Mother’s Day Gift Idea! Things Remembered Customizable Music Box *Giveaway* (Closed)

May 4, 2010 By Tanya 86 Comments

Mother’s Day is literally just around the corner. What are you going to get mom, grandma, step-mom, or that mother figure in your life? I, myself, love personalized things because they hold so much meaning. Things Remembered is here to help you with that perfect gift, no matter what your budget is!

We had the blessed opportunity to check out a gorgeous Customizable Music Box, and I have to say that I am in awe! Grandma will be shocked and so in love when she sees this!

Things Remembered Music Box Mommy Goggles

MG Details

Customizable Music Box – Did mom sing to you as a child? Relive those memories with a gift of song. A new collection of customizable music boxes plays clips of actual artist recordings – complete with lyrics, instruments and vocals – making them different from traditional music boxes that merely play a tune. One fitting option for Mother’s Day is the classic “I Just Called to Say I Love You” by Stevie Wonder.

Louis Armstrong’s voice will put her in a great mood as she gets ready in the morning, choosing her jewelry for the day. This is a perfect gift for a good friend, sister, mom, aunt or your sweetheart. Once personalized, this is a gift she’ll hold onto forever

  • Keep browsing for more songs, including “My Girl,” Love Me Tender” and “Unchained Melody.
  • Soft black interior is elegant and spacious to hold many rings, bracelets and necklaces
  • Large surface was designed to look great when engraved
  • Includes three AAA batteries.

MG thoughts

I chose to have the song: “Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong added to this beautiful music box. To me, it was fitting for grandma! On the engraving, I have to be honest and tell you that I had no clue what to add on the engraving. The kids’ love their grandma! I searched just about everywhere and saw this quote that was just fitting:

“Grandma, you make the world a brighter place!”

Here is a video to show you some of the size, detail, engraving and music playing.

I absolutely love this music jewelry box! The size is bigger than I was expecting. The clarity is stunning. The engraving is perfect. The price is affordable and Grandma (or mom, aunt, whoever you choose to gift to) will fall in love at first site!

    Another great gift for a grandmother or mother is “Eye of My Heart: 27 Writers Reveal the Hidden Pleasures and Perils of Being a Grandmother,” edited by Barbara Graham.

    It’s a wonderful book that explodes a lot of myths about mothers, grandmothers and grandparents. I’ve read it too, in order to understand the perspective of the “”Grands”" in our family. I love it! It’s in paperback now.

    Graham also has a column at grandparenting.com. It’s easiest to find the column through her websitewww.barbaragrahamonline.com.
