Holiday Extravaganza #22: Hallmark Review and TWO $25 Gift Cards Giveaway

I am one of those people who loves to give cards. Whether it be for a special occasion like a birthday or wedding, or just an "I'm thinking of you" card....it's one way I feel you can really let someone know you care! I spend a long time looking for the perfect one. It's amazing how many cards there are to choose from!! With the Holiday Season upon us there are many choices especially...I've had fun browsing the selection available.

I had the opportunity to review a few of the Hallmark Christmas Items: their DVD Greeting Card, Digital Scrapbook, and Recordable Cards.


The DVD Greeting Card is also really neat. I had not seen this Hallmark item before either. Basically it's an interactive approach to the holiday newsletter. Each DVD Greeting hosts a template that can be edited and customized with personal photos burned to the DVD which is included in the card. What a creative way to send Holiday Greetings this Christmas!



The Digital Scrapbook is really neat and probably my favorite. I didn't know there was such a thing. It allows you to incorporate music, photos and text with personal photos that can be displayed in a digital photo frame, computer screen or even the tv. What a fantastic way to display your favorite pics and memories. I plan to use it for pics of Kaelyn and Kaden!


Finally, I also had the chance to review the Recordable Cards. Most of us have seen the musical cards that play a song when opened, but these go one step further by allowing you to record a 10 second voice message into the card which will play just before the music. There are more than 30 holiday recordable cards available and would make a fantastic Christmas Card for anyone.

I am so happy I had the chance to review some of the great Christmas items Hallmark is offering this Holiday Season. They offer a large selection of creative ways to say Merry Christmas to your friends and family.
