Easter Basket Gift Ideas with I See Me!

Chocolate!

We all love candy and sweets on holidays like Easter, but parents want to give real Personalisiertes Geschenk, or personalized gifts. It is a tricky task to find ones that are so useful, ones that can be enjoyed throughout the year. It can be hard to come up with gift ideas, however, which is why many websites exist with pre-made lists to help us think ahead.

This Easter make the smart choice and give the gift of personalized games and books from I See Me!

I See Me! is one of MamatheFox’s favorite brands. Their collection of gifts and books is always growing and and changing. They make personalized gifts so easy that you will be going back for more over and over again.

They allow you to add a picture of your child to some of their book – which is thrilling to my children. When they see their own faces, and the faces of their loved ones on a book, they are more engulfed into the message and listen more intently. The personalized images make them feel special, important and loved.

My 2 top picks for your children’s Easter Basket this year are brand new products from I See Me! The Our Family’s Race Across the USA board game and the My Little Love Bug and Love Notes set

The Our Family’s Race Across the USA board game

This is a super exciting new board game that is sure to make your family full of joy. You can create up to 6 personalized player game pieces with photos of your family. MamatheFox has a family of 4, so we have 2 other character faces that were provided to give us the full 6 player set of pieces.

My kids are 4 years old and 5 years old and are very much into games right now. They love to play games every day. Since adding in Our Family’s Race Across the USA into the rotation I am not minding playing along.

The game board folds open to show a colorful, wiggly path which you must travel on to get to the final destination, Washington D.C! As you move along your family will see their own names incorporated throughout the board, which is wonderful for preschoolers learning to read, write and spell their own names.

You move by picking up little cards which display either 1 or 2 colored squares, which are the same option of colors in the board, moving along the path towards the end. Some fun images are mixed in with the colored square, which can allow you to move to different areas on the board as you select them.

If your child likes games like Candyland and Shoots and Ladders, then this is the perfect new game for your house.

At only $29.99, this makes the most exciting personalized gift you may ever buy!

The My Little Love Bug and Love Notes set

The Love Note set is the most entertaining way to leave notes for your school ages child in their lunchbox! Each week I try to remember to write a little note on a napkin and place it in their lunchbox. Letting them know I love them, Jesus loves them and a reminder to be a super great kid at school. With these pre-made, and personalized Love Notes, I can simply place one in their lunch box. I love how easy they are to use and my kids love how the feeling they get when they see a personalizes note, with their face on it, in their lunchbox!

Each note is on a 4×6 card and (as long as they are kept clean) can be reused over and over again.

The Loves Notes set also comes with a the Little Lovebug book. The book can be personalized with up to two names, which is great for our family as we have only 2 children. The book includes their names and photos, showing them how much you love them.

The other half of this set is a custom book “Out Little Lovebugs”

This book can have two different children included in the story. Both parents are also featured as characters, truly giving this book a family feel. When I showed this book to my 4 year old son his eyes popped open wide and his grin when ear to ear! He was thrilled to see his face and name on the front cover. When we started to read the story and he saw his mom and dad’s face in the pictures along with his sister he was ecstatic!! He would point to our faces and announce who it was as each page was turned.

This book is more of a Valentine’s Day theme, but can be loved and enjoyed all year round.

Planning for the Best

Purple Trail is one of the coolest websites/services I’ve ever had the privilege of using. This site gives you customizable stationary and gifts made to meet your every need. Their high-quality materials, fine paper, and state-of-the-art printing methods allow them to stand out from other companies. They offer so many options to choose from including: invitations, cards, planners, stationery, and gifts. If you are looking for something more specific, such as a cool letter opener, you may want to additionally check out websites such as polaroidfotobar.com for help.

 

I’ll be focusing on planners for this review; specifically monthly planners.

When I received the planner it came wrapped in bubble wrap with a cute little sticker on it. Fully protected with no scratches or dings.

Ranging from three different sizes, you can find a planner that is the prefect fit for you. There are different planner categories for each size too, as you can see in the image.

 

The steps in creating your planner are fairly simple and easy to follow. Four steps are as seen in the image below.

Step 1:

Choose the size, cover type, and quantity you want. This is also where you do your personalization. Click the green button to fully personalize. This is where it gets fun!

The options are literally endless. There are so many colors, designs, backgrounds, and fonts to choose from. You can even add your own photos to the design!

Step 2:

Here you choose the inside color theme – colorful or neutral grey, inside page options, the start month, and whether you want stickers or a pocket folder.

Step 3:

Choose up to four add-ons here! These will be added to the end of your planner. The full list of add-on options is listed below.

Step 4:

Take your pick of extra stickers, pens, and accessories to complete your planner.


I would suggest using your computer to design your planner; but they do have an app that you can use too.


I love the layout of the monthly planner. The boxes are just large enough to write out what I need to. I chose the monthly planner so that the planner wouldn’t be so thick. I take my planner everywhere with me, so I don’t want it to be more heavy than it needs to.

Another plus is that the monthly planners are 24 months rather than 12. This is great because I don’t have to buy a planner every year. I’ll take money saving anywhere I can get it!

 

There are thick tabs that separate each year and each add on. These tabs are heavy duty and very easy to grab and flip with your fingers.

 

 

These planners are perfect for someone who really loves and needs a good paper planner. The more you personalize, the more expensive the planner becomes. So, if you’re really dedicated to a paper planner, this is defiantly the one to go with.

 

 


The Magic of My Name – Personalized Books

Personalized books featuring your child’s name and the meaning behind each letter

Children love to see and hear their own name. When a child see’s their own name in a book it’s a form of ownership to them and builds confidence. The book grabs their attention and pulls them deeper into the story. The Magic of My Name books create a story around the letters in your child’s name.  Having different letters represent a characteristic of that child. I really love the concept of giving the child more words to describe themselves. Larger vocabularies help children in their reading and verbal skills. Using fun adjectives, the story progresses as the child takes a journey thorough a magical land.

What I love:

  • The bright colors and visual designs on each page
  • The use of larger, descriptive words which helps increase a child’s vocabulary
  • That you can choose the hair color and skin color of the child featured in the book
  • The child in the book gains confidence in themselves, which shows your child how great they are too
  • Fast shipping

What I would change:

  • The purchaser could choose the word representing the letter in the names/the story themes (I did not like a tea leaf reader in the book myself)
  • The child’s name is used throughout the book more. My daughter kept asking me why I kept saying “the child” instead of her name
  • The child’s name is on the cover, so if you have multiple kids you can see which book that one is featuring from the outside.

Magic of My Name will create a beautiful, customized book for you. You will love the adventure you walk through, as each book is guaranteed to contain at least 38 pages, regardless of how many letters are in your child’s name. Having a short name, like Max or Sam will not cause you to get a shorter, or lesser quality book.
