Mountain Mommas

January 16, 2012 By Rachel 1 Comment

One of my favorite things about working at My Own Labels is seeing some of the great ideas our customers come up with. Recently, a coworker showed me a recent coaster order. They chose our Caption style featuring an amazing photo of a group of women wearing bright colored rain jackets in a Utah canyon. Both of us agreed it was a great photo and there had to be a great story behind it. So I contacted the customer, Kristin from Nashville, TN and was thrilled at her eagerness to share her story! We … [read more...]

The Giggle Girls

August 29, 2011 By Rachel 2 Comments

I recently came across a customer order for The Giggle Girls wine labels and knew there was a great story behind it. So I contacted Susan from West Roxbury, Massachusetts and asked her about her order. She responded with this amazing story: "The Giggle Girls are a group of five lovely ladies who met at Revere Beach in 1948, and have been the best of friends ever since. Back when The Giggle Girls founded their 'club' the dues were 5 cents and their motto was "we need to eat". That was over … [read more...]

At My Own Labels, we love seeing unique ideas from our customers. I especially love this idea of sending Save-the-Date coasters for an upcoming wedding!

Ball & Chain Brew

After 15 years of marriage you have to have a sense of humor like Tami and her husband. As an anniversary gift, Tami and a few friends came up with the idea to give her husband a homemade "Ball and Chain Brew". A beer complete with a label of their wedding photo and even a few inside jokes. And to remember how far they have come in their 15 years of being blissfully shackled together they even turned their label into a magnet that they keep on their fridge! Whether it's friends, family, co-workers … [read more...]
