Father’s Day Review from Things Remembered

Father’s Day is right around the corner and if you’re anything like me, finding the perfect gift for dad isn’t the easiest task.

fdgift6My children are still too young to do the shopping themselves, so I tend to look for a more sentimental gift to capture the early memories. And no one does that better than Things Remembered.

Things Remembered offers a customizable gift for every type of father in your life from the sporty dad that likes to hit the greens with his son with an Engraved Golf Pen Set to the working dad that wants to take a little reminder of his children with him to the office as he plugs away at his computer desk with a silver photo mousepad.

Our silver-plated mouse pad lets them keep a favorite photo close by while they work. Engrave it with a message like “you surfed your way into my heart!” Each mouse pad holds a 5.75″ x 5.5″ photo under a protective layer to keep your precious memories safe.

The best part about a gift like this is that even though mommy picked it out, the kids can still be part of it by choosing a photo of their own to insert and engrave with a custom phrase or date. We engraved our special Father’s Day gift with “Father’s Day 2009, With Love, Mattison, Kaydee and Emma”.

fdgift4

Now each time my husband returns to the office for a long day of paper work and report writing, with each click of the mouse he can see his smiling children looking up at him.

Win It

One (1) lucky reader will win their choice of a Silver Photo Mousepad, Photo Cuff Links, or Memory Stick Key Chain, with custom engraving. Each gift is valued at $25
