#PutYourHeartToPaper This Mother's Day with Hallmark

Hallmark logo
I have been compensated by Hallmark in exchange for writing this post but the content and opinions are 100% honest and my own.

When was the last time you sat down and wrote a letter to someone? I'm not talking about a quick note to your significant other to remember the upcoming sports practice or to pick up milk, I'm talking about truly putting a pen to paper and writing a letter or sending a heartfelt card. Was it in the past few months? Year? Has it been a few years?

I came across this comic recently and felt as though in our email/text/instant message world, it couldn't have been more accurate:

mail comic

Right?

With Mother's Day only days away (this Sunday, May 10th!), there couldn't be a better time for each and every one of us to take the time to devote our full attention, feelings and thoughts into jotting down a meaningful message for the moms (whether biological, emotional or both) in our lives. Sure, she would appreciate getting taken out to dinner or a new piece of jewelry, but if you really want to show that you care, just pick up a pen.

To make things even easier, Hallmark has debuted their amazing Put Your Heart To Paper campaign that, along with their beautiful cards (with themes that are sentimental, humorous, nostalgic and more), really leaves you with no excuse to not tell the important women in your life how much you care. Go beyond only saying I love you, I appreciate you and thank you and 'put your heart to paper!'

Hallmark Put Your Heart To Paper

With so many designs, styles, messages and more in all of their cards, Hallmark makes it a snap to find the perfect ones for all of the maternal relationships in your life. I feel extremely fortunate that I have had many inspirational, strong, caring women in my life and what better time than Mother's Day to celebrate how special they each are to me?

Mom

There's no question that Mother's Day makes me think of how lucky I am to have my mother in my life. She is creative, thoughtful, loving, driven, a bit crazy, and a fantastic Nana to my own children. She is constantly thanking me for helping her out, but really? After all of the years of work, stress and effort that she put in doing her best getting me to this point in my life? No question that I'm more than happy to repay the favor.

Which is why I adore this card for her this Sunday, as the front has a carefully crafted Wonder Woman outfit and the inside reads, "Thanks for always using your powers for good." There isn't anyone that has embodied a superhero more in my life than Mom, so this is perfect! I plan to include a few personal lines of my own thanking her for being awesome as well, because even if I do tell her that from time to time, Mother's Day is precisely when it should be put into writing to help drive it home.

Mother-in-Law

You know the classic stereotype of the evil, overbearing, unapproachable mother-in-law? Now picture the exact opposite and you'll have my husband's mother. She just might be the most kindhearted, caring, always-thinking-of-others, would-do-anything-for-you woman that I've ever met and I'm beyond lucky to get to have her as a second mother. In fact, I love the way that my own mother and my mother-in-law are, on the one hand, complete opposites... yet, on the other, can be so similar.

I really couldn't ask for more and absolutely cherish having such a great relationship with my mother-in-law, while being even more touched seeing the way that she adores my children to no end. For this reason I'm having a hard time deciding between this first card, which reads "A mom's heart is always there — ready to comfort, ready to give, ready to love" on the front and "Wishing you a Mother's Day that makes you feel so loved in return" inside...

Mother's Day cards

...and this second card, which states, "The best moms get promoted to grandmas" and "To the best mom and grandma a family could ever have. We love you." Both cards have the ability to help portray just how much we care and are thankful that she makes our lives better simply by being who she is!

Grandma Mother's Day Card

My Mom Friends

For many women, myself included, it takes a while to make other "mom friends" once you've had a child and have realized how life has permanently changed. For me, even though it did take a few years, I am to the point now where the close group of friends that I have do mean the world to me. 

These women know who they are and, whether we are out having dinner and drinks, hanging out at someone's house, chatting during soccer games, saying a quick hello after school, planning play dates for our children, commiserating over the difficulty of motherhood, setting up carpools or much more, their strength, wisdom, support and love are all aspects that make my world turn.

For these amazing ladies, I know that one of Hallmark's humorous cards would be perfect to bring a smile to their faces this Mother's Day. I'm loving quite a few of the options but have to go with this simple, yet adorable card as my favorite. It reads "Good moms let their kids lick the beaters" on the front, followed up with "Great moms turn the mixer off first" on the inside. After I add a few lines about how much I appreciate their friendship and the influence that they have had on my life and it will be ready to go!

