Walt Disney Collectibles - Unique and Special Gifts for Disney Lovers of All Ages

This post is sponsored by my friends at The Bradford Exchange Online - Walt Disney Collectibles

Did you know that 1 in 3 people are a Disney fanatic?

Ok - I just made that up. But I'm pretty sure it's true.

We all have one of those Walt Disney World lovers who is near and dear to our hearts. You know the kind - the true, die-hard, Pixie Dust sprinkling, Princess obsessed, "Maps are for Rookies", FastPass+ aficionado, named their first born "Walt" and second born "Mickey" - people? The ones who eat, breathe and LOVE Walt Disney? Well I have found the place (other than Walt Disney World itself) that will make their Disney-loving hearts skip a beat. An online store that houses the best Walt Disney collectibles compared to any other site online. The Bradford Exchange's Walt Disney Collectibles section is a Disney-lovers dream - and the perfect place to shop for gifts for the Disney-lover in your life.

Here are a few of my personal favs that I think are beyond adorable for any Walt Disney collector:

Baby Shower Invitation Wording and Baby Sprinkle Wording Ideas for Gift Suggestions

As many of you know, I have a line of custom Baby Shower and Baby Sprinkle invitations on my Sweet Leigh Mama Etsy Shop. One of the top questions I get each day from my customers is, "How should I word this?" or "The mom-to-be only wants gift cards - how can I put that without being tacky?" or "This is the second (or third, fourth...) child, so they'd really just like diapers and wipes - how can I say that on the invite?" I've developed a few cute rhymes and poems to include on Baby Shower invitations to pass along the mom-to-be's wishes without throwing etiquette completely out the window : )

But before all that, here's some advice I give to all my customers: there's no need to dance around the issue of gifts. If someone is coming to the baby shower or baby sprinkle, they WANT to bring a gift to the mom-to-be and precious baby. And they want to give the mom-to-be to something USEFUL - whether that be a Diaper Genie off the registry, diapers and wipes, or a gift card, if that's what the family needs to prepare for the baby's arrival. So communicating the mom-to-be's wishes regarding gifts isn't rude - it's your job as a host, and guests will feel good knowing they brought something the mom-to-be WANTS and NEEDS : ) If a guest finds it offensive, they can stay home and stick their nose in an Emily Post biography. Just saying...

Now, on to the ways to word gift requests and the mom-to-be's wishes on a Baby Shower or Baby Sprinkle invitation:

And help create the baby's special reading nook.

Disney Princess Artwork for Your Little Princess - Perfect for Your Daughter's Bedroom or Playroom

Paige is officially a Disney Princess addict. I'm revamping her room a bit, and wanted to create something Princess-like, but I wasn't wild about the Disney Princess posters currently available. So I decided to use this precious Disney Princess clipart and feature all the Disney Princesses since the very beginning through today. All of them are there: Snow White, Cinderella, Tinkerbell (who I know isn't technically a "princess", but I just couldn't leave her out!), Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida, Sofia (our favorite little Disney Junior Princess!) and of course - Anna and Elsa from Frozen.

You can purchase this Disney Princess print (unframed) in my Etsy shop - Sweet Leigh Mama.
