Valentine’s Day
Next to Halloween, Valentine’s Day has always been one of my favorite holidays. I used to love decorating a “mailbox” for our desk at school, then passing out Valentine’s to everyone in class. It was always so much fun to open them from everyone. Plus, some would even have some candy in them. My love for chocolate goes way back.
Personalized and Unique
Another thing I really love is personalized gifts. I think this is because I have a unique name, so finding something with my name already on it, is pretty rare. I used to feel so special when I got a gift with my name put on it. I still have this giant blue beach towel from my Aunt and Uncle that has my name monogrammed on it.
My boys also have unique names, so I love to get them things with their names on them too.
One other thing we love in this house is reading. The twins love to have stories read to them, and my oldest, Bex, is just learning to read himself. He can definitely read his name, so I found the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for him.
I See Me
I See Me is a company that makes personalized books and gifts. Right now, they have a Valentine’s Day Bundle, which includes a personalized book and sheet of stickers*. We got blue, since we’re a house of boys, but it also comes in Pink.
Let’s just say Bex loved it.
I really loved it too. Not only do you get to personalize the book with your child’s name, but you get to add other family members too. We included the twins, and both sets of Grandparents. They have a simple form to fill out when you order, and you even get to upload a picture.
The book is really cute, with colorful illustrations and a great message about how much we love our Bex. It’s really going to be a nice keepsake.
The stickers are great to put on his things, and I’m going to put a few in a scrapbook for him too.
Overall, I was really pleased with the quality of this book. It truly makes a unique and wonderful gift for Valentine’s Day or any special occasion. I’m definitely going to order one for each of the twins. They can include two names in one book, but you know how the twins like to share. They don’t.
If you place your order before February 2nd, you will get your personalized book in time for Valentine’s Day. Just visit www.iseeme.com for more information.
Are you ready for Valentine’s Day? Who would you like to buy a personalized book for?

Awesome!
Mistle says
I am right there with you with never finding anything with my name on it, unless someone got it personalized just for me. I remember having a book similar to this and I thought it was so great because it had my name in it. Personalized gifts are always great. 🙂
Shann says
Agreed 🙂

Oh my god–this is so incredibly adorable. And I’m a sucker for “name gifts,” maybe because I didn’t always see “Charlotte” printed on things when I was a kid 🙂 Love this!
Shann says
That’s exactly why I love them too. There are always a lot of Shannon’s, but never just Shann. 🙂
Roxy says

Yes! All three of my boys LOVED hearing the story with their names in it.

So cute, I love that there are other personal details other than just the individual child’s name. 🙂

Uhhh my heart! I love personalized stuff. I’m pretty sure my son is going to get so annoyed by all the personalization I get for him.
Iyanna says
I love this Shann!! I have a unique name as well and would have fell in love with this! Bex looked so fascinated with the book. You can tell that he was truly in love with it! Have to look into this for my little one. She would be over the moon with something with her name on it. (Not that she can read lol).

That is perfect for a kid!! I love personalized gifts too. Definitely something perfect for a kid or an adult (just maybe change it up for an adult). I’ll have to bookmark this for later on when Sophie can read it.
