Great Gift Ideas For Father's Day

Father's Day falls on Sunday, June 18, 2017 this year, so it's not too early to start thinking about what to give this special man. You can find lots of wonderful items inside our gift shop at the Lake of the Ozarks, and in today's blog, Good & Perfect Gifts has highlighted a few of them for you.

The way to a man's heart...
is said to be through his stomach, so getting your dad a few tasty treats for Father's Day is always a great idea. Our store is the perfect place to find gourmet foods at the Lake of the Ozarks. We carry lots of different mixes that are simple to make from Wind & Willow, and our molly & drew beer bread mixes are easy and delicious. (The beer cooks out, but you can substitute any carbonated beverage in place of the beer if you like!)

Our Good & Perfect Gifts brand canned goods are always a favorite gift to receive, and we've got some amazing gourmet coffees for dad to start his day off with. You can even find a cool coffee mug for him on our shelves. Last, but certainly not least, Sugar B's Cakes & Pastries always has delicious baked goods cooked up and ready to take home.

The Grill Master
If Dad loves to prepare the food himself on his trusty BBQ grill, we've got plenty of kitchen items to help him with that. His very own monogrammed cutting board can make his meal preparations even more special. Wind & Willow's gourmet mixes make incredible rubs and marinades for grilling, and their Farm Stand Fresh pickle mixes are a great picnic side dish to enhance Dad's BBQ.

Something for his office.
Another idea is to get your dad something decorative for his own private space, like his desk at home or at work. Every time he sees it, he'll be reminded of you. A nice desk set with a pen and space for note paper looks good and is also useful. A fun coaster set featuring a hobby or favorite thing can bring a bit of whimsy to his work space. Another great reminder of the family that loves him is a picture frame with all of you together in it.

Let Dad pamper himself.
The ladies aren't the only ones that can find great skincare items at Good & Perfect Gifts! We carry the amazing Jack Black line of men's premium skincare products. Everything they create is made with natural ingredients, is handcrafted, multi-functional, dermatologist tested, colorant-free, and cruelty-free. Dad's skin will look and feel fantastic!

The best gift - Time Together!
While your father will love anything that you decide to give him because it is from his special child, make sure you also try to add some quality time with you into the gift. If you live near each other, go out for dinner, watch a game together, or simply reminisce over the "good ol' days" over coffee. If you don't live close enough to visit your dad, give him a call. Hearing from you will be the best part of his day.

Come on by Good & Perfect Gifts in Eldon and take a look through the store to see all of the wonderful things that we have inside our Lake of the Ozarks gift shop for Dad. We'll be happy to help you find something perfect to make his Fathers Day extra special.

The Benefits of Shea Butter Soaps on Your Skin

As the weather gets colder, the air gets dryer. This can have an unpleasant effect on your skin. Using the Shea butter soaps that we carry at Good & Perfect Gifts in Eldon when you bathe or shower will keep your skin nourished and healthy in every season.

Our Lake of the Ozarks gift shop carries Shea butter soaps in both liquid and bar form. For those of you that have never heard about the wonderful benefits of Shea butter on your skin, we've gathered some information that will convince you that you need to start using this amazing natural element soon.

What is Shea Butter?
Sometimes referred to as a "superfood for your skin," Shea butter comes from the seeds of the fruit found on the Shea Tree, also known as the Karite Tree, that is native to West Africa. This tree doesn't begin producing fruit until it is about 15-20 years old, and does not fully mature until many years later. Once it has, the tree can produce fruit for up to 200 years.

Once turned into "butter" form, your skin will benefit from the many nutrients that naturally occur in the Shea fruit. It is rich in vitamins A and E, and it contains fatty acids and other nutrients that help to replenish the natural oils in your skin, and even aid in collagen production.

Shea Butter & Your Skin
There are many incredible benefits for your skin when you wash it with soaps containing Shea butter. These include:

Moisturizing - It is a wonderful, natural moisturizer for skin because it aids your body in producing natural oils, preventing dryness. This is due to the rich amounts of vitamins and fatty acids it contains.
Anti-Inflammatory - The natural acids in Shea can reduce inflammations of the skin and help to take care of conditions like acne and eczema.
Nourishing - By stimulating the production of collagen in your skin, Shea can help to give your skin a healthier, youthful look and even diminish the appearance of wrinkles.

A Wide Selection of Gentle Skincare Products

You will find a wonderful selection of soaps containing Shea when you visit our gift shop at the Lake of the Ozarks. In addition to those, we also carry many exquisitely scented hand and body lotions to use once you get out of the tub or shower. Our lotions also contain many amazing natural ingredients that will continue the gentle care of your beautiful skin.

Now is an excellent time to pick up a few new soaps in lovely seasonal fragrances at Good & Perfect Gifts. We have lots of amazing fall scents, and we are beginning to get in a few of our wintry, Christmas scents already too. Stop by soon and discover the wonderful products that we carry to bring out the natural beauty of your skin.

Delicious Football Foods From Our Gourmet Mixes

Football season is upon us, which means tailgating and football parties, and that means preparing food & drinks for lots of hungry people. Our Lake of the Ozarks gift shop has a large variety of mouth-watering gourmet mixes that will allow you to make some very impressive treats to fill up those football lovers. Today we are featuring a few recipe ideas from two of Good & Perfect Gifts' most popular companies: molly & drew-the Beer Bread Company, and Wind & Willow.

