When my daughter was born a friend sent us two adorable personalized books from Frecklebox. I just love the Nature Name book with have for my daughter and my son long ago colored all the pages of his personalized coloring book. So, when I had the chance to review some different Frecklebox items (and offer a giveaway for you all to enjoy), I jumped at the chance. And, with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Frecklebox personalized gifts are a great way to sweeten up your day without sugar.

About 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.

Personalized Storybooks

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Preschool Boy received the  Big Heart personalized book. After receiving a love note that makes him happy, your child wants to spread the love with friends and family. The story continues as your little one learns ways to show affection and appreciation of loved ones.

Your child’s name is incorporated throughout the story and into the bright and vibrant graphics. It’s fun for Preschool Boy to see his name on every page and is slowly learning the sweet lesson.

Playful Placemats

Frecklebox has a huge variety of personalized and oversized placemats for kids (and beyond, really -some of the designs are great for older kids). They are awesome! At 11 by 17 inches, the placemats are big enough to protect your table and catch runaway food. The designs are bright, bold and graphic. We received the Alphabet Soup placemat which is perfect for Preschool Boy as we’re working really hard on letter recognition. I also love the Airplanes and Picking Flowers designs. And, how cool are the Looks Like Me designs?