My Online Mom

To anyone who doesn't spend so much of their life on a computer, the idea of an online mom friend probably doesn't make much sense. But for me, there is one digital friend that I can turn to not only for advice and to share my thoughts and feelings, but she is inspirational in the way that she is a fantastic mother to her children.

Even though they are grown, they are the center of her world and I can't help but want to reach right through the internet and give her a hug for being such a rock and a source of light to them (and me). This Mother's Day, you deserve this card, Liz, because you truly are "So very loved and admired" and to know that your children and I are "Celebrating you today" (printed on the inside).

Hallmark Mother's Day cards

This Mother's Day, be sure to take the time to write out a card to the women in your life who surround you with love, advice, companionship, laughter, motivation and more. While it's one thing to simply know how much you appreciate them, it is so important to share that with them!

There is no one way to do it and no need to feel as though you have to be a poet or spend hours coming up with precisely the right words, that's what Hallmark is for! Their cards can easily express your feelings and give you the perfect starting point to add your own personal message. Wouldn't the amazing mother figure(s) in your life be absolutely thrilled if you put your heart to paper and told her how much she means to you?

Find out more about Hallmark's Put Your Heart To Paper campaign (and see their tear-inducing videos) by visiting PutYourHeartToPaper.com and connect with anything and everything Hallmark on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram. Then get to your nearest Hallmark store right away to pick up cards in time for Mother's Day!

Spread the Love this Valentine's Day with Hallmark {Review & Prize Pack Giveaway}

Hallmark logo
When it comes to Valentine's Day, it's always fun to get (or give) a creative, unique gift... but there is also something to be said for the classics. After all, they're classic for a reason, right?

But where is the happy medium? The spot between the standard gift of a bouquet of (extremely expensive) roses and the one-of-a-kind gift of a full size ice sculpture carved to look like your sweetie?

As it has been for decades and decades, the answer lies with Hallmark. Whether you're celebrating Valentine's Day with your sweetheart, your family or your friends, Hallmark has February 14th covered for each and every one of them.

valentine's day gifts

While Hallmark has been known for helping people everywhere express their feelings for the past century, they have managed to introduce new items to their 2014 collection that are adorably perfect and just in time for Valentine's Day.

As I can't think of a single Hallmark product that hasn't elicited a smile or an Awwww! over the years, I was excited to see what they could have possibly added to their line to continue that tradition.

Hallmark Valentine's Day

Awwww!

See? They went and did it again.

Most known for their amazingly huge collection of cards, Hallmark has stylish and beautiful options of all kinds — whether you're looking for something vintage, modern, simple, authentic, sincere, stylish, fun or more, they have it.

I love the way that the new Sarah Jessica Parker Collection adds just the right amount of sophistication and fashion, resulting in cards that are attractive as well as refined. Everything from the embellishments to the glitz and glam go just right with the heartfelt messages inside!

Hallmark SJP cards

At the same time, the Hallmark Signature Collection cards make me swoon with their creativity and uniqueness. The colors, textures, papers, handcrafted touches... you just can't get anything more amazing!

What kid wouldn't flip over receiving a card like this that, in essence, is so much more than just a card?

child hallmark valentine

Or, for the more grown up Valentine's Day sentiment, I adore the stylish sexiness that Hallmark has managed to incorporate into their Signature Collection. The gorgeous papers, the added glitter, the black lining in the red envelope, the way that the matchbox really opens... va-va-voom!

Hallmark valentine card

When it comes to finding just the right gift to accompany your card (or to be delivered all on its own), Hallmark has us covered there as well.

Instead of spending a fortune on flowers that will inevitably fade and wilt, why not surprise your family and friends with an everlasting bouquet? Hallmark's Suddenly Flowers are the exact way to do so all in one single box.

Simply remove the top and the beautiful bouquet of carefully-crafted paper flowers (complete with a sweet message for your Valentine) pops open for endless days of admiration. No watering, no planting, no picking off dead petals, just bright, cheerful flowers showing your loved one how much you care.

Hallmark Suddenly Flowers

Retailing for $14.95 and available in various styles, colors and messages, I love the way that these Suddenly Flowers have the ability to brighten someone's day... and extend that into a week, month or more!

Even better, by simply pressing down on the top flower and sliding the box top back on, the entire bouquet can be closed up for storage or to simply set aside for another day (at which point your recipient will again be reminded of your wonderful thoughtfulness)!

