Hallmark Review & Giveaway

Sometimes it can be the little things that mean the most, especially during the holidays. That is why I love Hallmark products. They always seem to express just how your feeling with a few simple words or a cheerful picture. This holiday season we will be making Christmas morning a lot more meaningful when we gift Hallmark products to some very special people.
Hallmark sent us a few of their new Holiday items to review. While I knew the awesomeness of their Recordable Cards, I had no idea about their DVD Greetings or Digital Scrapbooks. So when they arrived I could not wait to learn more about them!

Since times are tough for many families this Christmas, ours included, I feel like we need to be grateful for what we do have. And the number one thing on my list? Princess P. She has brought smiles to everyone's face when smiling was the furthest thing from their minds. She has the ability to spread happiness with just a single action. Whether it be leaning over to give you a kiss or wearing my high heel shoes. And don't even get me started on her dancing. It will literally make you laugh until you cry. So what better way to preserve those moments than on a DVD Greetings from Hallmark. Each DVD Greetings hosts a template that can be edited and customized with personal photos. Then you burn it to the included DVD and send with the coordinating card. (You do need to have a computer DVD burner and internet access to create this DVD Greeting.)
The DVD Greetings we received reads "At this jolly holiday season, we have so many things to be happy about... especially the gift of a certain little someone in our lives." How perfect is that? And it is super simple to create and burn. The only hard part is narrowing down the (20) photos to be included in it. I cannot wait to give this to Princess P's grandparents and see the look on their faces. Especially when they hear that the card is set to the tune of "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"! This is such a great way to get a little pick-me-up when you are feeling blue.
Another item we received to review from Hallmark was the Digital Scrapbook in the Baby theme. This is the perfect way to show off your newest addition to family and friends. Simply plug the USB drive into your computer, download the software application, enter your access code and create your scrapbook by adding your favorite photos, words, and music to the 50+ designed slides. This scrapbook can be viewed on your digital frame, computer or TV. You can purchase the Digital Frame in 5 themes including: Holiday, Family, Friend, Baby Boy or Girl, and Love.
I have wanted to get a Recordable Card for Princess P's grandparents since she started to talk. I can only imagine them opening it up to hear a joyful greeting from their littlest grandchild. So when I received two Recordable Cards with Music from Hallmark I knew exactly who they were going to and exactly what they were going to say. I knew the process of recording the message was going to be easy, it was getting the person who was recording the message to say what they were supposed say that was the hard part. With A Lot of coaching, Princess P was finally able to record a holiday greeting. When Christmas morning comes both our parents will receive a card with the most precious greeting "Mer-me pist-mas" followed by "Winter Wonderland" or "We Wish You A Merry Christmas"
