Just in time for Mother`s Day (next Sunday!!), here are some of the cool things Hallmark has for the moms on your list! Some of these would also make great Father's Day gifts...keep them in mind when that rolls around in June!
What a great way of preserving your child's voice and ideas! Each page in the book has a prompt, and when you press the button, you can record the child's answer! These are available in Mom & Me, Grandma & Me and Dad & me versions.
In the same trend as the recordable books, this photo frame allows you to preserve a treasured photo and a 10-second accompanying message! Regularly priced at $29.95, the frame is $19.95 if you buy 3 greeting cards. (offer valid through June 19, 2011)
Gift wrap
We received our Hallmark spring package in a beautiful gift bag: the Feminine Grand Bag! With beautiful colours and a ribbon handle, this is a great way to present your gift to Mom. There are also special gift bags for Mother's Day in a beautiful lavender with flowers design.
This is by far my kids favourite! Watson is a talking raccoon. Not maybe your traditional Mother's Day gift, but it will give Mom/Grandma some special times reading with her children/grandchildren. Watson comes with a storybook, and on most of the pages there is a key phrase, which, when read aloud, makes Watson the raccoon respond! The only downside to this is that Watson uses voice recognition software, so the key phrases have to be read in a very clear way. It's so cute but bittersweet to see little Daniel (age 2 1/2) try to make Watson speak to him: Watson, I weally need your hewp! (Watson, I really need your help!) Watson's instructions say that he works best with readers ages 8 and up, and I think this is pretty accurate, as Jonathan (age 5 1/2) has been able to get him to respond a few times but not all the time.
Check out all these and more at Hallmark Canada or at your local store.

I think the recordable story books they have come out with are so fun. I wasn't aware of the Recordable Conversation Books until I read it here. I am a Grandma and one of the nicest gift I could receive would be a book like this from my grandchildren. Things like that are priceless.
