Pretty Personal Gifts
It all started when my parents named me. They considered a popular
name like Sue but instead, they choose Janine. That's when the trouble
began. My name was more than just unique, it was rarely heard of
at the time.
Not a problem until I got a little older and realized that I
would never find a license plate for my bike that said "JANINE",
no matter how many stores we went to. There were no stickers, no
pencils, no erasers, nothing that said "JANINE". The best
that anyone could come up with was "JAN". My mom would
quickly whip out her black marker and add "INE" on the
end, hoping I wouldn't notice. I always noticed!
I was on a never ending quest to find my name printed on something,
anything! It just never happened. That's when my relatives started
to get creative. Armed with her trusty marker, my Mom would personalize
just about anything that my name would fit on. My Aunt Sue, (the
craftiest person I know) would embroider my name on my shirt whenever
I came to visit. My Grandmother & Godmother always came through
with engraved gifts. These were some of my favorite things growing
up, all very thoughtful, and yes, all pretty personal gifts.
Lucky for us technology has come a long way, and now personalized
stickers are readily available right on your home computer. But
if you're looking for something a little bigger than a sticker and
smaller than a toy box, then we can help you out. It doesn't matter
if your kids names are popular or unheard of, we can handle it.
If you are anything like me you LOVE to give the ooh ahh
gift. You know, the gift that everyone oohs & ahhs over when
it's opened. The only thing that makes me happier than giving the
ooh ahh gift myself is creating one for you to give...so here's
to thoughtfulness, sentimentality and lots of oohs and ahhs...
Thank you for visiting my web site.
