Calling all moms, aunts, women with friends who have kids... here are some fun, unique and special gift sites for kids. It is never too early to start your holiday shopping (after all, the stores had Christmas decorations up before Halloween this year!)...and you don't have to leave your house to do it!
SharedBook.com - Many favorite childhood stories can now be transformed into personalized gifts for children. All you do is choose the book (more than 80 classics, both old and new – from The Wind in the Willows to Alice in Wonderland to Pinkalicious) and they print a dedication in the front which includes the child's name, a personal message and a personal photo you upload to the site. A special twist on your child's favorite book!
Iseeme.com - Customizes childrens books with the child's name integrated in to the story or you can even use a child's art to make a whole book! These very high quality personalized books and gifts celebrate the uniqueness of each child. Their books have also become popular among the celebrity circuit, including Brooke Shields, Courteney Cox and Jessica Alba, who have all given us “official” permission to state that they are big fans of our books (that is HUGE in the product endorsement world). With a daughter named Norah, this is a big find!
Voicelessonstogo.com - With the latest crazes like High School Musical and American Idol, my kids are always singing and dancing but I always wondered if they are really any good (calling all stage moms like me!). Ariella Vaccarino, an opera singer and experienced teacher, has created Voice Lessons To Go. A line of vocal training products which you can buy as a four-volume CD box set for $59.99, or if you’ve got a long gift list and you’re watching your spending, you can give just one CD from the series for $19.99 (then follow up with the others on future holidays and birthdays and other special occasions). She also offers a cool vocal assessment via the Internet for only $9.99 (you submit a one minute clip and she will let you know what she thinks). If your teen has a band and you want to know if they have what it takes to make it, she also offers a $39.99 assessment (you send her 3 songs and 7 questions and Ariella will give her full assessment and recommend song choices and exercises - all guaranteed within one week). Its like having a personal voice coach come right in to your home!
