5 Great Recipe Ideas For Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day is just around the corner, and after that there will be plenty of opportunities to go on a picnic in the park or host a cookout. Our gift shop at the Lake of the Ozarks has lots of delicious gourmet mixes that are perfect for serving a group of hungry people. Today we've shared 5 recipes that you can easily make from the Wind & Willow mixes we carry at Good & Perfect Gifts




Zucchini Pizza 
This is a delicious and unique way to make "pizza." It's perfect for vegetarians, but if you're a meat-lover, ground beef or sausage tastes great added on.  

  • 1 Brick Oven Pizza Cheeseball & Appetizer Mix
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 small tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese of your choice 
  • 1 fresh basil, chopped 
Preheat oven to 375° or cook on the grill. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Cut each zucchini in half horizontally, then scoop out the seeds. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with dry Cheeseball Mix. Top with sliced tomato, cheese, basil, and sprinkle with topping packet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until soft. Serve warm. Feel free to add your favorite toppings in addition to the ones listed above.

Country Club Chicken Salad
If you're heading out for a picnic instead of a cookout, or if you have leftover grilled chicken that needs to be used, this recipe is perfect. 

  • 1 Wind & Willow Cheeseball & appetizer Mix
  • 1 cup mayo
  • 2 celery stalks - sliced or diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 30 red or green grapes - halved
  • 1 roasted chicken (shredded or cubed)
Combine Wind & Willow Cheeseball Mix (topping used later) with 1 cup mayo and set aside. Place shredded or cubed chicken in a mixing bowl. Fold in mayo mixture, celery, walnuts, grapes, and 1/2 of the topping. Sprinkle remaining topping over chicken salad to garnish. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve on croissants or bread of your choice. 
*Optional:
-For a healthier version, substitute the mayo with Greek yogurt!
-Serve on small toast points or dinner rolls for a quick appetizer.

Fantastic Ideas For Great Mother's Day Gifts

This Sunday, May 14, 2017 is Mother's Day! Just in case you've waited until nearly the last minute to find the perfect gift for Mom, don't worry! Good & Perfect Gifts in Eldon has some wonderful ideas for you, and there's still time to visit us and pick out something she will love. 



Timeless Jewelry
Our Lake of the Ozarks gift shop is filled with a little bit of everything, so no matter what your mom's personal preferences are, there's something perfect for her on our shelves. One item that any woman loves to receive is a beautiful piece of jewelry. We carry many name brands that Mom will recognize and appreciate right away, plus many fabulous pieces from smaller, local companies that are gorgeous and unique. You'll also find some lovely jewelry boxes for your mother to keep all of her jewelry in. 



Right now through Saturday, May 13 at closing time (4 pm,) we are hosting an "Ears To You" promotion from Brighton that will allow you to get an extra bonus gift for Mom. When you purchase any Brighton necklace and bracelet, we will give you a pair of Brighton earrings of equal or lesser value for FREE! They don't have to be a set. You are welcome to pick out 3 pieces that don't go together, and even break up the bunch and give away three gifts instead of one!

Stylish Fashion
If Mom has too much jewelry (is there really such a thing?) maybe she would like something else new to add to her summer wardrobe. Good & Perfect Gifts carries a wonderful line of unique shirts, dresses, jackets, scarves, and more for a one-of-a-kind look like no one else has. We also carry other fashion accessories, like hats, handbags, belts, shoes, and other items that will keep your mother looking her best every time she steps out the door. 



Gourmet Treats
For the moms that enjoy spending time in the kitchen, you'll find lots of amazing dishes and serving items to add to her collection, as well as many other kitchen items that can make food preparation easy and fun. There are also lots of gourmet mixes for whipping up a tasty treat or two, plus many other delicious items to feed Mom. We've got gourmet coffees, teas, Good & Perfect Gifts' very own brand of canned goods, and much more. 

If fresh-baked sounds better to you, but you don't have time to do the baking, pick up something fresh and delicious from Sugar B's Cakes & Pastries, located inside our Lake of the Ozarks gift shop. Muffins, cookies, cakes... oh my! There's always something amazing coming out of Bridgette's kitchen! 



Fabulous Fragrances
We boast one of the best candle stores at the Lake of the Ozarks. You can find every type of candle in every possible scent to make any room smell incredible. There is also a wonderful selection of fragrance warmers if your mother prefers to scent the room without having to light a flame. 

Candles aren't the only sweet-smelling items we have in our gift shop. There are products to scent things around the home, such as sachets, laundry detergents, and room sprays, as well as items that add lovely scent to your body, like personal sachets, liquid & bar soaps, lotions, and more. 


Beautiful Home Decor
Get sentimental and pick up a lovely picture frame to put a photo of you and your mother inside, or maybe an inspirational plaque that tells her how she makes you feel. You'll find lots of exquisite home decor items that can be displayed in any room of the house. We've even got some fabulous artificial floral arrangements that your mom will love. This type of flower won't die after a few days, but rather live on for her to display for many years to come! 


You will find all kinds of wonderful items to choose from inside our gift shop at the Lake of the Ozarks to show your mother just how special she is. Stop by Good & Perfect Gifts Wednesday-Thursday between 10 am - 5 pm, or Saturday from 9 am - 4 pmWe'll be happy to help you discover the perfect gift.

We carry exquisite women's clothing, handbags, jewelry, and other fashion accessories at Good & Perfect Gifts, and right now you can get FREE earrings from Brighton when you take advantage of a very special promotion. 



Ears To You!
Brighton is a favorite jewelry brand among our wonderful customers, and they are letting us bring an amazing special deal to all of you! Back by popular demand, now through Saturday, May 13, 2017, the "Ears To You" promotion gives you the opportunity to get free earrings when you add to your Brighton jewelry collection! 

Wearing jewelry from this magnificent company is like having a piece of fine art for fashion. Their pieces are timeless without looking old-fashioned, so your purchase will never go out of style.   


How To Get Your Free Earrings 
When you purchase one of their fabulous necklaces plus one of their incredible bracelets, Brighton is letting Good & Perfect Gifts give you a gorgeous set of earrings at no additional cost. (The earrings must be of equal or lesser value to the other jewelry items purchased.) You are welcome to pick out a set that goes together, or you can mix it up and pick three completely different styles. 

Who Needs New Jewelry?
Well, the simple answer is... all of us! Getting a great deal like this just makes it easier to convince yourself that right now is the perfect time to add to your jewelry collection. In addition to picking out something pretty for yourself, there are a few gift-giving opportunities coming up very soon.

A beautiful set of Brighton jewelry for a young lady graduating from high school or college would be a thoughtful gift that will be used for many years to come. Don't forget about Mother's Day on May 14, too! Mom's can be difficult to buy gifts for because they always seem to have everything that they need, but a new piece of jewelry is always a welcome addition to any collection. You can give someone the entire set for a present, or choose to buy a necklace and bracelet to get earrings for free, then split them up to give to different people. There are all kinds of possibilities!

Don't Miss This Amazing Deal!
There is a time limit on how long we can offer this unbelievable special, so come in soon before it's over on May 13. The free earrings are limited to what we have in stock at our Lake of the Ozarks gift shop, so the sooner you come in, the more choices you'll have before someone else gets to them first.  



Good & Perfect Gifts is open every Wednesday through Friday from 10 am - 5 pm, and each Saturday from 9 am - 4 pm. You still have time this week and next week to find a brand new Brighton necklace and bracelet and get earrings to go with them, absolutely free!
