Fall Home Decor Ideas

The Autumn season brings along with it all kinds of beautiful colors. Now is a wonderful time to bring a few of those hues indoors. The best gift shop near the Lake of the Ozarks has a large collection of items to help you decorate every room this Fall. Good & Perfect Gifts in Eldon has a few ideas to help you dress up your home this season.

Table centerpieces

The dining table is a perfect place to start. Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, and you will want your table looking its best for your guests until the time that you cover it with all of that delicious food. You can find pumpkins and gourds for a pretty good price after Halloween has passed. A small grouping of these looks nice in the center of a table. Another great idea is to hollow them out and insert some of the lovely floral items that we carry here at Good and Perfect Gifts. A mini tree like the one pictured below is also a very attractive centerpiece.

Candles

Candles add a beautiful glow to not only your dining table, but anyplace that you would like to add a little light. Coffee tables, bookshelves, counter tops...you can utilize candles of all shapes and sizes just about everywhere. The flame puts off an aura of warmth, which is always welcome when it begins getting colder outside. Not only do candles add beauty for the eyes, but also for your sense of smell. They will fill your home with all of the scents of the season - pumpkin spice, apple, cinnamon, and more. Our Eldon gift shop has many candles for you to pick from, and if you come in on Fragrant Thursday, you can stock up for the entire month! Every Thursday, if you spend at least $15 on Tyler candles or other Tyler products, you will receive a free gift.

Artwork

Changing out the artwork on your walls with every season can keep the look of your home fresh and fun. We have all types of artwork at Good & Perfect Gifts. Pictures or sayings, whatever you are looking for, you should be able to find something perfect right here.

Nature itself

Don't forget about the all-natural decor that you can find outside of your home or on your next nature walk. Colorful leaves make excellent accent pieces on a serving tray or strung across a wall like a piece of art. Branches in a vase can even be arranged to give off a nice Fall vibe. If you don't want to worry about these natural items shriveling up, come on in to our gift shop and find a few artificial ones that you can use year after year.

Stop by our gift shop near the Lake of the Ozarks soon and look around. There is something in every corner of our store that could be used to decorate your home this season. While you are here, you can even get a head start on a few items to decorate your home with this winter. Happy decorating!

Product Spotlight - molly & drew, The Beer Bread Company

Our gift shop near the Lake of the Ozarks carries a wide variety of incredible products. Occasionally we will take the time to feature one of them. With Thanksgiving and Christmas only weeks away, many households will be doing a lot of entertaining and party-going. Having something yummy to whip up is a must, and molly & drew have plenty of treats for you. Good & Perfect Gifts in Eldon carries many of their products right here in our gift shop.

molly & drew (& that's not a type-o, the names are not capitalized!) started out in a small town in Iowa. They headed to a craft show with only 100 bags of homemade beer bread mix to sell, and today you can find their products in thousands of retail stores all over the USA.

Molly is the human leader of the company, and Drew is actually her lovable English Bulldog! He is a big inspiration to have fun and enjoy life everyday, and the Beer Bread Company is all about being inspired. Inspiration comes to them through everything in their daily lives; family, friends, work, their customers, and the small town work ethic that started the entire journey.

Beer Bread Mixes

These are both simple and delicious. All you have to do is add a 12 oz. beer or other carbonated beverage and bake. Depending on what flavor beverage that you use, the taste can vary, lending to a different bread each time. There is even a gluten-free option available.

Cheese Ball Mixes

All you need is a block of cream cheese and any other add-ins that your heart, and taste buds, are inspired to add. These are great rolled in your favorite crushed nuts too.

Dip Mixes

A variety of flavors are available in these mixes, from sweet to smokey. Most of these only need cream cheese and maybe some whipped topping added. Some are mixed with sour cream and mayo.

Hot Dip Mixes

One package makes enough to fill a mini crock pot. Just add cream cheese, beer, and whatever meat is called for. These are always a crowd favorite!

Beer Cake Mixes

All you need is this one of these mixes, beer, and an egg. Each bag also has a recipe for a scrumptious Beer Cream Frosting too. molly & drew say that once you try these, you won't ever want to use a traditional mix again!

If you are wanting to make something homemade but need it to be fast and easy, these mixes are just what you are looking for. Our Eldon gift shop stocks lots of molly & drew gourmet mixes, along with many other wonderful treats. Visit the Beer Bread Company website for recipe ideas and a better look at their delicious variety of mixes. Next, visit us at Good & Perfect Gifts to get your hands on a few of your favorite flavors. We'd love to hear about how much your friends and family love what you mix up!

