Review and Giveaway: Frecklebox CLOSED

I think anyone would agree that there's just something special about personalized gifts. That perfectly customized present never gets old and can never be outgrown. It belongs to and is made just for you and only you. Have you ever seen a child's eyes light up when they see something with their name or photo? It's magical. So when I want to give something truly unique to my son or nieces and nephews that will be cherished for years to come, I can now turn to Frecklebox.

Frecklebox is on a mission to educate and entertain. So we conceived this here web-based business to offer truly unique, personalized gifts for children at affordable prices. The site makes it quick and easy to customize each item so it prominently features the name of the child who will receive the gift. Our entertaining selection of personalized books, posters, growth charts, journal books, coloring books, stickers, placemats, puzzles, and other personalized items, are designed to delight your children and friends.

The assortment of personalized goodies over at Frecklebox will not leave you disappointed. Just take a look at these adorable offerings:

Their personalized lunchboxes are lead-free and have the cutest designs, like this "tweet" little polka-dot bird. They even have a chalkboard on the inside lid for writing notes to your little one. What a great idea!



Their laminated, personalized placemats would make any child run to the dinner table to claim their seat. Even those picky eaters!



And their selection of personalized coloring and picture books could keep children entertained for hours on end. Themes include everything from culture and environmental-friendliness to adoption and welcoming a sibling. For young children, seeing their name displayed on every page will help to reinforce self-awareness as it engages them in the story.



With many personalized products, you can only imagine how the finished product will look. But with Frecklebox, you get a preview of what your item will look like before you buy! You can also read the content of the books to determine which one is just right. No surprises whatsoever. What you see is what you get!

Since my son has a sailboat-themed nursery, we chose the Lighthouse Personalized Growth Chart to review.

With Frecklebox's excellent customer service, it was easy as pie to personalize and place my order. Just two or three clicks and Nate's chart was on its way! When the package arrived, it looked even better in person than on the preview. I was extremely happy with the quality and size. The canvas was thick and sturdy and the colors were vibrant. I love seeing my son's name right on the compass and I look forward to jotting his measurements as he grows. This would make a wonderful keepsake for any young boy (or girl!).



Bottom line: Instead of copping out with a gift card or purchasing a toy that will just be tossed aside after a few minutes, get a thoughtful token from Frecklebox. This is a great option for children with uncommon names or unique spellings, but is fun and affordable enough for all children of all ages.
