My Thoughts

So I don't know how much more of a good review I could give these then they made people cry. I mean, how much better does it get then that. So I loved the idea of these when I first heard of them anyway, so when they showed up on my front porch I was tickled. The lovely people at SoftSoap sent me two of them to try. One of them went to my mother, and the other to my husband's mother. My mother-in-law loved it so much that she teared up. They are in love with them. We like the idea that we can get the large SoftSoap refill bottle and refill these is so much fun. We are going to keep them for a long time. 

The process is super easy to. You go online to the SoftSoap website and go the hand soap section and click on customize. Then it is just three easy steps. You select a a formula, which basically means you pick a sent you like. I picked Wild Basil and Lime. Then you pick your layout. There are monograms, designs, photos, and messages that you can choose to include in your design. There also patterns to chose from. Some of the examples are above. I chose to do just a solid picture with no text. Then you review it and add it to your cart. It is great, and not badly priced at all. They are great as a gift, a favor, yourself, and so much more. I love these.

If you want to give a gift that is really unique, they are the perfect choice.  I am always looking for new ways to grow my collection, and at PicturesOnGold.com, I found the most beautiful and ornate personalized  photo jewelry and key-chains I have seen to date. The idea of a photo locket has been around for quite a while, but PicturesOnGold has taken this concept into the 21st century. They actually take your favorite photos, and using advanced laser technology, engrave the pictures on to gold and sterling silver lockets and charms.

With Valentine's Day coming up in a few weeks, one of these gorgeous items would be the perfect gift choice for any special woman in your life.  I was able to create a Sterling Silver Women's Adjustable Round Photo Engraved Bracelet. Since we recently lost our dog, my daughter wanted to get a bracelet with her picture as a special reminder of our pet.  Getting the charm made was simple and fun. I just emailed them a few of my favorite photos and they engraved them into the silver. The finished product is really amazing.

It's amazing that they can get so much detail onto such a small area.  

On the back of the bracelet we were able able to have our dog's name engraved. You can see even in the photo that it clearly reads "AMBER" in big bold letters. In addition to the beautiful engraving, I also really like the clasp of this bracelet. It's actually a slider clasp, which means  you can make it larger or smaller without having to unhook it. I was happy to see that I could adjust it to a small enough size to fit my daughter's wrist. It's durable and well-made. This is a keepsake that we will treasure forever.

My Thoughts

Jaymo has helped to bring my two greatest loves together. No matter how crazy they make me feel sometimes, I love my babies and I miss them when they're at school all day, even the teenagers.  Now I can have them close by all day long while I enjoy my favorite cup of Joe. Jaymo can take any picture and turn it into a treasure. In this case, they added a picture of my children onto my travel mug.  What makes this particular mug even more fun is that the pictures are interchangeable. You can print out any picture an insert it inside the mug. You can also take out the picture when you're washing the mug, so the image will never fade.  The mug is a good size, dishwasher safe, and an all around good quality. These are great to take to work or to take with you on the go because they make you feel closer to your family, even when you can't be together. 

I also got to check out one of their personalized pens, which is lots of fun as well. They added my New Age Mama logo onto the pen. If you have a small business, this is an affordable way to advertise. However, you can also add photos of your children here too. Like the mug, the pictures can be switched up any time you like.

Jaymo creates high quality products and  you can use any photo you want to make them truly personal.  Of course,  this is now my favorite mug, and you'll find it sitting on my desk any time of day. The pen is getting plenty of use as well. These would make a great gift for anyone, and are also the perfect way to make the holidays a little more personal.  Also be sure to check out all the other personalized items you can create for all your special occasions at Jaymo.
