Using Your Heads {Review & Giveaway}

Using Your Heads is a company started by mom with a background in elementary education that personalizes in both coloring books and address labels. What makes her company different? Not only do they personalize with names, they also use images. For addresses labels that might mean your family photo or child's artwork is in the background. For the coloring books, Using Your Heads will make a cartoon character out of your child! The results are truly amazing. They are also very customer service orientated and therefore flexible and willing to accommodate special requests such as multiple children. We received the Alphabet Adventure coloring book, personalized for Lucian. When I saw his face as a cartoon I could help but beam. I don't know why but seeing him in that way instead of a photo made it extra special. He looks so cute as a cartoon! Lucian knew immediately it was him and enjoyed looking through the coloring book like it was a regular book. He would get excited about what he was doing on the pages such as, "Look, Lucian is upside down. Oh, it's a egg, it's an egg. I squeeze it! Lucian is in the choo choo train!". There were also personalized touches added throughout such as his name on his lab coat in on the D is for Doctor page.
Using Your Heads recommends making copies of the coloring book so you can lengthen the enjoyment. At only $13.95 I think it it is a great value for such a special and fun gift! I definitely want to get one for my nephew.
We also got a set of 30 personalized addresses labels that included Lucian's head and his name and address. This will be perfect for invitations, thank you cards, you name it! They would also be great to put on some of belongings. Using Your Heads even surprised me by including a column with Warren too! I know some Grandmas who are going to love to find them on their cards. They just make me smile!

Using Your Heads would like to give one of my readers their choice of coloring book and 30 address labels for one lucky child!

I think a time machine option would be awesome. ;) Your kid "through the ages" as a caveman, or 14th century Princess, or a Dickens character. Or a 1920's flapper. It'd be awesome. :)
