It’s another month of terrific goodies from The Sampler!

Let's start things off with a bang!

My Perfect Man Coloring BookMy Perfect Man Coloring & Activity Book - I can't help it - this has to be my favorite sample (no offense to the other contributors). 

With it's mini pack of crayons and cheeky captions to go along with each dream guy inside, I would definitely give this coloring book to any girlfriend who might need cheering up while going through a break-up. 

I can totally see Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte & Samantha each choosing their favorite stud to color in whilst sipping a few cosmos and eating Chinese Take-Out! Totally hilarious, fun and a genius idea!

Eclectic ElementsEclectic Elements: Necklace, Earrings & Pocket Mirror Set: I was pleasantly surprised to see that this was a coordinating jewelry set with accompanying mirror.

What a generous sample, and something that would look equally fashionable with jeans and a cute top as it would with a slinky dress on Girl's Night Out.

Jackson Sage Lip BalmJackson Sage Lip Balm:  One cannot overlook the importance of packaging when you are trying to promote your indie business. A Planet For Creation Yuzen Earrings

I think Jackson Sage totally gets it right with their all-natural corrugated cardboard, twine, which perfectly plays up their natural-ingredient lip balms.  Marketing genius.

A Planet For Creation's Yuzen Earrings:  A fun alternative to the usual bead earrings out there, AP4C's earrings are lightweight and are sure to add a splash of dynamic color.

Button CollectiveButton Collective Limited Edition Collaborative Series Snapshot#1:I love this set - this is what indie is all about. Thinking outside the box to promote your business in your own unique way.

Manic Trout Freak Like Me NecklaceManic Trout - Nicola Freak Like Me Necklace: I love the playful use of gold-toned charms.  It gives this piece the feel of a modern day talisman, with its mini lie-detector trinket and movable arrow.

Recipe Crds & Magnet from Allison Biggs Graphic DesignFoody Set of 3 recipe cards & 1 refrigerator magnet from Allison Biggs Graphic Design:  Allison puts the same sense of tasteful elegance into her graphic design as she does her jewelry.  The use of muted colors and modern design are sure to make cooking fun again.

Thinking of You Letterpress Gift Card from Lizard Press:  Gorgeous floral design that sprawls the entire front surface of the card in lime green with coordinating brown envelope.Lizard Press Letterpress Gift Card 

So lovely, I immediately had to take it out of the package to run my fingers over the raised leaf & flower patterns.  I must get myself a full set immediately!

Happy Tea Cup Sew On PatchHappy Tea Cup Sew-On Patch by Mary Jane's Attic: Simple drawing style allows the super-sweet illustration to shine all on its own

Zombie Escape Plan Journal & Button from Re-conceived:  Zombie Escape Plan Journal & ButtonEvery gal needs a zombie escape plan.  Why rely on a man to do the job for you (because you know he'll probably be cowering under the covers when the zombies Do come!).  

You can keep this handy spiral-bound notebook in your book bag and jot down your own personal survival tactics, while also wearing the discreet button so those other equally independent & resourceful ladies out there will know you've got their back.
