Review & Giveaway (open to all Canadians)"},"content":{"rendered":"

Growing-up, believe it or not, my name, MAYA, wasn’t very popular.\u00a0 I always envied kids who were able to walk into any toy store and find their name all over various paraphernalia.\u00a0 Whether it was a\u00a0cup, lunch-bag, key-chains or pens, I wish I could get one with my name.<\/p>\n

So when I had my son, KYLE, I was\u00a0beyond excited to be able to purchase him various stuff with his name on it.\u00a0 Perhaps I went over-board at\u00a0times, but personalized gifts<\/a>\u00a0(to both give and receive) are some of my favourites.\u00a0 Of course, I don’t buy it just for the sake of having my son’s name on everything ,but rather, I’m selective about what I buy.\u00a0 Since\u00a0selection, quality and\u00a0customer service\u00a0are\u00a0important to me, I only purchase my personalized items from\u00a0KidSpot<\/a> – Unique Gifts For Babies & Kids (www.kids-spot.ca<\/a>).\u00a0 A local store in the GTA\u00a0that also sells\u00a0merchandise online (ships anywhere in Canada).\u00a0 The best part is that the personalization is\u00a0free with your purchase!<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0You can select the font and colour yourself; they even offer Hebrew letters.\u00a0 Here’s some of my favourite items; some of which we received as gifts and some we purchased:\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last month we celebrated Kyle’s birthday.\u00a0 Instead of the traditional dollar-store loot-bag items (which end up costing a fortune when all is said and done), I’ve opted for a more personalized loot-bag.\u00a0 I purchased pencil-cases and had each one personalized with the kids’ names on it.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>I filled each pencil-case\u00a0with crayons, stickers and a few candy items and tied it to a colouring book.\u00a0 To say the least, these loot bags were hits with both the parents and the children.\u00a0 One of the parents told me that their son even slept with his pencil-case!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Not only are these great and unique baby shower and birthday gifts, but they’re also great for the holidays.\u00a0 And believe it or not, the holidays are just around the corner, and KidSpot\u00a0has some great items for you entire family including personalized x-mas stockings.\u00a0 They currently have an online\u00a0promotion where you\u00a0can receive\u00a010% off your purchase (use code kidspot during checkout).\u00a0 Also, one lucky reader will receive a $30 gift-card to use towards their purchase of any item offered at KidSpot<\/strong><\/span>.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
