Everything's Cooking

Update #5 · Feb 2, 2012 · 4 comments

Hi Friends,

Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop with some exciting updates about the project. Since reaching our funding, we've been hard at work on a few different aspects of Gift Couture.

First off: We've been building and testing our online store. By hitting our Kickstarter numbers we have the funding needed to build and host a completely secure, super-easy-to-use store that will supply our Cheeseburger Set as well as all new, secret, never before seen sets. It'll be available before long on GiftCouture.com, and we'll be notifying everyone once it's up and running!

Second: After an incredibly thorough process of speaking with, reviewing samples, and getting to know vendors from all over the country, we're excited to announce all Gift Couture papers will be printed in beautiful Boulder, Colorado! It was really important to us that we didn't skimp on quality, or be lured by less expensive foreign vendors. Our new friends at D&K Printing blew the competition away, and we're proud to work with them. You should check out all the good work they're doing, on their blog  http://printdk.blogspot.com/. Not to mention they are super environmentally consious, one of the top family-owned business in Boulder, and all around nice people. Everything is printing as we speak and, just as we planned, on course to ship by the end of February.

Third: Because of your blog posts, tweets, and sharing, we've been lucky enough to have been contacted by some pretty incredible organizations and publications about our journey with this project. We'll keep you in the loop, but we're pretty excited for some big opportunities that are right around the corner.

Thanks again for making all of this possible. We can't express how encouraging and inspring the whole process has been. We'll post here for milestone updates, and smaller ones on our twitter @Gift_Couture.

Chat again soon,

Sarah & Justin

      hey there! I just clicked the link above to the store (2nd paragraph) and it seems like there is a "," at the end and gives an error when the page loads - just FYI to fix
