{Holiday Gift Giveaway #22} YourPictureBook.com Personalized Children’s Book

When I was a kid, about 10, my grandma (now gone) gave me a very cool Christmas present. One of the most thoughtful she ever gave me, actually. It was a personalized adventure book starring me! I went on an adventure with Santa Claus and my sister, and I was enthralled.

Theres nothing more fun than personalization, in my opinion. That personalized book is the only present I remember my grandma getting me, and I know she sent us something every Christmas. That tells me something people remember special gifts that show you put some thought into it. Especially back then (waaay back then 16 years ago), personalized books werent that popular. I hadnt even heard of them, so it was a total treat to receive one.

When I was given the opportunity to review a personalized book from YourPictureBook.com for my daughter, I was excited. Mostly because this is so much better than the one I received as a child! Right now, there are three exciting options available, and any one of them would be good for either a little boy or girl:

And this is how it turned out:

Brilliant, wouldnt you say? Im very happy with the cartoon version of Emma.

I chose the You Can Count book to have personalized. Emma gets absolutely giddy when we count together and can count with her fingers, too, so this was the perfect book for her right now. I like the way the book encourages counting each page features a new number and rhyme corresponding to something Emma sees around her. For instance:

While watching the tank
Emma sees something great
The fish have no legs
But the octopus has eight

One of the very cool things about YourPictureBook.com is that they can use your favorite photo, whether it features your child sitting or standing! Check out this example:

Or you can send a standing photo and ask them to use the second sitting style. Theyre very nice and helpful, so feel free to ask questions!