MOLLY & DREW
The delicious Beer Bread Company mixes from molly & drew combine two things that are always welcome when football is on: beer & snacks! (Although you can use another carbonated beverage in place of the beer for these recipes if you prefer.) You can bake the beer bread in mini muffin tins for a tray full of bite-size treats for the crowd. A few flavors we carry are: American Original, Gluten Free Original, Garlic Parmesan, and Taste of Tuscany.

These mixes also make amazing pizza crusts! Simply add 12 ounces of beer or another carbonated beverage to the mix and spread the dough onto a greased pizza pan or stone, bake at 350° until lightly browned, add toppings, then return to the oven until toppings are done. For a thicker crust, simply use less liquid. The dip mixes from molly & drew even taste great as a pizza topping.

You can tackle dessert with molly & drew mixes too. A new item that we have at Good & Perfect Gifts is their Mug Cake Kits. They are super simple to make, as the video below demonstrates, and as it states, you can have "cake today and, coffee tomorrow" thanks to the adorable cup that the mix comes in. (It's not too early to start thinking about Christmas stocking stuffers, and these would be perfect!) When they're done, you'll have a single serving of yummy Ooey Gooey Chocolate Brownie Cake Mix to enjoy.

WIND & WILLOW
The incredible mixes from Wind & Willow are extremely versatile, allowing you to use them for much more than dips. The Brick Oven Pizza Cheesball & Appetizer Mix, when baked onto pizza crust, gives your homemade pizza a brick oven taste. Stuffed jalapenos are a popular football food, and many of the dips make an incredible filler for those. The BLT Cheeseball Appetizer Mix is used in these delicious Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos.

You can choose your favorite flavors of Wind & Willow's Cheeseball & Appetizer Mixes to add a tasty kick to steak fries, along with a little olive oil and shredded cheeses. The perfect companion to those burgers & brats on the grill. The Spinach-Artichoke Cheeseball & Appetizer Mix will please your crowd simply used as a dip, but you can also stuff it into a few mushroom caps and really impress their taste buds.

Last but not least, everyone will want something sweet to go along with all of the salty and spicy flavors of the day. The Lemon or Key Lime Pie Cheeseball & Dessert Mixes make a flavorful quick cheesecake. This season is also perfect for the Caramel Apple Cheeseball & Dessert Mix. It tastes amazing spread onto apple slices, or you can make this Caramel Apple Popcorn. Your guests will be eating it in great big handfuls!

Great Food for Hungry Crowds
The best part about these recipes is that they require very little effort to prepare, yet they taste as if you slaved away in the kitchen all day long. The gourmet mixes that we carry often change from season to season, so you will want to stop by our gift shop at the Lake of the Ozarks to see what we have for you this week. Good & Perfect Gifts in Eldon can even help you with creative recipe ideas for the items that we carry. Whip up a few of these treats, and your guests will be the real winners at your next football party.

Shop Local for Independent Retailer Month This July

July is Independent Retailer Month, and our Lake of the Ozarks gift shop fits perfectly into that category. Shopping locally is great for a community, and this month highlights that fact, reminding people of the benefits of shopping smaller stores like Good & Perfect Gifts.

What are those benefits? Here are a few:

Personal Touch

The "big box" stores found all over the country may offer convenience when you shop, but they are so large that they often lack that special, personal touch that you experience at an independent retailer. Larger chains will have great big staffs to handle all of the merchandise that they carry. There is a very good chance that you will be helped by someone different every time that you shop there.

Shopping online is even more convenient than going into a big store, but once again, that personal touch is usually missing. If there is online help, it will most likely be written in email or message form, and if you have to call, you may be on hold for a long time.

At Good & Perfect Gifts, you will always be greeted by a familiar face. Each time that you come in, Jera, Eva, or Bridget will be there with a big smile and welcoming hello. We love being able to learn our customers names and get to know all about them. It starts to feel like an extended family. You are always welcome to come in, join us for a cup of coffee, something tasty from Sugar B's Cakes & Pastries, and a bit of friendly conversation.

Local Flavor

While the big chain stores often carry almost every item you could possibly need, the things that they have for sale are dictated by what people all over the country are wanting to buy. When you shop locally at an independent retailer, a large majority of the pieces available to purchase come from local companies.

Our gift shop in Eldon is proud to offer many products made from companies that are very close to home. Some of these include:

Good & Perfect Gifts - Eldon, MO
Sugar B's Cakes & Pastries - Eldon, MO
Wind & Willow - Mt. Vernon, MO
Swan Creek Candle Co. - Swanton, Ohio
molly & drew - Sac City, Iowa

Community Support

Spending money at a local retailer ends up supporting the community it is located in. For example, the money that you use to purchase an item at an independent retailer will usually be spent again up to 15 times before leaving the area. Most of the money spent at a large chain will leave that town immediately. Shopping locally allows you to support a neighbor, and in turn that neighbor's business supports the community you live in.

In July in particular, everyone is encouraged to support local businesses, but we hope to see you all year long at our gift shop at the Lake of the Ozarks, and also at the many other wonderful independent retailers in the area. Shopping locally helps to keep our incredible community the great place to live that it is. Good & Perfect Gifts thanks you for helping us to become a part of your community.
