedding Cake Topper

As some of you may already know or be experiencing, preparing for a wedding is both enjoyable and stressful all rolled into 1 ball. It’s preparing for one of the biggest days of your life and will be the start of spending the rest of your life with someone. Importance is high and your hearts are filled with love. Along with the importance level though, it can be very easy to lose yourself in the stress and maintenance involved to make this very important day also one of the most special days. Sometimes it is important to take a step back and re-evaluate the little things to make them less complicated than they need to be.

One of the simplest things I have found that can be one of the most complicated is a wedding cake topper! Yes, this simple little piece that aside from you and the groom EVERYONE will look at. You want things to be elegant on your wedding day and trust me, do not want to spend so much time on such a little item. Here is a question that is asked a lot, how much is a personalized cake topper? Depending on what you want can be expensive and may not fit every wedding budget.

So, why not keep this option of personalization and cost friendly? Laser engraved crystal may be the best option for you! Just like the 2 of you it will also sparkle and shine. Compared to other wedding cake toppers this idea is relatively low in cost and simple to order making it stress free. At Goodcount  they leave it simple for you to upload your favorite picture and add a couple lines of text if you would like.

Unlike other cake toppers this bad boy can also be placed around the house as a decoration piece. Then you’ll have a little memorial piece not only of your wedding day and one of the biggest moments together as a couple but remember the funny stories about your crazy aunt or that one thing that you cannot believe happened. It’s funny how things always seem to work out and at Goodcount they have your cake topper covered!

Happy Easter

This year for Easter is seems more and more popular to give gifts that are not candy related or limited on the amount of sugar and chocolate. We have spent some time looking at some of the new and creative ideas that mothers are doing to create a fun Easter for the kiddos without having to deal with the sugar high. Most moms and dads are taking a DIY approach and are making the baskets educational and personalized for each child. We think that these ideas are very clever and want to share some of the ideas that we learned along the way. The items on this list may not be for all ages but we are excited to share them with you, we know at least half or more of the items could be used for older or younger children!

For the DIY’ers out there we have found that homemade play dough and sidewalk chalk are very popular, inexpensive items that can be made using things you may already have at home. We noticed that a lot of patents took the non-toxic and natural (in some cases even edible) recipes to create these fun filled ideas! Now, we don’t suggest eating the edible ones but we suppose kids will be kids and this is probably why this option is so popular especially if you have very young children.

For the older kids we see that a lot of parents like getting personalized items. Example, if you have a teen girl mothers are putting nail polishes in plastic eggs. For boys you could be putting personalized keychains with a picture and name engraved. The keychains would be a good gift for either gender we think. We personally think that personalized ideas are the best gifts to give on this list. Although homemade items may be fun to create and make, personalized items are more meaningful and may last longer or forever. For example, the play dough that you may make will eventually dry up and will no longer be able to be used. However, the personalized key chain will always be able to be hung from your keys or various places to remind you of something or someone special. Even better, at Goodcount you can order these very quickly online and select to have your picture turned into 3D. This will be the Easter gift not to forget!

10 items every graduate will need for college

When going off to college you will need several things. However we have narrowed down a list to some important items of 10 to help. Of course we thing bringing all of the common items are just as important as any! The items on this list may be things you probably won’t think about but will make your dorm stay easier and feel a little more at home without dragging you down.

First item on the list is a very important vitamin, B-12. This vitamin is the perfect natural energy source that will not keep you awake or give you the jitters and will help with digestion. Second item on the list is also an energy source, single cup Keurig. This single cup design will help you save on space and will help you after a long day of studying when you need more than vitamins! This brings me to item number three on the list. Of course you want to stay healthy and hydrated. Don’t forget to grab a Brita pitcher so that you are able to filter the water at your dorm and save on space that a case of water would consume.

Now that your health items are in check this brings me to another group of items on the list. Number four on the list is a 6ft phone charger. No joke, some of these dorms only have a limited supply of outlets and you will surely need the additional length to reach your bedside. Fifth item on your list will be your handy tablet! Of course you will have your computer with you. But tablets make reading books, digital text books and note taking much easier. Not to mention they weigh less. As far as important electronic items go, you wouldn’t want to forget item number six, a fan. Yes, a fan! Some dorm rooms may not have A/C or a nice breeze to push some fresh air into your room. This item may be number six but very important.

Then we have some important items that you may need and not even consider until you need it most. Item number seven, first aid kit. It is always nice knowing you will have a Band-Aid for a paper cut or any other small injury you may get. You may also find item number eight as important. A tool kit, is very handy! You never know when something will come up and you will need to easily repair something. Let’s face it, things happen in life and it’s always good to be prepared. Speaking of being prepared, plastic storage bins fall into our item number nine. Storage bins are great and can slide under the bed for shoes, supplies or additional clothing.

This leads me to number ten on the list. We believe in saving the best for last as we find it one of the most important items on this list. A memorial item, or a piece of remembrance of home. Don’t forget home, we know you’ll be busy meeting a ton of new friends and studying non-stop… But you never want to forget about home and the ones who love and support you and your journey through college. Family can be one of the most encouraging through this time. Remember to take something that is durable, remember you are in a dorm and anything is possible! We suggest going to goodcount for a laser engraved portrait of your family and friends from home. Laser engraved crystals will last forever and the image will not fade and if something spills it will not be ruined. This item will be seen and comfort you every day while you are away. This item might be as handy as your tablet!

St. Patrick's Day

It seems like year after year we default fall to sweets for any holiday. Sweets may be nice however, they do not have to apply to every holiday. Sweets can be gobbled up and are unhealthy with many health side effects over time. It seems that when we log into our Pinterest accounts we see a ton of ideas on what sort of cookie or homemade candy ideas to put together. Although these ideas are real “sweet” perhaps trying something different. St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner. Although this holiday may be small and simple it’s also fun! Why not consider a personalized gift instead of spending a ton of time sorting candy coated chocolates to create a rainbow.

At Goodcount they can offer you a wide variety of crystal products that can be transformed into 2D or 3D. Giving a 3D laser engraved rainbow with a pot of gold or shamrock seems like a much more exciting gift and is more unique! Goodcount also offers multi-colored lighted bases. So, instead of picking through candy this lighted base will light up your crystal in all of the rainbow colors and save you time.

Giving a laser engraved crystal will not only save you time and a sugar rush. Unlike candies laser engraved crystals will last forever. These items can be displayed all year long or be put out year after year to be enjoyed and share the luck with others. Also, with personalization each year the person why received this very thoughtful gift will remember who gave it to them and the year they were given this gift. This may be the perfect gift to give someone who can use a little luck in life and as a positive token to remember it by. Goodcount will be sure to over you with a positive experience to help make your St. Patrick’s Day Gift a good one!

Shopping for Valentine’s Day

Ladies, I know shopping for your man for Valentine’s Day can be tough! The struggle may be that well it seems like a holiday meant for women. However, that idea is wrong! Valentine’s Day is meant to show your love and appreciation for the person you care about. Unlike most holidays this holiday is more sentimental. Getting your man a card may not be for everyone or perhaps you want something a little more than that this year. Don’t worry, ladies! At goodcount you can get your man a personalized laser engraved crystal that will last forever and be more unique than a card. Also, unlike a card this laser engraved crystal will last forever and do not need to worry about it getting lost under a stack of papers at the bottom of a drawer.

Getting your man a 3D laser engraved crystal will make a statement of the love and affection you have for him. You can even include your personalized note under the picture to make sure he knows how special he is to you. These crystals are of high quality and very classy. Even if he is not a flashy kind of guy these are still simple enough to match any surrounding they are in.
