(ENDED) Personalized Gifts Are Better - Win a $50 Gift Certificate for Dakota's Personalized Gifts - Review and Giveaway (Ends 8/11)

PRODUCT REVIEW
Dakota's Personalized Gifts
Receiving a 'Personalized Gift' is something that should not be taken lightly. 'Personalized Gifts' mean that the person giving it took extra time to find something you would appreciate because who doesn't appreciate a gift with their own name on it?! Uh Oh...I hope I'm not the only one! =-)

Dakota's Personalized Gifts offered me the opportunity to review one of their many 'Personalized and Handmade Gifts' and it took me quite a while to find something I loved. As I mentioned above...I wanted to find the perfect gift for two good friends of mine and their new baby. After searching through all of their categories ranging from Gifts for Him, Gifts for Her, to Golf Gifts, I decided on the Unique Personalized Baby Keepsakes section located in the Baby Gifts category.

I chose the the Name Meaning Wall Canvas 'Personalized Gift' because it just took my breath away when I saw it. I love all of the colors and I love the fact that the design is so baby/kid friendly. This is one of those gifts that will be on the wall for years to come. You can't grow out of it, it doesn't break (unless you drop it), and it won't wear out! I wish I had one now!

I'm waiting to give the couple the Name Meaning Wall Canvas. I know it will bring joy to their lives because it really does make you feel good just looking at it. It is a perfect fit for Christian's bedroom wall! Here's the wonderful image of the Name Meaning Wall Canvas I received from Dakota's Personalized Gifts...
