Hallmark Back to School Giveaway

When it comes to special keepsakes for the Back to School Season, where else could you turn but Hallmark. From their heart warming cards to their collectible ornaments, they have everything you need to turn any occasion into a special memory. Now they have come up with yet another amazing product that is a must have for all kids for the new school year--Recordable Story Books.

What is more soothing to your child than the sound of your voice? No matter how young or old they are, your child will always love to hear you telling them a story. Now they can listen to that anytime at all with the recordable story books. You can choose from a variety of classic stories and themes, like "All the Ways I Love You" and "Goodnight Moon". Setting it up is easy. You just press the record button and it walks you through the process. You read and save each page of the book, and when your child turns the pages, they will hear your voice reading them the story. My husband and I and my two older children, all took turns reading the story.  Willow was amazed when she turned the pages of the book and heard all the familiar voices of her family reading to her. Its such a remarkable idea and an amazing keepsake. I know that Willow will treasure it forever. Its also wonderful for me to know my children's voices are memorialized and I think I will enjoy listening to them reading the story myself once they are all grown up.

The Hallmark Recordable Books are the perfect way to get your kids read for back to school. They are perfect for grandparents to send to grandchildren who live far away so they will know and recognize your voice. It will also be comforting to your child on days you finally take a break and leave them with a sitter because they can still hear you reading to them at night.  I think every child should have at least one of these books in their collection. Its just one more way that Hallmark is making memories.

Some other great ideas for Back to School are their Lunch Notes for kids.  You can get a package of 50 notes that can be added to your kids lunch boxes. They are the perfect way to let your kids know you are thinking about them while they are in school, and they will always be a nice pick me up. And of course, Hallmark also has a huge selection of cards that offer encouragement to kids and help them battle the back to school jitters.

One very lucky winner is going to receive a Hallmark Recordable Book, cards, and Lunch Notes of their very own. The title of the book and the cards you get will be decided by the sponsor.