Hallmark Suddenly Flowers close

Finally, for the young, whimsical side in all of us, Hallmark itty bittys are the 5" tall, plush replicas of a wide variety of characters that we all know and love.

Why not bring a smile to the love in your life this Valentine's Day (and any day, really) by surprising them with Mickey Mouse, Wonder Woman, Superman, Disney Princesses, Mike and Sully, Winnie the Pooh, and many more!

Hallmark itty bittys

Retailing for $6.95, I just don't think that these little stuffed pals can get any more adorable!

They're just the right size that a child could play with them or an adult could happily display them on their desk, on a shelf, in their car or pretty much anywhere. Each one has a sweet embroidered face and the little details that go into the bodies and costumes are just right!

Hallmark itty bittys review

Through thick and thin, the good times and the bad, it's important to know that life is a special occasion, and Hallmark can help drive the emotional connections that make all your relationships meaningful.

This Valentine's Day, be sure to visit Hallmark.com and your local Gold Crown Store to pick up just the right card, gift and more that will perfectly express your feelings with the ones you love. You can't go wrong with so many amazing options!

And, thanks to the generosity of Hallmark, one person will be able to share their love this year and beyond, because...

One lucky person will win a Hallmark Prize Pack containing an assortment of greeting cards, a Suddenly Flower and two itty bittys!

Celebrate Valentine's Day with Cardstore.com

Cardstore.com logo
I participated in a Blogger Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Cardstore.com. I received complimentary cards and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

If you've somehow been in denial and haven't realized that Valentine's Day is coming up fast, let this be your wake-up call: February is here! And that not only means that there aren't that many days left to still make a restaurant reservation, it also means that the time left to create a personalized, heartfelt gift or card for your loved one(s) is quickly decreasing.

Even though most of us have the best intentions to take the time to create a card that is just as special as our honey (and get it ordered with plenty of time to spare)... that doesn't always end up happening.

Fortunately, there are great sites that give you the ability to create and design a custom, personalized card and have it delivered to your door with time to spare. No stopping at the drugstore on your way home from work to get something generic at the last minute when now is the time to visit Cardstore.com!

Valentine's Day cards

Offering customizable (and adorable) cards, invitations, stationary and much more for every occasion, Cardstore.com makes it quick and easy to create a personalized way to tell those close to you that you love them. Gifts and flowers are wonderful, but is there anything more heartfelt than a truly meaningful card?

For me, I always make an attempt to find just the right balance between sentimental and humorous and I love that Cardstore.com has made their theme this year "It's Okay To Cry." Instead of worrying about being corny, let's all embrace the emotions that come along with powerful messages of love!

In fact, Joseph Joyce, Creative Director for Cardstore.com, offers many great tips for writing heartfelt cards that just might tug at your recipient's heartstrings:
  • Take your time — start early to reduce stress and browse all of the wonderful options online to get your creative juices flowing.
  • Be yourself — just be honest and say what you feel!
  • Incorporate photography — tuck a printed photo inside the card or design your card online with your personal photos.
  • Personalize — remember, a card is more than just a piece of paper. It tells the recipient how you truly feel and, with the right touches, will inspire tears of joy, laughter and love.
Keeping these tips in mind, I headed over to Cardstore.com and was immediately happy that they made it so easy to narrow down their large selection of Valentine's Day cards. Romantic, funny, religious, flirty... for him, for her, for kids, for grandma, for teacher... whether you want your valentines to be sexy, silly, or sweet, they've got options to make everyone's heart happy!

While I found quite a few cards that would bring a smile to my girls' faces, once I saw Valentine's Day Puppy, I knew that I had the winner.

Their user-friendly interface made it extremely easy to switch from the front to the inside to the back...

...and I adore that I was able to add in both girls' names and my own personal message to tell them how much I love them.

personalized card

I also had the option to change the inner layout to include text and/or photo(s) on the left side, but I chose to leave it blank and plan on placing a few sheets of Valentine's Day stickers there before giving this to the kids.

A few more clicks and a confirmation that the front, inside and back were just how I wanted them and I had my card ordered and on its way.

As for my husband, it took me a little longer to find the perfect card for him (and even longer deciding what to write on the inside), but I finally settled on Husband Big Spoon and can't wait to see his reaction.