Meet Bridget from Sugar B's Cakes & Pastries

Good & Perfect Gifts in Eldon not only features the best gifts, home decor, fashions, and jewelry, but we also have the best bakery at the Lake of the Ozarks tucked away inside our gift shop. Sugar B's Cakes & Pastries, owned by Bridget Thompson, bakes up tasty, ready-to-eat creations Wednesday-Saturday right here. She also takes special orders.

Bridget recently answered a few questions so that you could all get to know this incredible baker a little bit better.

How long have you been baking?

I just started with Jera at Good & Perfect Gifts 6 months ago. I worked at the Sugar Loft in Osage Beach for 3 years before that, and I was also the pastry chef at On the Rise Bakery in Osage Beach for a year.

Did you receive any kind of formal training?

I was trained by Le Cordon Bleu's bakery & pastry program. I baked cakes on my own for people while my sons were young, then I was hired at the Sugar Loft.

How long have you lived in the area?

20 years ago I moved to Eldon. I'm originally form Portland, Oregon. After getting divorced, I moved here to live near my sister, whose husband was stationed at Ft. Leonard Wood at the time.

What types of treats can people expect from Sugar B's?

We have all kinds of desserts and baked goods ready for purchase inside Good & Perfect Gifts. A few popular items are the muffins, Mississippi Mud Pie, Ooey Gooey Butter Cake, Brownies, and the Cake Truffles. We also have coffee, tea, and soft drinks available to go along with them, and several tables and chairs if you'd like to eat right here. It's a joy working inside of Good & Perfect gifts. There is so much opportunity for new possibilities. Eventually I would like to serve lunch.

What do you like to do in your free time?

I'm a big Cardinals fan and love going to the games.

Are there any types of food that you hate?

Squash, and any kind of melon. My grandmother used to force us to eat them as kids.

What's on your bucket list?
I would love to visit Greece.

Do you have any funny stories related to baking?
When I worked at the Sugar Loft, a guy came in to pick up a wedding cake. He had planned to transport it in the open back of his pickup truck all the way from Osage Beach to Casa de Loco Winery past Camdenton! That was NOT going to happen. We made him let us deliver it.

You can see a lot more of Bridget's culinary creations on the Sugar B's Facebook page. Don't forget to put your orders in now for all of the Thanksgiving and Christmas treats that you would like for her to bake up for you. Stop by our Lake of the Ozarks gift shop soon and see what she's got cooking for the day.

Our Kameleon Sterling Silver Interchangeable Jewelry

Kameleon's slogan is, "Change is natural." The best jewelry store near the Lake of the Ozarks loves offering this jewelry line to our customers because they can change it up as often as they like. A few pieces can have many different looks, expanding a small jewelry collection into a gigantic array of possibilities.

Good & Perfect Gifts in Eldon has been selling Kameleon jewelry for over 9 years, beginning in our former Jefferson City gift shop. You only have to purchase one sterling silver ring, bracelet, watch, necklace, etc... for your collection. The variety comes when you start adding small, interchangeable inserts called JewelPops. These are easily "popped" into your jewelry of choice. They come in a rainbow of colors and a wide variety of materials and themes.

JewelPops are set with semi-precious stones, Swarovski Crystal, synthetic opals, and sparkling cubics. The names of some of these give them their own personality and add a bit of fun. You can buy a JewelPop with an owl on it titled "Wise Guy," or one with a beautiful teal crystal called, "Keepin' It Teal!" In addition to owning jewelry that is both attractive and fun, you also get the added value of infinite possibilities you can match to your mood, the season, or your wardrobe.

Kameleon is not only the perfect jewelry to add to your own collection, but it's also a magnificent gift, especially for the person that has everything. Everyone has a friend or family member that is difficult to buy for. With this collection, you start them out with a lovely piece of sterling silver jewelry and a JewelPop or two. Now you can add to their collection every time that you need to buy them another present! Plus, who doesn't love starting a new collection?

If you are searching for something new and exciting to add to your own jewelry collection, or if you are ready to start buying early Christmas gifts, Kameleon's sterling silver interchangeable pieces are a brilliant choice. Our gift shop near the Lake of the Ozarks offers an extensive selection of these. You are sure to find something that matches the style that you are looking for.
