Starrytime Custom Kid's Books and Keepsakes
Why Starrytime Books? Starrytime Custom Kid's Books and Keepsakeswill let you create a customized book and blanket for your child, that has a tight connection to you! Besides helping you build an emotionally rich experience that you will share together with your child for years (or forever), the concept behind this venture is pretty cool too!
The Starrytime website features a preview of the book and also the blanket you can create. The images of the book are quite good, and unfortunately the internet hasn't advanced yet to the point where you can feel how nice and soft the blanket is.
When you go to order your book and blanket, be sure to give yourself a good 20 minutes to half-hour to sit down and think about what you want in your book for your child as you work through the order form. You'll be asked things like:
- Child's name,
- Blanket colour,
- Child's birthday,
- Child's gender,
- Your personal dedication (take your time to think about this one), and
- The child's skin colour, hair colour, & hair texture.
Ordering the book is really quite fun and - I found - makes you think a bit more about the child you are ordering for. Even things you take for granted like the waviness of your daughter's hair or the colour of her eyes.
Buying a gift for someone else? Maybe you aren't the proud parent, but you are buying a gift for a friend or relative, and maybe the baby isn't even born yet! Starrytime offers you the option of buying a gift certificate. That way, the child's parent can hit Starrytime's website and customize the book and blanket themselves.
My story: I'm really happy to say that I know the creator and author of this book. Kim Freeman put her heart and soul into creating this fantastic package. Through Starrytime, we have customized books and blankets for both of our daughters. When my oldest daughter got her new book and blanket she pronounced that her faithful old blanket (a.k.a. "yellow") was not necessary anymore, now that she had her new blanket with her name on it.
The last words: If you are looking for a truly unique and very personal gift for your child, then don't miss out! Visit Starrytime Books and order your customized book with a customized blanket. This is a gift that you and your child will treasure forever.