Don't let another Valentine's Day come and go without showing the people in your life just how much they mean to you! Head over to Cardstore.com today and create your own customized Valentine's Day cards... but remember that orders must be placed by February 6th in order for them to arrive in time for the holiday!

Holiday Cards 2013 from Tiny Prints {Quick $50 Gift Certificate Giveaway!}

Tiny Prints logo
If you're anything like me, you're in denial that October is nearly over and, in essence, 2013 isn't far from ending as well.

Wasn't it just April? And what happened to June? August? There must have been something of note in August... how is it that the holidays are now just right around the corner?

That not only means that there aren't that many shopping days left, it also means that in order for holiday cards to be tucked into their envelopes, sealed, stamped and ready to send out, they need to be ordered soon.

In the past I found myself procrastinating and ordering our cards at the last minute, something that would end up consistently stressful and displeasing. But then I realized that life would be much easier if I didn't waste time or effort looking at various sites and less-then-stellar designs when I could just go with the amazing selection and quality that I've come to love and appreciate from Tiny Prints.

holiday photo cards

Even though I've seen (and sent) a variety of other holiday cards over the years, there is just something about Tiny Prints that has remained unmatched when it comes to style and overall impression. From traditional colors and embellishments to merry and bright colors that take on a modern feel, there is something about the way that that each one grabs your attention and celebrates the season in its own way.

New for 2013, there are even more styles to choose from – Contemporary, Classic, Vintage, Full bleed photos, All That Glitters, Bold Expressions, Simply Chic, Woodland Wonder and The New Tradition... it almost pains me to try to choose a single favorite!

Tiny Prints Trim OptionsNot to mention that along with the incredible designs, Tiny Prints has added new trim options for 2013 as well. Their square and rounded edges are back (I've always been a sucker for the rounded edges!) but now there are also bracket, ticket and scallop trim options as well. 

How do I chooooooose, Tiny Prints? You're making this really difficult!

However, if I truly had to pick my top five favorites, I'd have to say...

1. Joyous Heart: White Flat Holiday Photo Cards.

There's something about the simplicity of the single "joy" and the cute polka-dot back that I love about this card (as well as the rounded corners, of course). Plus, the ability to showcase three photos takes away the pressure of having one single awesome shot of the entire family!

photo holiday cards

2. May They Sparkle Red Lantern Flat Holiday Photo Cards.

This card mixes the simplicity that I like with the eye-catching background pattern that I adore. Plus, who doesn't want to share a little sparkle with their friends and family?

Christmas cards

3. Distinctly Happy Ore Flat Holiday Photo Cards.

This card has lots of clean lines that I like, while it also gives me even more options to include photos... when are there ever too many pictures of my kids all in one place?

4. Geometric Joy: Gibraltar Flat Holiday Photo Cards.

I have a feeling that my husband wouldn't be a big fan of this card, but there's something about the pattern and the saturation of the colors that catches my eye and makes me think that it would stand out from others in a display!

joy holiday card

5. Cherished Days Reef Flat Holiday Photo Cards.

How cute is this? I love the lighthearted whimsy and the way that it almost looks as though the border and letters were drawn on by hand.

Once the decision-making process is complete, I love knowing that whichever card I pick is going to turn out great simply because it will be from Tiny Prints. They haven't let me down once in the past and I have no doubt that they'll continue to impress me in the future!

With exclusive designs from the nation's top designers, easy card personalization, a powerful preview engine, top-notch customer service, wonderful paper quality, matching address labels and envelope liners, and more, it's no wonder Tiny Prints' designs have been lauded by numerous television networks, publications, celebrities and more. And don't even get me started on their stylish photo gifts that are great for so many people on your list!

Whether you're new or familiar with TinyPrints.com, be sure to head over and browse their amazing selection this holiday season and beyond — you won't be sorry! And, thanks to their generosity, one person will be able to order their favorites this year as well, because...

One lucky person will win a gift code for $50 off of their total order at Tiny Prints (including free shipping)!

Celebrate, Encourage and Cherish Going Back To School with Hallmark {Review & Gift Pack Giveaway}

Hallmark logo
While there is no perfect way to prepare for the start of a school year, it is truly important to take the time to pause and capture the special moments before they are swept away in the whirlwind of new teachers, old friends, packing backpacks and more.

