New Designs from Confections by Shara's Paperie

The Confections team has been hard at work creating new designs and we are so excited to present our new plate and bowl collections. Our melamine plates and bowls are not only dishwasher safe, but very durable even in your kids hands. All of the designs can stand alone or be monogrammed or personalized.



Recently my cousin had a baby and I wanted to find the perfect new baby gift. I didn’t have to look far, Confections new plates were exactly what I needed. Not only are they great for kids and babies, but they can be used for any occasion, like engagement gifts or new home gifts. Click through the Plate and Bowl sections on the Confections website and let us know what you think about the new designs!

Let’s Talk Personalized Gifts

The holidays will be here before we know it and everyone is thinking about that perfect gift. Whenever I see a new Confections product I immediately think about a person in my life, whether it’s a friend, family member or co-worker who most would enjoy it. For instance, my brother spends a lot of time at the gym and a water bottle would be a great gift for him. I can find a design that I know he will love and customize it with his favorite colors and his name or initials.

What I find most interesting about the personalized gifts we carry is that they are all so unique and are all items that can’t be found anywhere else. We create exclusive designs and can change those designs to fit a specific clients needs. Recently a client asked us if we could change our crab design from red to blue. Because we create the designs and illustrations we have the freedom to make those changes and create a customized gift our clients will love.


When thinking about your holiday shopping, or any occasion, click through the Personalized Gifts section on the Confections by Shara's Paperie and find the perfect gift!

The Handwritten Note


With the convenience of email and text messaging, the handwritten note is often forgotten. Recently I put together a big event which required a lot of volunteers. I don’t know how I would have gotten through the day without them. I wanted to show my appreciation and the first idea that came to my mind was Thank You Notes. While I’ll admit it’s sometimes easier to send a quick text message, it’s much more thoughtful to sit down and write a handwritten note, and really think about what you want to say. And I get excited looking through all the stationery and finding which one I want to use. Shara’s Paperie has so many different stationeries to choose from that finding the right design was not an easy choice. Ultimately I decided on the Confections by Shara’s Paperie Jewel Tone Initial Notes.
