Teacher Gift Give-Away!

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

It’s hard to believe May is here and another school year is coming to a close. For some of us it means camps are registered, country club memberships are renewed, summer shopping has begun and vacations are underway! But let’s not forget those individuals who have been working so hard all year for your children, grandchildren, nephews, neices and friends. Teachers truly are the difference makers in this world that  work all year to better children’s lives.

Dolce has decided to give back to these hard-working men and women by offering a “Teacher Gift Give-Away!” Vote your favorite teacher on our Facebook Page  and the teacher with the most votes, wins! The gift will be chosen from our handful of our adorable and delicious teacher gifts. 

Festival Fun in November!

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

Dolce will be at 3 fun festivals this weekend!

 Some will argue that the best time of year in Atlanta, Georgia, is Fall. Dolce has to agree!  The weather is the perfect temperature, the leaves are beautiful and and it means holiday season is right around the corner. Our busiest time of year has come and we are pumped to be attending three fun festivals this weekend. Here is the details:

Friday, November 18th- Dolce is attending Temple Emanu-EL. They hold a “market” every year for the community of Sandy Springs and Atlanta. There will be numerous vendors there- this one is GREAT for Hanukkah, teacher and holiday gifts! It starts am 9am and goes until 1pm.

Saturday, November 19th- Dolce is attending St. Pius X Catholic High School. This is the 17th year for this great festival! There will be over 100 artisians and vendors showcasing everything from pottery and children clothes to jewelry and gourmet gifts ;) for the holidays! It will be from 9am- 3pm.

Sunday, November 20th- Dolce is attending the All American Girl Doll event at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia Hotel. We know, this is not a festival, but it seems like a lot of fun! If you have a daughter that loves American Doll or want to go back to your child hood of loving them, come join us! It will be from 1pm-4pm.

Hopefully see some of you there! Happy Fall Y’all!

Use a Celebration to Give Back!

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
For every big occasion in life we spend tons of money and time on every detail and want our kid’s birthdays, daugher’s weddings or parent’s 50th wedding anniversary’s to be flawless. It’s called love and wanting nothing but the best for those who mean the most in our lives. At the end of the event you sometimes wonder if everyone had a good time and most importantly if it was a success in the eyes of your guest. You focused on all the small details down to the centerpieces on each table. 
So here is some food for thought:
What if you spent the same amount of money or less on a small detail like centerpieces and that money went back to charity?

That’s precisley what Dolce wants to share with you. You will see pictures below of an event where owner, Laura Weiss used tools and supplies placed in a fun bucket with a small explanation of what charity they were being donated to.

Why not spend the money on something that goes back to your community?

 

More supplies to help the campers at Camp Twin Lakes!

Art supplies to send to Camp Twin Lakes!

This is a bucket centerpiece benefiting the Atlanta Food Bank!

Your ideas can be endless!
 Hopefully this post will inspire you to think about how you can give back at your next party or event. It’s easy to do  and at the end of day you are helping a cause you care about… what guest of an event wouldn’t love that?!
*Dolce would gladly give you help with ideas or help you put together baskets, buckets, etc for your next occasion!

A Candy Bar

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

Ever had an event and wanted to have something different, unique and eye catching to your guest? Something that made them say “Wow, this is memorable and so much fun!”? Well Dolce owner, Laura Weiss, has yet again come up with an idea to WOW consumers and help any event stick out above others.

Pink Candy Buffet

 This one contains: Cotton Candy Old Fashioned Candy Sticks, White Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Rods, Milk Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Twist, Pink Swirl Lollipops, Rasperry Lindt Truffles, Cotton Candy Jellie Bellies, Pink Jordan Almonds, Pink M&M’s, Watermelon Licorice, Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies and Chocolote Dipped Rice Krispy Treats!

Now I’m sure most of you have heard of or seen a “candy bar” or a “candy buffet” at some point in your lives. What’s different with Dolce’s? Well besides the expertise and creative minds that would go behind choosing the best goodies, our team will make it easy and stress- free. We have the perfect sweets for birthdays, weddings, bar mitzvahs, going away parties, corporate events, etc. This list goes on and on!  The picture above is an example of a candy bar we have provided gourmet treats for in the past. This was for a baby naming and the theme was obviously “PINK”. We created the theme, ordered the best (and only the best) candies and sweets!

  So whether you are trying to plan an event big or small, for adults or children, Dolce can provide the perfect, personalized candy bar to your taste!
