Indigo Furniture?s Fantastic Wedding Gift List Service

(PRWEB) January 26, 2012

Organised and managed by Indigo?s friendly and helpful sales staff, the Indigo Wedding Gift List is a great way to take a little bit of the stress away from the wedding planning while giving couples all the furniture they have ever wished for in their home.

It has been reported that nearly 90% of all Bride and Grooms now have a Wedding Gift List which is registered with a shop or department store. Planning a wedding gift list for most couples is one of the more exciting parts of the wedding planning process. It will probably be the only time in the couples life that they can put together a dream shopping list and let others pick up the tab.

Originating from the dowries that the Bride?s Father would give his future son in law for taking a daughter off his hands, wedding gift lists have now become more practical and are something that the Bride and Groom can plan together. Before it was common place for couples not to live together before getting married and wedding gift lists were filled with essential home items such as kettles, cutlery and steam irons.

Yet the trend has now changed and the majority of couples live together and set up their homes before getting married, meaning that many of these items are not needed. So instead couples are creating lists that are full of things they would never normally be able to buy, especially when saving to pay for a wedding.

Indigo Furniture design and hand build all of their furniture and create pieces which are built to last a lifetime making them the perfect investment pieces, especially when starting married life together. Every single piece has a 15 year guarantee and is made using only the very finest materials, such as plank wood from environmentally friendly forests in Canada and Oak which is grown and cut at a small family run sawmill on the Baltic coast.

Indigo build furniture for every single room in the home including large, solid wood beds built for having the perfect nights sleep to chunky farmhouse tables great for having dinner with friends and family as well as range of sumptuous leather sofas made from the very best hides of leather.

With all the choice of furniture that Indigo make letting guests donate however much they want to the wedding gift list is a great way for the couple to put all of the money together to buy items that they really want and need for their home. It is also a great way to buy something which is personal to them and will always be reminder of their special day.

The Indigo wedding Gift List service is easy to set up and just takes a quick phone call to the sales team who are based at the furniture designers headquarters in Matlock, Derbyshire. If you are getting married or know someone who is why not get in touch with Indigo Furniture or have a look at their website to see the furniture which could transform your home.

Mohair International Weaves Together Baby Mo and Hinterveld, Delivering More Fine Mohair Gift and Decor Items to AmericasMart in Atlanta

Boston, MA (PRWEB) January 13, 2012

Lindy Lieberman arrives at AmericasMart with more mohair decorating options than ever before by joining her hand-loomed South African items ? sold under the Baby Mo label (http://babymo-usa.com/index.htm) ? with four exclusive lines from Hinterveld, a renowned maker of yarns and woven goods. The combination is Mohair International, (http://www.mohairinternational.com) with offices outside Boston.

?Hinterveld?s forward looking designs include beautiful lustrous colors plus advanced manufacturing technology that delivers quality and quantity that means we can supply larger retail stores,? Lieberman says. ?Together, we bring a unique mix of textures ? the best yarns and weaving ? to create remarkable throws and blankets and a range of other items.?

The combination adds four new product ranges from Hinterveld (http://www.hinterveld.com), she adds, including bold stripes and subtle geometric patterns updated for contemporary living. Choose from vibrant contrasting colors, gentle earth tones and modern block and stripe patterns. One collection includes herringbone patterns in yarns that combine Merino Wool and superfine Kid (baby) Mohair (http://www.babymo-usa.com/html/about.htm). Some of these distinctive items add the convenience of being machine washable. They add creative comfort and style to indoor and outdoor use.

South Africa?s heritage and color palette are evident with pastels that reflect the region?s natural environment, hues from plants such as the fynbos play with deep chocolates. Designed for year-round use, these blankets and throws ?breathe? to keep your body cool in warmer weather and cozy insulating layers in winter.

Named for South Africa's grassy plains, Hinterveld is part of The Stucken Group, an international leader in mohair since 1951 and parent company of Mohair Spinners of South Africa (MSSA). The companies supply yarns to both Hinterveld and Baby Mo. Lieberman, a South African native, began importing mohair goods more than a decade ago for her successful interior design business, Lifestyle Living Spaces. She later started a company to distribute Baby Mo items to more than 100 North American shops and boutiques.

Kid mohair ? often called baby mohair (http://babymo-usa.com/about.htm) ? comes from the first shearing of Angora goats less than a year old. South Africa produces the majority of the world?s baby mohair and weaves it into soft, luxurious d?cor items, clothing and accessories. The results are lightweight, packable, wrinkle-free and uniquely warm. Lieberman?s repertoire include wraps, throws, blankets plus clothing, hats, mittens, scarves and more.

Baby Mo (http://babymo-usa.com) crafts handmade items with complex, vibrant and alluring colors. Hand brushing and finishing creates a cloud-like texture and the fluff that distinguishes mohair from other woven goods.

Mohair International will be at AmericasMart Building 2 West Wing-High Design, Booth W1-0523 starting Friday Jan 13th. the company also appears at The NY International Gift Fair in Booth 8022 on Jan. 29th.

MOHAIR INTERNATIONAL is the leading importer of South African mohair products. Both Hinterveld and Baby Mo woven and knitted throws and blankets are unrivalled in color, quality and design. These high-quality luxury goods provide economic opportunity for women and unique craft goods that make outstanding gifts and home d?cor selections found nowhere else.
