Holiday 2010 Giveaway: Things Remembered Digital Photo Key Chain [CLOSED]

Do you know a man or a woman who needs to give up those space-consuming photos in their purse or wallet? Here is an elegant, personalized, and affordable gift. I speak of the Digital Photo Key Chain from Things Remembered. If you are a fan of gifting picture frames with your favorite photo in it, then this is just a modern version of that gift. The only difference is that you can give not just one photo, but up to 100 photos and the recipient can carry these photos with them everywhere they go.



The software is easy to use. You simply connect the key chain to your computer with the included USB cable. It is best that you put all the photos you would like to upload into a separate folder otherwise it will create thumbnails for every photo in your folder and that could be time-consuming. Once loaded, the key chain will automatically provide you with a slide show of all your photos when powered on. You can also use the arrows to tab through your photos one by one. This key chain has a 1-1/2 hour battery life and can charge through the USB cable while connected to your computer.


What sets this digital photo key chain apart from others is that it can be engraved with a name, date, or a personal message on the back. Ours will be a gift for my mother-in-law from our children, so we engraved it with a message from all three plus their names.


To view their vast selection of personalized gifts, visit ThingsRemembered.com . This digital key chain retails for $30.00, but is being offered for a limited time for just $19.99 . Currently, you can receive Free Ground Shipping on orders of $100 or more.

Giveaway & Review: Things Remembered Personalized Grill Set [CLOSED]

I don't know about you, but I personally find shopping for men's gifts to be far more difficult than shopping for women or children. The main problem is that most of what men want (power tools, electronics, tech items, etc . . . ) seem to cost a lot more money than I am able to spend. Luckily, Things Remembered has a wide array of gifts to choose from for under $75, under $50, under $20, and even some under $10.




Since my husband enjoys grilling, I thought that this personalized grilling tools set would be the perfect gift for him. It is much nicer than the one he had and, since these tools are presented so beautifully in this personalized storage case, I think he will take much better care of them (rather than forgetting about them and leaving them outside). I chose to have the box engraved with our surname, but you can opt for a longer personalization in a smaller font size.


This set comes with four essential grilling tools . . . a spatula (which can also be engraved), tongs, a fork, and a basting brush.


The wooden storage box is lined with a soft fabric and elasticized straps to keep the tools in place. The handles of the tools are made of artificial wood and come with straps for hanging. The spatula has a serrated edge for cutting meat and the bristles of the basting brush are silicone.


This set comes in a cardboard Things Remembered box that you can either wrap or just put a bow on it for easy gift-giving. My husband is usually very practical when it comes to functional things like cooking tools. He likes things to work well, to be sturdy, and easy to care for. This BBQ set is all those things.


Visit ThingsRemembered.com or your local Things Remembered store location to view their full line of gifts for Dad. For a limited time, you can received Free Shipping on U.S. orders of $100 or more. This is perfect if you need to buy for your husband, your own Dad, and your father-in-law this year. Be sure to check the estimated shipping dates on the bottom left of each product page to make sure you can get your gift sent on time for Father's Day, which is June 20th this year.


Thank you to Things Remembered for sending us a sample grill set free of charge to base this review upon and for providing a second set for our contest prize.


What you can win:
One lucky reader will receive a personalized BBQ Grill Set (ARV $65).

Giveaway & Review: Things Remembered "Race Car Water Globe" [CLOSED]

As we get closer to Christmas, the amount of time left to order personalized gifts online is growing shorter and shorter. Things Remembered ships all personalized items within 3 business days. That is remarkable compared to many other sites, which have a disclaimer that it could take up to 2 to 3 weeks to ship your personalized gifts. If you are a last minute shopper, you can also visit your local Things Remembered store location to place your order.





Things Remembered offers personalized gift ideas for pretty much everyone on your list. They offer 30 different gifts for boys alone. This Race Car Water Globe was a perfect choice for our kindergartner who is obsessed with cars.


You can insert 2 photos back-to-back inside the water globe filled with glitter. I chose to use the same school portrait on both sides, but it would be nice to use a baby picture on one side and then a current photo on the other.





I think this race car will surely be a cherished keepsake for my son. We had the personalization plate engraved with a special message for him. I can see him still proudly displaying this water globe on his desk 20 years from now.

One feature that I will expect to especially appeal to my son is that this race car has working tires.


I also want to point out that changing the photo is extremely easy. You need only to turn and remove the cover on the bottom and then remove the piece which holds the photos.


Here are additional gift ideas for the rest of the family . . .

The Things Remembered Custom Couture Jewelry includes both necklaces and bracelets. It is so easy to customize your jewelry. Simply select one of four different types of chains, of which one is a strand of pearls. Then just select an engravable pendant and a mini charm to top it off. Personalized jewelry would make a great gift for a mother, grandmother, a daughter, a favorite aunt, or a best friend.





A personal, but practical gift idea for a father, big brother, or best man would be this 1GB silver-plated Memory Stick Keychain. It can be personalized with a name on the front and a special message on the back. Every time the recipient plugs this flash drive into his computer, he will think of you.







Here is one of several gifts in the Things Remembered Make-A-Wish line. For every product sold from this special line of gifts, $2 will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This teddy bear water globe features Max Teddy Bear, who is both soft and posable. Plus the water globe can be personalized with a name and short message. This gift would be perfect for any member of the family and can be displayed all year round.



Here is another charming gift that would be suitable for almost anyone. It is a motorized rotating musical Snowman Water Globe. The song it plays is White Christmas and the snow blows without your having to shake the snowman. This nearly 8" snowman will surely put a smile on your loved one's face.




Visit your local Things Remembered store or browse ThingsRemembered.com for additional holiday gift ideas.



Thank you to Things Remembered for providing us with both a review product and a contest prize free of charge.
