Are you still looking for the perfect gift? Why not head over to Hallmark and pick up something that means so much and costs so less; oh – and that you can customize? Here are some of my ultimate favorite things that Hallmark has this holiday season. Of all the gifts to give, give a smile and Hallmark can help!
Recordable Storybooks: The Recordable Storybooks feature voice capture technology that records the reader’s voice directly into the book (the holiday version of the Recordable Storybook captures a reading of the classic “The Night Before Christmas.”) When a child turns a page, the book automatically plays the text in the reader’s voice. In addition to making a great keepsake, the Recordable Storybook may be useful for parents in the military, parents on the road for work or grandparents, aunts and uncles who are miles away from a child during the holidays.
DVD Greetings: Hallmark DVD Greetings are an interactive approach to the holiday newsletter. Each DVD Greeting hosts a template that can be edited and customized with personal photos, burned to the included DVD and sent with a coordinating greeting card (also included).
Digital Scrapbooks: The Digital Scrapbooks incorporate music, photos and text with personal photos which can then be displayed on a digital photo frame, computer screen, television or anywhere a USB drive can be used.
Recordable Cards: More than 30 holiday Recordable Cards both With and Without Music are available from Hallmark. Each allows the sender to record a 10-second voice message directly into the card which the recipient will hear when opened. The Recordable Cards with Music also feature a 30-second song clip which plays after the message.
I can tell you that after we had the opportunity to check these new products out, we went and picked up a few of these for our family for gifts. What grandparent can resist a recordable card with their grandchild’s little voice on it?

About Tanya
The Recordable Storybook seems like such a great idea! I actually tried to get one on 11/23 and they were all sold out in my city. Needless to say I was very bummed! I had intended to get one for each of my two girls, and my husband and I were each going to read one so they would have both our voices recorded.
Maybe next year!
