Wearing Red

Red is always eye-catching and lifts your spirits.  Here are some ways to treat yourself or someone else to something red:

Red Leather Necklace with Silver Bead (necklace and bead sold separately) from Simon Sebbag.

Red and silver jeweler's quality resin bracelet with diamonte clasp.

Spectacular red earrings from Patrice.

Fancy Handbags

These beautiful bags are as exquisitely made on the inside as they are decorated on the outside.  Lovely leatherwork and stones adorn each one.  Exceptional quality and interesting stitching details make these unique.  The pictures tell the story:

Lampe Jewelry

No, it’s not a typo.  Ann’s has custom made “jewelry” for your Lampe Berger!  Each piece is a charm that dresses up your lampe, adding a little glitz and personality.  Buy them separately, or add one to the new Lampe Berger you’re buying for a gift.  Lampe Jewelry pieces are $19.95 each.    (What is Lampe Berger?  Click here to learn more!)

Pretty Pearls

Majorica Pearls (the best man-made pearls from Majorica, Spain) gives you beautiful ways to wear pearls.  Here’s an idea from Ann’s (she would love these as a gift):

Majorica Baroque white pearl necklace with vermeil links.

Majorica Baroque white pearl drop earrings with vermeil go well with the necklace, above.

Rancher’s Chair

The hardworking rancher doesn’t sit down very often, but when he does, he wants his chair to be comfortable.  This beauty is upholstered in leather and Kilim, with deep seats and sturdy frame.  Kick off your boots and relax in Texas style! 

Empire Chair, $1885. Square pillow, $195.

The other chair, $1885. Square pillow, $195. Kilim footrest, $179.

Bodacious floral arrangement looks good with the chairs.

Texas Chocolate Truffles

Ann’s customers have treated themselves and their friends to Ann’s Texas Chocolate Truffles for years.  Larger than other specialty chocolates, they are hand-made right here in the Lone Star State.  Select your chocolates and we will box them in a gold box with a pretty bow to make a lovely gift.  Or just buy a few to eat in the car on the way home!  (You know you will.)  Here are some of the new party truffles and some old favorites:

Make it a gift! You pick the chocolates, we'll add the pretty bow.

Texas Coffee

Ann loves good coffee.  That’s why she sells Texas Coffee from Fredericksburg, TX, in her store.  With names like “Texas Gold” and “Bubba’s Texas Brew,” you can buy Texas coffee in 8-10 cup packets for $2.50 each.  Buy a few to share, your friends will love it!   There is always hot coffee to sample at Ann’s, so come on by, enjoy the brew, and browse our 16,000 square foot store of unique gifts.   

Ann's Texas Coffee is always a hit. 1.5 ounce packets ($2.50 each) make 8-10 cups of brew.

Reverse-Painted Coasters

Need a quick gift for someone?  Pick up a set of coasters from Ann’s.  Featured here are sets of 4 for $49.50 per set.  These are reverse-painted, which means the artwork is painted on the underside of the glass.  You can display and use these without damaging the design.

Ooh-la-la Bracelets

OOOOoooooh!   Nothing else describes these. Show-stopping cuff bracelets are sure to get you noticed.  Come try them on at Ann’s!
