Safe, New Easter Idea Brings Festive Fun to Wilton Homes
A local mom and entrepreneur has created a fun new way for families to celebrate Easter and the holidays while staying safe.
WILTON, CT—A local mom, Wendy Mitchell, has created a new business that's geared towards helping children and families celebrate the holidays, birthdays, and other special occasions while still remaining socially distant—Salutations Custom Greetings.
The idea was born out of the owner's idea to bring her vegetable surplus to family and friends. It then turned into customized cards and gift baskets for her family who she could not visit due to Covid, and packages for her friends and neighbors. This past month, she created a highly successful fundraiser at a nonprofit where she volunteers and soon after decided to launch her own business.
Salutations Custom Greetings is super EGGcited to bring their very FIRST lawn sign/gift basket offering to the Wilton community. "You've Been EGGED!" is an Easter lawn sign package that brings the holiday spirit from your hearts to your loved ones' homes. The Easter Bunny can even make a guest appearance with the delivery for a fabulous photo op for your kids! A portion of all proceeds from the Easter Bunny add-on will be donated to Hopalong Hollow Rabbit Rescue in Norwalk, Conn.

"For all of the businesses I've owned over the years, we have always donated to local nonprofits in order to give back to the community," Mitchell stated. Along with a team of dedicated volunteers, Mitchell has raised thousands of dollars over the years for charities including Ann's Place for Cancer, Dylan's Wings of Change, Sandy Hook Promise, Newtown Strong Therapy Dogs, the Greater Danbury Irish Cultural Center, and more.
Gourmet goodies such as hand-dipped chocolate peanut butter bunnies, chocolate-dipped Peeps, and chocolate-dipped Easter Oreos will satiate your sweet tooth and is sure to bring lots of "smiles across the miles" as their motto says.
