Anne Taintor makes Vintage Modern! (A Giveaway!)
I could look through the products at Anne Taintor all day! Hailed as “The Original Vintage Humor Company”, their snarky products do not disappoint! These are the kinds of products I wish I had known about a couple of years ago, because I have friends who would have LOVED them! I still do, and I think that they will not only make fantastic stocking stuffers, but also great girlfriend gifts — perfect for Secret Santa or gift exchanges! I have a couple of things from there, so let me highlight some of my favorites! Best of all, everything on the site is very affordable!
We are a family of travelers, so I chose this passport cover that says “High Maintenance doesn’t begin to cover it.” When it arrived, hubby just grunted and said “Boy is that true.” (Disclaimer: He knew this before he married me!)
I also chose this ID holder that says “Of course it buys happiness!” Oh how i love it! :) My sister in law used to have a sign that said “All I’m asking for is the chance to prove that it doesn’t buy happiness” and this reminded me of that, so I immediately liked it! (I was thisclose to choosing the one that said “Domestically Disabled”)
I also really like their purse-sized emery boards — the “Stop me before I volunteer again” is SO me. I say yes to too many things! Plus, I love that these are small enough to keep in your purse all of the time, because you always need an emery board at the most inconvenient times!
Win it! Anne Taintor has graciously offered the chance for one lucky Chic Shopper Chick reader to win a $50 dollars worth of products from their site, to be chosen at the end of the contest!

What a fun site, I have put it in my Favorites for looking at again and possibly ordering Christmas Gifts. Thanks for sharing it with us. I had two favorites one was the “I dreamed my whole house was clean” I would love that in a key ring, the second being
“stop me before I volunteer again”, in an ID case. Both are ME!

Needed to start looking for Christmas cards and I thought the one that says “now was probably not the best time to tell the kids they were Jewish” was hysterical. All the cards are great though and are not your ordinary boring card.

I almost peed my pants! I love so many of them, from “Say it with carbohyydrates” to “Because I’m the mother that’s why” just too true and too funny. I agree, the minni emory boards are really a good idea, but I also like the sticky notes, so I could share the fun.
