Things Remembered Review & Giveaway

If you’re looking for a personalized gift, Things Remembered is probably one of the first places you think of looking. For my parents’ 25th anniversary I got them a beautiful silver photo album engraved with their wedding date – they loved it!

Mother’s Day is right around the corner so you’re probably trying to think of the perfect item to give your mom. Things Remembered has a lot of great options, like:

• Fashion Birthstone Jewelry – A birthstone holds special meaning for new mothers. Choose from a FashionBirthstone Locket Necklace or a Bracelet, both intricately crafted with woven silver finished links. Choose a birthstone for her newborn—or make it all about mom with one for her birth month.
• Leaves & Vines Perfume Atomizer – Now moms on-the-go can freshen up in style. This perfume atomizer perfectly fits miniature perfume samples that typically get in the bottom of her purse. This accessory features debossed leaves and hand-set crystals, and the pattern makes a perfect backdrop for a special engraved message to tell mom how beautiful she is.
• Mother Water Globe – The relationship between a mother and child is one that is cherished their entire lives. And this water globe is treasured for its handcrafted design and intricate detail. This gift is musical! It plays Beethoven’s Fur Elise. Engrave it with lyrics of your own.
• Mom Float Frame – For home or office, here’s how to show the world who holds a very important place in your life. Give this classic “Mom” frame as a gift this Mother’s Day! Include your favorite 4″ x 6″ photo of the kids or a fun vacation memory. Add a name and a few heartfelt words to the engraving plate to make this gift speak for you each time it’s admired.

Another option is the USB Photo Keychain. I got a chance to review the key chain and was really impressed with its quality. This silver-plated key chain opens up to show a frame that holds a 1.1” x .8” picture, along with a hidden 2 gig USB drive. Both the front and interior portion of the key chain can be engraved with a special message. I had my name engraved on the front of mine, and the inside portion says, “My Guys” with a photo of Brian and the boys.

I love that this has a USB drive included in it! I can store photos, videos, or any other files that I want easy access to. It’s securely held within the key chain by a magnet, and is really thin so the key chain is not bulky at all. If you give this as a gift, it would be really fun to load special photos on to the USB drive as a surprise.

One lucky reader will win one of the following items that I mentioned above (you get to choose!) – personalization is included:

• Things Remembered USB Photo Key Chain
• Things Remembered Fashion Birthstone Necklace
• Things Remembered Fashion Birthstone Bracelet
• Things Remembered Perfume Atomizer
• Things Remembered Mother Water Globe
• Things Remembered Mom Float (Photo) Frame
