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!

    Promote Yourself with Personalized Promotional Products

    February 3, 2011 By

    If you are looking for an inexpensive way to advertise your business, organization, or event besides business cards, consider using promotional, personalized items like pens, cups, mugs, and other frequently-used items.  Amsterdam Printing has been in business for over 110 years and can guide you to the right product for your budget, taste, and occasion.

    Have you ever been in line behind someone at the post office and heard them muttering to themselves about needing a pen? What a great time to whip out your custom imprinted pen advertising your business! They might not notice it right away, but research shows that people do remember the names of of businesses on promotional products and will often do business with them.  With prices as low as $.59 each for personalized pens, you can afford to keep extras on hand to pass out wherever you are!

    My boys go through a ton of pencils, and if they get one from a visitor to their school, they usually show it to me. Which leads me to another of Amsterdam Printing’s products – personalized pencils.  From my time spent in the PTA, I know that fundraising provides a lot of money to schools, and coming up with products that kids will buy is tricky. Bic #2 pencils are $.39 each if you buy 500, and since you can sell them at school for $.50 each, you make a profit.  Get the pencils with the name of your school on them, and kids will snap them up at a fundraiser!

    For more promotional item ideas, check out GOPromos.com for mugs, stress balls, travel items, even dark chocolate covered cookies stamped “Thank You”.  There are just tons of ways to get the name of your business, organization or event seen by all kinds of people, for not a whole lot of money!  (By the way, for the bloggers reading this, if you are going to a blogging event or conference, make sure to check the rules first before ordering promotional items. They are not allowed at BlogHer, for example.)

    Personalized business cards, address labels, and more with VistaPrint

    July 5, 2008 By

    Ever since I first discovered VistaPrint, I have become a loyal customer. I’m on my THIRD box of 250 free business cards, plus I ordered really cute personalized magnets to hand out at events as well. VistaPrint can put your text and logo on everything from postcards to t-shirts, and they are a great source of cheap address labels, too. At Christmas, you can get these really cute ones with little cartoon faces on them.

    When you become a VistaPrint customer, you can sign up for email notices of special offers. At least once a week I get an offer for free basic or custom items like business cards, notepads, magnets, and bumper stickers. I rarely pay anything but the shipping and that isn’t expensive either!

    You might not need a traditional business card, but what about a “Mom” card? I picked a cute design from VistaPrint, a blue background with a big yellow sunflower, and in the text, I put my name, “Ryan, Nathan, and Kaitlyn’s Mom”, my email address, and my cell phone number, and VOILA, I now have a “Mom” business card! I hand them out to the Mothers of all of my kids’ friends so they have an easy way to find my phone number when they need it. And it was FREE, I just paid about $6.00 for shipping for 250 of them! I really encourage you to visit VistaPrint and check out all the great products they have for you to personalize.
