Holiday Gift Ideas from Things Remembered *Review & Giveaway* (Closed)

When it comes to gifts for friends or family, I love getting something that is personalized and has a lot more meaning to me, as a gifter than seeing that ‘awwwww’ reaction from the person I gave a personalized gift to.

Things Remembered has a great line out for this holiday season that I am so excited to share with you!

We were able to personalize a gift, so we chose the Race Car Water Globe. This is great for little boys, or any race car fan. Hopefully my dad isn’t reading this, because they are huge racing fans and this is what Tucker picked out to give to Nana and Pa-Pa.

This water globe is shaped like a race car and doubles as a toy with its movable wheels. While, as a parent, I wouldn’t let my kids play with this, I am sure that Pa-Pa will be more than thrilled to have this on his desk at work with a picture of the kids in it! A water globe sits atop the driver’s seat and houses a photo of your little guy to make it look like he’s driving the car. The metallic silver body is accented with blue tints and racing stripes. http://tinyurl.com/lmbwoy

I love everything about this water globe! It is adorable and when we received it, it really is bigger than the pictures on the site make it appear at. I was honestly expecting something about the size of a computer mouse. This is more like the size a 5×7 frame in length and about a 3 ½ x 5 frame in height. Sorry – didn’t know a better way to compare to you the size of this. It is adorable and so pretty!

The quote that we chose to engrave was what you see in the stock image:

It’s not if you win the race, it’s how you drive the car! Love Tucker & Kambry

Perfect quote for the perfect gift!

Things Remembered has a few other gift ideas that I wanted to share with you as well that are great gift ideas!

• Max the “Make-A-Wish” Bear – Household budgets may be stretched, but consumers still want to support charitable organizations and give really great gifts. Now they can do both! Things Remembered celebrates its 12-year partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation with five exclusive gifts benefitting the Foundation, including Max, a fluffy white teddy bear. Max holds a delicate water globe in his paws with a message that reads “Wishes from the Heart.” A story card explains how Max brings and shares wishes with others. For every Make-A-Wish product sold, $2 will be donated back to the Foundation.
  
• Custom Couture Jewelry Collection – A new custom accessory! Gift givers first choose a bracelet or necklace in one of five designs, including a pearl or beaded chain. Then they add one of three engravable pendants and finish the accessory with a miniature, sparkling birthstone pendant, initial pendant with pearl accent, and/or one of six miniature charms, including a star, angel, cross, heart, butterfly or key.
• Push USB Drive – Personalized USB drives were among Things Remembered’s best sellers last holiday season. This year there’s a new kid on the block – a silver-plated and black matte key chain featuring a sleek, push-out USB drive that holds up to one gig of information without taking up a lot of physical space. Great for guys!
  
• Snowman Water Globe – Complete with button eyes, nose and mouth, this darling snow globe is designed to look like Frosty himself. A battery-operated auto blower spreads snowflakes continually inside the globe, while an engraving plate offers room for a special message.
  

We are all cutting back and trying to watch our dollars, especially this holiday season. Things Remembered is here to help us gift affordable and beautiful personalized gifts for just about anyone in the family.
