Additionally, if you sign up via that link, you can score a car owner’s bonus. When you rent your car out to other users, you’ll get a $75 bonus deposited in your account the first time you rent. Two ways to earn extra cash. Actually three if you refer your own friends.

Peer to Peer Car Sharing: What is it?

If you’ve used AirBnb, you already have experienced the peer to peer sharing economy. It occurs when one person has something to spare (e.g. a bedroom), and someone else needs to borrow it for a bit. I mean, why not—you aren’t using it! Everyone could use a little extra cash.

Side note: There are sharing services for all sorts of things! Our current favorite is hip camping (HipCamp).

Anyway, I digress. Turo is the same thing, but for peer to peer car sharing specifically. Either you have a car and are happy to rent your car out for extra cash, or you need to rent a car from an owner in that city.

Turo.com helps you navigate the car options in your city. You can find anything from a convertible sports car, to a van that includes a mattress in the back.

How Does Turo Work? Rent a Car from Owner

How Does Turo Work? How to Rent your Car and get a $75 bonusRenting a car can be expensive, and complicated. When you borrow a privately owned car, it usually ends up being a lot cheaper and more flexible. Turo connects you with a car owner. Find one you like. Then apply to rent a car from an owner, and together you figure out your pickup location. Sometimes they’ll even deliver it straight to your location (for free or for a small fee).

Together you decide the mileage you’ll be putting on the car. You’ll also both ensure that the car is returned the way it was taken—so take photos! Other than that, you’re good to start driving!

How does Turo work? As in, how do they make money? Well, pretty much the way all the sharing services do. Turo.com makes a profit by being a middle man. They take 25% from the car owner’s earnings.

Rent your Car Out…and Earn Cash

If you have a car that you don’t use all the time, you may want to consider the option to rent your car out. It’s a great way to earn extra cash. In busy cities, it’s also one way to ensure you don’t need to find a parking spot the entire time you’re on vacation!

Turo obviously isn’t free (if you’re a car owner), as I mentioned before. They skim off 25% of your earnings. So be sure to calculate that in when you’re…calculating stuff. But! If you sign up for Turo via this link, you’ll start with a $75 car owner bonus.

Meet the surprise gift artist: Erin from Lustrous Elements

Meet the surprise gift artist: Erin from Lustrous Elements

In December, subscribers to our monthly gifts for women received this gorgeous pair of handmade gold and silver earrings made by surprise gift artist Erin from Lustrous Elements:

Silver and gold earrings

Everyone went nuts, and it is already one of our more popular surprise gifts of all time!  So we thought you’d perhaps like to learn a little bit more about the wonderful handmade artist who created this lovely surprise gift!

About the Artist: Erin

What’s your background for your art and your business?

I attended the Art Institute of Dallas from 90-92, graduating with a degree in Visual Communications. I studied design, composition, painting photography, and use of color and space. I’ve been working in the  promotional advertising business since 1993. I’m a self taught jewelry & accessories designer, beginning in 2005.

Is your handmade jewelry style the same as what you choose to wear yourself?

Yes, other than my wedding ring the only jewelry I wear is my own. Over time my designs have grown to incorporate men’s jewelry and accessories, of which my husband has been a grateful recipient. I’m a very lucky wife!

What are a few fun facts to help your fans get to know you a bit better?

I love dancing. Starting in 2007 I started taking country western couples dance lessons, and in 2010 I started competing. Yes I know, very quirky. I’m not so great, but don’t need to be because dancing makes me very very happy.

Here’s a little description about the necklace from her Etsy page:

This is such a cute personalized necklace. I hand stamped a tiny 7mm 14K gold filled disk with an initial and suspended it from a 16 inch 14K gold filled chain. This would make for a wonderful gift for a family, friend, or as bridal gifts.

We agree!

Welcome to our new website

It’s finally here!

We’ve been so excited to reveal our newly designed website, and can’t believe it’s finally arrived!

While nothing absolutely vital has been removed from our site, the navigation has been vastly improved, along with improved view capabilities of our Past Surprises, our blog, and our Subscription Options.  Now, instead of having a multitude of different products pages to decide between—there is simply one:  the Fair Ivy Subscription, and from that product page you can use drop-downs to select your type of subscription and even the number of months of handmade gift boxes you wish to receive.

Artist’s Shop: Coming soon!

We are also doubly excited because this new website format will allow us to create an Artist’s shop section, where you can purchase items directly from artists who have been featured in our monthly subscription gift boxes in the past.  So keep your eyes peeled!

Handmade Silver and Gold Disk Earrings

Last month, subscribers to all of our active subscriptions (Jewelry, Duet and Original) received these gorgeous handmade silver and gold disk earrings.  Made by Lustrous Elements in Texas, these earrings were designed specifically for Fair Ivy subscribers. We find them to be the perfect addition to any outfit—be it casual or fancy.

We really liked the packaging these handmade silver and gold disk earrings came in.  It was simple, clean and elegant.

The lovely little note inside states:
Life is a composite of little moments.  It’s the little things that make it sparkle.
We couldn’t agree more!

The artist’s get-to-know-me card reads:

I created these sparkly little gold filled and sterling silver earrings just for you.  They’ve been cut from a gold filled and sterling silver sheet, sanded smooth and given a satin finish.  They hang on my handmade gold-filled earwires.  My sincerest wish is that they will make you smile every time you wear them.

Rose Soap & Grapefruit Lip Balm

December brought one of our favorite soap makers back (Piccolo Paradiso!), to send out her fantastic new fragrance of soap—Principessa, a delicate rose and exotic fruit blend.  Along with it came a bonus surprise gift—grapefruit lip balm!

Grapefruit lip balm - handmade from fairivy.com

The two scents—both of the handmade rose soap and of the grapefruit lip balm, were absolutely divine. The soap was the perfect item to place on a soap dish for an elegant lady.  The scent has a touch of vintage that sends our imaginations to a Victorian home with every waft of rose!

The gift packaging was also adorable, with little buttons and a “hand crafted for you” sticker.  Even the product labels felt so organic and lovely!

We know we can never go wrong with the handmade products from Piccolo Paradiso.  Didn’t get one as a gift in your monthly gift box subscription from Fair Ivy?  Not to worry, you can head on over to Piccolo Paradiso’s shop!