After all, with how quickly time seems to be flying by lately, I have no doubt that I'm going to blink and both of my girls will be graduating and heading off to college. Where did my babies go?

Although I have attempted to do my own record-keeping and photographing to document the start and end of each school year, I haven't been very happy with the results... not to mention that I usually falter when it comes to the follow-through aspect. Is there any wonder that Big Sister E's baby book stops when she was around one year and Little Sister B's doesn't have a single thing in it except for her newborn footprints?

Fortunately, this year Hallmark, one of my favorite companies, has made it extremely easy and stylish to celebrate kids as they head back to class with new gift and greetings designed to create lasting memories and share an extra boost of encouragement throughout the school year.

Hallmark back-to-school

After having spent the last 100 years helping people stay connected and best express their feelings, it isn't hard to see that there is so much more available than just classic greeting cards that are most commonly associated with Hallmark (although those are always amazing).

Whether you're shopping in a Hallmark Gold Crown Store or searching their easy-to-browse website, finding the next gift, wrapping paper, ornament, album, card and more couldn't be easier and you'll always love the new products as well as the old.

As I have always been in awe of all of the new and innovative items that Hallmark debuts, I had no doubt that their new gifts and lines of cards for heading back to school would be just the thing to brighten the day of kids everywhere.

Hallmark back-to-school products

Sure enough, these items brought a smile to my face that hasn't left and have made me even more excited for school to begin!

Hallmark's three new lines of greetings all focus on encouragement, positivity, acceptance, love, inspiration and more — all attributes that are great for kiddos to hear but are especially important during the school year.
  • SO SO Happy Greetings: These greetings help moms connect with their kids in a way they understand and appreciate. From Taco to Tribe, a variety of quirky characters embrace individuality, build self-confidence and feature upbeat back-to-school messages. As a fun bonus, these cards even include fun surprises for kids like shoelaces, key chains and more!
  • Kids Encouragement Greetings: Whether it's a new social situation, a test, first game of the year or any day of the week, sometimes kids need a confidence boost. These cards are perfect for dealing with apprehension and excitement when you stick one inside your child's backpack or textbook so that they can find it later and hold onto your words (and remember that they are awesome).
  • Back-to-School Greetings: The newest back-to-school greetings this fall feature furry friends and adorable photos to help you send a written "Go get 'em!" or "I love you!" to your kids as they head out the door. Even the youngest of recipients will surely get a kick out of these cute critters!
Hallmark kids cards

No matter if you typically reach for cards that are sentimental and moving or ones that are lighthearted and funny, Hallmark always manages to find just the right touch to make the results special. I love the small details that they always include, from the bright colors to the touches of glitter...

glitter cards

...and what kids wouldn't be impressed with a card that includes a cheery necklace, cute button or sparkly shoelaces? So darn cute!

creative greeting cards

As much as I love the Back-to-School greetings that Hallmark offers for kids of all ages, I completely adore their new Pics 'n' Props School Days Activity Kit for me!

back to school signs

Coming complete with all of the tools that parents need to document and remember first-day-of-school memories in a quick, easy, creative and utterly adorable way, the only things missing from this kit are the camera and your child!

Right inside the box you'll find predesigned signs for kids to hold (preschool through 12th grade), chalk for kids to decorate or create their own sign, journaling cards with questions for each school year, and an album to store each year's photo and journaling card.

I am head-over-heels with the way that the signs are so artistically done yet are so easy to slide right into the chic frame...

Hallmark school signs

...and the simple and sweet design of the "My First Day!" photo album.

For someone like me who always has aspirations to come up with crafty projects but never tends to get around to actually doing it, Hallmark has made it a snap for me to have lasting memories stylishly bound that can be admired throughout the years.

Hallmark school year book

With the first day of school just around the corner, we're all excited to embark on another year of learning, laughing and fun!

first day of school
Making my own 4K sign only took a few minutes and I think it turned out pretty professional!

Whether you are shopping for cards and gifts that are simple and classic or elaborate and modern, Hallmark's huge variety of designs, styles and colors are sure to supply you with just the right words to convey to your recipient how much they are loved... and they'll surely want to hang onto your kindness for years to come.

This school year, give your kids something new and different that shows how much you care by heading to your nearest Hallmark Gold Crown store to pick up a gift or card that is nearly guaranteed to surprise and delight.

Or, thanks to their generosity, one person will have just the right presents delivered right to their door, because...

