The Perfect Choice For Meaningful Gifts This Holiday Season #HolidayGiftGuide

As a mother, I feel the most meaningful gifts are those that celebrate the things I hold dear. That is why hand stamped jewelry is so popular and makes such a thoughtful gift. I recently discovered aka Originals Hand Stamped Jewelry.

As I looked through the rings, bracelets, necklaces, money clips, key rings and more, I was really impressed. I wanted something that would be able to fit the names of all five of my children. The Personalized Name Cuff Bracelet would allow me to have their names stamped into it and it came in a variety of finishes.

I chose to go with the Nu Gold which is a brass alloy that has been specially formulated for jewelry. The rich warm color resembles gold which is what I normally wear so it goes well with my rings and necklaces without the high cost of gold. Nu Gold contains 85% copper and 15% zinc and is nickel free.

The bracelet has room for 125 characters including spaces and punctuation and is 3/8″ wide. I was very impressed when it arrived. It has hearts between the names and on the ends. It has a very rich look and matched my gold jewelry nicely. It is a beautiful reminder of the importance of family and a great conversation piece. If you are looking for a special gift for someone, check out the aka Originals Website.

We think a piece of hand stamped jewelry from aka Originals is such a great gift idea we are adding it to Mommy Ramblings’ 2016 Holiday Gift Guide. That’s not all, we are having a giveaway and you can enter for your chance to win a bracelet just like this. You can choose from copper or Nu Gold finish.

Make Christmas Magical For Your Kids With Portable North Pole!

Every year my kids look forward to watching videos from Santa created especially for them. Since my son Luke has a birthday on Christmas Eve as well, he loves the special birthday video Santa sends him each year. I look forward to their faces as they watch and hear their names, see their house, their photo and photos of what they want for Christmas. The videos are well made and believable. It is a magical thing and I look forward to creating them each year with Portable North Pole.

Last year we tried the calls too and were very impressed at how well they worked to remind our kids about some behaviors they needed to work on. A call from Santa can be quite a powerful wake up call!

It is an online platform used by Santa and his elves to send personalized video messages and calls to the people you most care about anywhere in the world.

But that isn’t all Santa and his magical elves have in store! To create truly unforgettable memories, you can even download a HD version of your video to keep for years to come.

Portable North Pole comes available in 3 main package types: the Free (Christmas and Birthday videos), the Video Pass (Unlimited Premium Santa videos + Reaction Recorder, as well as access to previous seasons’ videos), and the Magic Pass (Unlimited Premium Santa Videos, Reaction Recorder, HD Video downloads, access to previous seasons’ videos)!

See The Special Way We Wished Our Son More For His Graduation & I See Me! Personalized Book Giveaway

We celebrated our son Luke’s kindergarten graduation this year and for his graduation presents he got a big Jurassic Park dinosaur set but we wanted to also give him something that would be a great keepsake of the day and be really special. I See Me! Personalized Books are so great for occasions like this. After browsing their huge selection of books I chose I Wish You More by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld.

This book is full of endless good wishes for our son. We uploaded a photo of him and put a personalized inscription inside the book and his name appeared throughout the book in multiple places. This truly was a one-of-a kind gift for celebrating his graduation because I Wish You More applauds effort, achievement, and love, and wishes readers “more ups than downs” and “more give than take.”

He loved this book and he loves for us to read it with him and find all the Luke names in the book. He loves to find his name written on the sand on the beach, on the sidewalk, on a plaque on the wall and more as well as throughout the text of the story.

If you are looking for a special gift that will be treasured then check out I See Me! They have so many great titles that are perfect to celebrate new babies, big brothers and sisters, birthdays, baptisms, graduations and more!

Personalized gifts are so special to kids. Something uniquely theirs, something they don’t need to share or hand down, but something created just for them! What better way to celebrate a milestone like the first day of school then with a personalized lunch box packed with personality! I See Me! has added a new product to their line, personalized lunch boxes. They don’t just have to be for little ones in school what a great new baby present personalized and packed with a cute outfit or to give a child to house a special collection, there are just so many uses.

We were thrilled to be asked to review these new lunch boxes and choose the Dino design that I had personalized for Luke. We also reviewed a new personalized sports placemat that I had personalized for Ethan.

Both items arrived recently and they are absolutely adorable. The colors are vibrant and crisp and the personalization makes for such special memories. The placemat is perfect for my little sports fan, and makes a cheery place at the table for him to start his day off right and end it on a high note. Placemats are easy to wipe clean even after the messiest eaters. So many great styles to choose from make it easy to find something that celebrates that special child.

The Dino Lunch Box is so cute and the little chalkboard on the inside of the lid makes for a lot of fun. Send your child off to school with it and include special notes each day they can look forward to. It’s also a great treasure box for your child’s most special belongings or collections and makes them a breeze to tote around. Great for traveling to hold some special activities or toys.

Buzzworthy Baby, Personalized Art For Buzzworthy Kids, Review & Giveaway!!!

Do you want something for your baby’s room that celebrates them and your family? Something that will remain a treasured keepsake of their unique arrival into your family?

It is so easy to order your special Buzzworthy Baby art, you simply choose the style, color options and then go through the form adding the personal details that will be painted on the piece. I was very lucky to be able to recieve a wall canvas and a framed art piece. They are both absolutely precious and so special. The pieces celebrate the child’s date of birth, birth weight, delivering doctor, siblings, pets and more.

I have to say that the framed print was impossible to get a photo of, the glare was so distracting, no matter what I tried, I could not eliminate it. The pictures do not do the piece justice and I had to try and crop and show you parts of it but still it does not look anything like the beautiful piece it is. I may try again and see if I can get some better pictures and update.

Measures 16×20 and hangs horizontally
Comes in a high quality white metal frame
Covered with child-safe shatterproof plexiglass

RedEnvelope Unique and Personalized Gifts Review!!!

RedEnvelope was launched in 1999, with the mission to make gift giving for every occasion easy and fun. The name RedEnvelope comes from a firmly held belief in Asian cultures that the color red is an auspicious symbol of happiness. Gifts are often presented in a simple red envelope – a timeless tradition that carries with it well wishes of prosperity, good fortune, appreciation and love.

I recently placed an order with RedEnvelope. I ordered 2 long sleeve kid’s States T-Shirts for my 2 little guys and a personalized Christmas Ornament. I thought the State T-Shirts were so cool. My five-year old loves to identify states and so having New York featured prominently on the front along with his name and in his favorite color, make this shirt a big hit. I also ordered one for my three-year old in his favorite color. The third thing I ordered was a personalized ceramic rectangular Family Christmas ornament which I had personalized with all seven of our names. This ornament is very nice but the imprinting on the ceramic is at a bit of an angle, it is also a little hard to see the names since they are just imprinted without color so everything is the same color. Other than that, it hangs from a red ribbon and comes packaged in a red drawstring bag.

You will find so many great gift ideas from RedEnvelope, they really have something for anyone even your pets!

I was provided with a gift code in which to order the items above but my opinions are my own.
