Things Remembered Mother’s Day Giveaway

April 28, 2011 By


Things Remembered is the nation’s leading, and most successful, retailer of personalized gifts. For over 40 years, Things Remembered has provided their customers with unique, memorable gifts for all occasions.  Mother’s Day is no exception;  Things Remembered has hundreds of  Mother’s Day gifts that would be perfect for your Mom, Grandma, Sister, BFF, or even for yourself!

Mother Water Globe
For this giveaway, Things Remembered offered me my choice of items to review, and I chose this incredible Mother Water Globe which is also a music box! It says “Mother” inside, and then there’s a plaque to engrave a message or saying. I chose “There is no limit to the love a mother’s heart can hold.” Underneath is the winder for the music box, then on the outside is another engravable area. I told my kids we were going to pretend they had bought it for me – hope I didn’t ruin their gift idea! I chose:

Happy Mother’s Day 2011!
Ryan, Nathan and Kaitlyn

Click the link for the Water Globe to go to the Things Remembered site where there is a short video you can watch of the globe spinning and playing “Fur Elise”. I think it’s absolutely beautiful!

    Mother’s Day Giveaway – $50 to ProFlowers.com

    April 27, 2011 By

    For many people, the Mother’s Day holiday means sending flowers, and ProFlowers has absolutely amazing bouquets of Mother’s Day Flowers, as well as plants, bulbs, wreaths, and more. ProFlowers has a network of local florists ready to deliver fresh flowers right to your door (or Mom’s door)!

    I was thrilled when ProFlowers asked me to review an item from their site. I picked the  Deluxe All the Frills bouquet, which comes with 7 light pink roses, 5 dark pink roses, 4 pink alstroemeria, 3 green Anastasia mums, and 3 stems of ruscus. You can choose no vase or for an additional charge, have the flowers delivered with your choice of vase. I chose the beautiful Garden Green Glass vase, which sets off the flowers beautifully.

    My flowers arrived in a large rectangular box. Inside, I found the flowers carefully wrapped and secured, plus the vase, directions, and two packets of plant food. The only thing I had to do was cut an inch off the bottom of each stem and pour the first packet of plant food into the water before placing the flowers in the vase. The second packet of plant food went into a clean change of water after three days.

    I absolutely recommend you look at the ProFlowers site if you are thinking about sending your Mom flowers for Mother’s Day. I was very impressed with how fresh and well packaged my bouquet was. Even though the roses are starting to droop, I still have the vase where I can see it because the flowers are so pretty!

    CONNECT AND SAVE: “Like” ProFlowers on Facebook and get a coupon for 20% off your order!

    WIN IT! ProFlowers gave me a $50 gift code to give away to one lucky reader!  Enter by May 4th ’11 at 11:59 p.m. EST.

    MAIN ENTRY: For your main entry, visit ProFlowers and browse the Mother’s Day Flowers & Favorites, then come back here and tell me which bouquet you like best! This must be done before any bonus entries will count. Comments left with keywords instead of a real first name or blog name will be DELETED, no exceptions.

    Mother’s Day Gift Guide – Point 101 Photos on Canvas

    March 1, 2010 By

    Mother’s Day is March 14th, time to start thinking about a terrific gift!  This year, surprise your wife or mom with one of her favorite photos on canvas from Point 101.  Imagine her surprise at unwrapping a beautiful, ready to hang canvas print of her favorite photo!  Created by photographers, Point 101 provides the highest quality printing at affordable prices, guaranteed!

    About the company:

    Point101 has established itself as the UK’s leading canvas printing service. We are able to combine superior high definition canvas prints with excellent customer service and a pioneering virtual upload system. We believe canvas prints are an affordable way to showcase art, photography and commercial images in large format. Our canvas printing service is used by professional photographers, interior designers, businesses and individuals alike.

    Point 101 uses fade-free, archival inks printed in 1440 dpi, on bright white canvas, hand stretched over artist-grade pine stretcher bars, to produce canvas prints that will look stunning in any room of the house.  What a perfect way to display a  family portrait or a candid photo that captures a special family moment! 

    You can choose from a wide variety of sizes and shapes to fit any area. Choose from standard, square, or panoramic for your photo shape, then decide if you want your canvas printing to be Small, Medium, Large, Extra-Large, or King Size! Because Point 101 is a U.K. company, the sizes are in centimeters, so make sure to calculate your size accordingly.

    What I like best about the site is how easy they’ve made it to create your order. You upload your image, choose your size and layout, preview what the final print will look like, make any changes if necessary, then you are done!  Pretty darn easy. 

    Don’t delay, get your order in now for a canvas print from Point 101! If you live in the U.K., shipping is free. Otherwise, check their Shipping page for prices and shipping estimates.  It’s a terrific Mother’s Day (or any day!) gift for someone you love!
