A holiday to remember with Things Remembered

Some of the best gifts that you can give are the ones that take the extra step, that show the extra thought and gifts that can be engraved and treasured forever are priceless. Things Remembered offers a great selection of engravable gifts for all sorts of occasions, with quite a few perfect for this holiday season.

First off, from Things Remembered, you'll not only find things that are personal, but you'll find things that are FESTIVE! I love love love this Snowman Water Globe, and of course, its engravable. How cute is he?? And of course, even more festive... he plays "White Christmas!!" He's definitely cool cause you don't have to shake him to keep the snow going, there's a little motor inside that keeps the snow flying always!

Then there's something for ladies of all ages, Things Remembered has a beautiful custom couture collection of necklaces and bracelets. You can take your pick of freshwater pearls or simply sterling silver and customize your pieces with accents and engraving. I was able to pick one of these for my daughter, her first piece of "real" jewelry and I got her something so classic that I think she's going to be able to treasure for a long time. She got the 18" necklace with the heart charm engraved with her initial, along with a butterfly accent piece, this is simply stunning! Though round pendants are also available for engraving as well and many other accent charms!You can also purchase something at Things Remembered that will help others with each time that someone picks one up. Max the Make-A-Wish bear isn't just another pretty face, he's got heart behind him and his waterglobe plays "When You Wish Upon A Star." (one of my faves!) With each purchase of a Max, $2 will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and kudos to Things Remembered for guaranteeing a minimum donation of $250,000 this year. That's a lot of money to help make kids dreams come true. One of Max's feet has a heart embroidered on it and the other a Make-A-Wish logo, knowing that you're doing something wonderful by helping to contribute to Make-A-Wish.

My Fruit Roll-Ups = Your Fruit Roll-Ups

*** COMMENTS ARE CLOSED AND A WINNER WILL BE CONTACTED SHORTLY! THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!!***

My Boug was soooo excited when I told her that I had a surprise for her and to come sit with me at the computer. Usually I'm "all-work" at the computer and she knows not to be too much of a pest when I'm sitting at my desk. I pulled up the My Fruit Roll-Ups website and she immediately said "Fruit Roll-Ups?? What are we gonna do?" I filled her in about the super new thing that Fruit Roll-Ups does now where you can personalize your own Fruit Roll-Ups!

She sat on my lap for about 10 minutes or so while we scrolled through all of the designs and options to put on her Fruit Roll-ups. She finally decided on a "rock star" background and also put a picture of our own on them. So we looked through our pictures stored on the computer and Boug decided that she wanted to put on a picture of her with her brother, even though he's too little to eat Fruit Roll-Ups. *Melt My Heart Here*
This is the picture that she chose-


Here's the preview from the website-


And today they arrived!! Boug was so excited and lucky for her, they showed up from UPS right after lunch, perfect timing for an afternoon snack!!


They came out so great, the picture is such a cute personal touch! They shipped pretty quick for being a personalized item! As of today it says on their website, receipt is by 1/26, so two weeks? Not a bad turnaround!!

Shipping is reasonable, and $29.99 for 30 personalized Fruit Roll-Ups put on your doorstep? Not a bad price at all!!

Want to personalize your own? I have a code for a free package of My Fruit Roll-Ups to give to one winner!

To enter, leave a comment on this post with how you would personalize yours! Valentine's Day? Birthday? A special treat for someone? Have you checked out the graphics available and there's one you want to use? Let me know!!

Leave another comment letting me know that you voted for the cause!! Or for another extra entry, you can blog about this giveaway and give me the link in a separate comment!!

Edited to add--- Boug realized today that just like the regular "tongue tattoo" fruit roll-ups, these ones also tattoo your tongue if you put the picture onto it. It was pretty weird, but kinda funny to look at my daughters tongue and see a picture of her and her brother on it!!!