Tiny Prints 2012 Holiday Collection {$50 Gift Certificate Giveaway}

Tiny Prints logoStrolling through one of our favorite big box stores recently, Big Sister E and I were chuckling over the Halloween decorations — oohing at the mini sparkly skulls, giggling over the decorated plastic pumpkins, and marveling at the creativity in some of the new costumes.

Turning the corner, however, I truly gasped.

Christmas lights? Holiday decorations? Are those reindeer lawn ornaments I see?!

As if the small nagging voice in the back of my mind isn't already beginning to stress me out saying that December will be here before I know it, seeing the arrival of the holidays in the stores when I'm only just getting used to it being fall always sends a chill down my spine.

At least things have changed over the years. In the past I found myself procrastinating and ordering our holiday cards at the last minute, something that would be consistently displeasing. But then I realized that life would be much easier if I didn't waste time or effort looking at various sites when I could just go with the
amazing selection and quality that I've come to love and appreciate from TinyPrints.com.

2012 holiday cards

Even though I've seen (and sent) a variety of other holiday cards over the years, there is just something about Tiny Prints that has remained unmatched when it comes to style and overall impression. From traditional colors and embellishments to merry and bright colors that take on a modern feel, there is something about the way that that each one grabs your attention and celebrates the season in its own way.

With such a vast collection, I have always appreciated that Tiny Prints makes it easy to browse and narrow down their cards with all of the filters along the left of the screen. Whether you know you want a certain number of pictures, to stay within a set budget, use particular colors, card sizes or design styles... simply check those options and Tiny Prints will show which of their hundreds of cards meets the criteria.

Plus, I've always liked the ease and convenience of the Favorites Folder that Tiny Prints has tucked away at the bottom of the screen. With so many cards to choose from, being able to put your favorites into one spot makes it possible to compare them side-by-side to make a final decision easily.

Tiny Prints
Of course, even with all of the ways that Tiny Prints makes browsing and shopping more convenient, deciding on a final pick is still extremely difficult. The 2012 Holiday Collection has brought so many more gorgeous options that all of the fresh designs and fun features (mmmm, new luxurious Premium DoubleThick Matte Paper — cardstock at its finest!) make it hard to choose a favorite.

As I'm planning on most likely showcasing multiple photos (since getting one great photograph with kids can be awfully difficult), I love how Merriest Stripes: Deep Blue has plenty of room for various shots but also includes a simple, sweet message...

holiday cards

...but I also love the way the rounded corners highlight the adorable simplicity featured on the Handwritten Love: Bright Red option...

Love holiday card

...however, how could I not choose the It's That Time: Red Lantern? If I could just get one joyful photograph of both of my girls, how perfect would the "Sisterly Love" phrase be right there to showcase it?

sisters card

The decision-making gets even more difficult with all of the great ways that Tiny Prints allows you to customize their cards. Change the colors, personalize the words, round the corners (a touch that I love), and more... they even have alternative layouts to pick from.

That way, if you've fallen in love with the Peace Hope Joy: Gunmetal style like I have...

photo holiday cards

...but find yourself having gotten lucky with one stellar family photo that you'd like to use, you can simply change the layout so that it will highlight a single picture instead of many. Perfection!

photo holiday cards

Once the decision-making process is complete, I love knowing that whichever card I pick is going to turn out great simply because it will be from Tiny Prints. They haven't let me down once in the past and I have no doubt that they'll continue to impress me in the future!

No matter what your personality and style, Tiny Prints is sure to have the cards, gifts and more that you'll love this holiday season. If you are looking for religious/scripture based cards (including Hanukkah), they have them. Want to showcase your fur babies? They have those as well. Want to get your holiday planning and shopping underway? Tiny Prints offers party invitations and memorable personalized photo gifts like notebooks, photo books and calendars that your recipient is sure to treasure.

With exclusive designs from the nation's top designers, easy card personalization, a powerful preview engine, top-notch customer service (I received a phone call prior to my last order's printing to ensure that my design was just as I had dreamed!) and wonderful paper quality, their designs have been lauded by numerous television networks, publications, celebrities and more.

Whether you're new or familiar with TinyPrints.com, be sure to head over and browse their amazing selection (and their special offers page to get a great deal) — you won't be sorry! And, thanks to their generosity, one person will be able to order their favorites this season, because...
