The Priceless Gift! Frecklebox Review and Giveaway!

I love gifts that are special and unique, don't you? There is nothing like giving a thoughtful gift to a child. Something that you know they don't already have. Something that shows you thought of them and only them when you picked it out. Something they can keep forever. Frecklebox can help you achieve that with their wide selection of personalized gifts.

Frecklebox has books and from my previous post you know that I am a bit addicted to buying books for my boys. I especially love personalized books and while I may get lucky and find something in a store for Warren, you can bet I won’t be finding anything with Lucian unless I custom order.

The books at Frecklebox have such bright and vivid colors and the child’s name literally jumps off the page. The quality is amazing and you would think they mass produced each creation.

My favorite part of the ordering process was being able to see exactly what the book would look like with my son’s name. I don’t have to guess how the letters will display on the page, I can see it for myself before making my purchase.

We chose the My Name is... book for both of the boys. I just love all colorful images and since Lucian and I loved making letters in the snow this winter it seemed like the perfect fit for him. Lucian knows all of his letters by sight and is just now learning what letters make up his name. This will be a fun learning tool!

When I read this story for the first time to Lucian he was immediately drawn to the bright park picture. He was also thrilled about the moon! While we spelled out the letters of his name on the the pages, he was very excited that it was his name in the clouds, stones in sand, flowers in dirt, etc. He really got into the story and when we got to the park I said, L-U-C-I-A-N spells? His answer? PARK! While we still have some work to do, I know that he will get lots of practice with this book.

Frecklebox also has some amazing choices for other great gift ideas, perfect for any budget. I also received a puzzle sample and I was very much impressed by the quality. At only $12.95 and with lots of great designs choose from, I think I have another gift for Lucian's 3rd birthday later this summer. Yep, you guessed it. A park puzzle! Frecklebox also has personalized stickers, coloring books, growth charts, posters and more!

Frecklebox wants to give one of my readers their choice of any item from their site!

I love all the options they already have, but what about something about different modes of transportation (submarine, hot air balloon, spaceship, etc.) or places of the world (England, Egypt, China, etc.)?

My favorite book (for my son's age right now) is the "My Name Is..." book.

My step-sister had a book like this made for me when I was little and I thought it was the coolest thing EVER (I still have it!).

Love the "...Goes to the Zoo" book best. My 3-year-old son Tau (name means "lion") is just starting to build words ... he can recognize "zoo" among others and loves picking out his name on a page, so this would be perfect!

I love Goes to the Zoo, but I would pick My Name IS.... My little niece would love it so much. She loves anything that has her name on it. If we write her name on a piece of paper she carries it around all day.

I think an idea for Frecklebox for another book would be a sports themed one. Maybe that the child becomes a baseball player, another that he becomes football player, etc.

I LOVE the "My name is..." book. I am really considering getting that for my middle child for his birthday in October--if I won it even cooler!

ecaria at hotmail dot com

Gale said...

I have three boys, so I wish they had a book that could be equally about all three boys, not just about one person. A pirate story would be PERFECT (my boys are all into pirates...but if you had a pirate book I couldn't get it for just one, because the others would be jealous). Maybe even books with slightly different stories on the same subject so you could get siblings something similar without getting them the same book. You can let them know they can feel free to e-mail me if they ever do come out with something like that!
