Thoughts on Christmas Eve
I just returned from Christmas Eve service at a beautiful mountain chapel here in Colorado. For whatever reason Christmas Eve brings out a lot of emotion for me, and this year was made even more poignant by a special guest at the service. Two years ago the pastor introduced us to a local Marine just back from a tour in Iraq. This year, the Marine was welcomed back under very different circumstances. In the course of a deployment to Afghanistan he suffered grievous injuries from an IED and lost both his legs. During a very difficult recovery this past year he made a commitment to walk into the chapel this Christmas Eve…and he did…to a standing ovation from all of us there. What a demonstration of the spirit of the season and a heartfelt expression of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity. This Christmas Eve I give thanks for all the gifts and joys of my life, and I also give thanks for the service of this young man and the lessons we can learn from his perseverance and heart.

Must have my Mini Cuddle!
A friend just called to say she was at the giggle San Francisco store and another customer was buying 5 Turquoise Mini Cuddles! Apparently her 3 1/2 month old son and his ambajam blanket are inseparable! She had to buy more so that he wouldn’t get upset when his blankie was in the wash! They tried to “fake him out” …with another blanket but it just wouldn’t do…so love to hear these stories.
Feeling so happy about this fun story that we have decided to offer an impromptu special for our Mini Cuddle Blankets!
Shop between now and August 31 and receive 25% off your Mini Cuddle purchase. Feel free to share with you friends!

A Mini Cuddle Blanket as a reminder of home
We are often told by our customers how their little ones can’t be parted from their Ambajam blankets. Below is a wonderful story that a customer shared with us about how her son’s Ambajam blanket took on additional significance for her husband during his deployment.
“I told my husband, who is currently deployed, that I was bummed because I had somehow lost our son’s spare blanket. He was quiet for a second, then told me he knew where it was… under his pillow! He snuck it in with his gear when he was packing to leave. So I guess my big guy gives it a snuggle when he is missing our little guy:) This pic arrived in my inbox this morning and I had to share…”

Ambajam…coming to a town near you!
Back at the end of 2006 Ambajam was launched online at www.ambajam.com. We operated primarily from our online store for the first couple of years, slowly introducing our products to boutiques around the country.
Our goal in 2009 is to really expand out presence into some of the great baby and gift boutiques around the country, and we are very excited by the progress we have made already.
Ambajam is now available in boutiques on the East Coast, West Coast, down South and all sorts of places in between! Click here for the full list of stores…we will continue to update the list as we expand into more stores.
We exhibited at the New York International Gift Fair in January. This was our first real tradeshow experience and it was exciting, daunting and, of course, exhausting! Overall we had a great and validating experience. The line was really well received and people commented on the great fabrics, vibrant colors and whimsical designs of the line. The Cuddle-up Blankets were a huge hit – no surprise there as they are really quite irrestible if we do say so ourselves!
One of the most exciting things about the show was that we were visited by the buyers from giggle - an independent chain of wonderful, contempoary baby boutiques. I have been a fan of giggle’sfor a long, long time and since starting Ambajam had dreamed of having my products in their stores. They are very selective about the products they introduce into their stores and I had heard it was pretty tough to get in. The fact that the buyers…and then the founder of giggle…stopped by our booth and complimented the line was enough to put me on cloud nine! When we returned to Denver and received a call from giggle saying they were interested in carrying our blankets I almost keeled over with excitement! If you are unfamiliar with giggle definitely check them out either online or at one of their 9 retail locations around the country.
If you think Ambajam would be a good fit in your town, or you know of a great store we should check out, we’d love to hear from you – you can email us at info@ambajam.com

Cuddle-Up Blankets on TV!
Was just watching Pride & Prejudice (one of my all time favorite stories!!!) and saw a commerical for Tori and Dean’s new reality show. Almost fell off the sofa when I caught a couple of shots of her kids with their Ambajam blankets! It’s always so exciting to see our products in action! If you watch the show keep an eye out for the blankets…and lets us knw if you see them!!
