Personalized Gifts from Makaboo: Monogrammed Hoodie Review + Giveaway

I love anything personalized for little ones! When I receive a personalized gift for my children, if it says their name, or initials, it almost always becomes a favorite item of mine, and theirs. Combine that with the huggable, soft lovies available on Makaboo, plus many other great gifts, and you can find anything you need to send a fantastic gift to a new baby, or a first birthday.

My Experience

When I saw the list of products available on Makaboo, I really had a hard time choosing one to review, I wanted to try them all! In the end I decided on the Angel Dear Classic Hoodie Jacket. I knew it had to be soft and cuddly, as we have many Angel Dear lovies, and I know they are great quality.  The hoodie certainly did not disappoint.  It is a perfect soft little coat that will be great for my little girl this fall. So it is a little big on her now, but will look adorable in cooler weather.  I was pleased to see that the hoodie arrived in a cellophane bag, tied with a bow, so when sending as a gift you can be assured it will ship to a gift recipient looking as if it was wrapped with care.

Makaboo is Easy to Use

One of the greatest features of this product, is how incredibly easy it was to choose the personalization.  The Makaboo website makes it really simple for you to pick a gift, decide how to personalize it, and most importantly, you can preview the initials in different fonts, locations on the product, and different colors. I had a really good time playing around with different color combinations and different fonts.  So much so, I liked them all and finally decided on one after a lot of playing with the visualizer tool.  If you are a busy mom, but need to get a thoughtful gift sent out, this is a wonderful place to do so. I really want to get my son a new lovey with his initials, but I’m not sure he will part with dear old froggie!

To Buy or Not to Buy

To Buy… If you are in the market for a new baby gift, definitely stop by Makaboo and take a look.  I am confident you will find something special for a new baby, a birthday gift, or for your own little ones!

Or Not to Buy… I am hard pressed to think of a reason not to buy. I guess I would say if you aren’t into making adorable personalized gifts, then this isn’t for you, but who isn’t??
