GrafoMap Custom Map Prints Make a Great Gift for Dads and Grads-Giveaway

June 16, 2016 by Kathryn 37 Comments

June is the month of shopping for dads and grads, and if you’re looking for the perfect gift, you can’t go wrong with a GrafoMap! These unique maps can be created using any longitude and latitude to showcase a specific town or city, a great memento to let Dad reminisce about his childhood or help your grad remember his hometown as he heads off to college! Recently I had the chance to create and review my own GrafoMap and I couldn’t wait to see what they were like.

I considered making a map of my own hometown of Lumsden, but instead I decided to create a print of my fiance’s hometown area instead. He was raised on an acreage in the Penetanguishine/Midland area and at first, I wasn’t sure which one to choose for the map. Eventually, I realized that I could use his exact address to create a map that centred right on the house where he was raised. The resulting map print, with glimpses of Georgian Bay around it, was graphically stunning!

My boys and I have been lucky enough to enjoy some pretty amazing vacations together, and I absolutely love looking back at the pictures and remembering all the fun we’ve had. I’ve started a tradition of picking one favourite photo from each vacation and having it printed and framed to hang on the wall so that I can relive the memories every day. So when CanvasPop contacted me about reviewing its beautiful 16×20 framed prints, I was thrilled.

CanvasPop.com specializes in customized canvas prints and framed art prints. The company’s quick service and attention to detail make it a great option for anyone that wants to showcase special moments in a gorgeous way.

With the end of June just one week away, plans for summer have already begun for most families. And for many, that means planning for summer camp! I still have so many great memories of attending overnight camp as a child and I learned plenty of fun skills too. But while I brought back a lot from those camp days, my forgetful nature meant that I left things behind too…literally!

Luckily, my boys won’t be going through the same thing thanks to the handy new Write On Labels from Stuck on You!

June 23, 2014 by Kathryn 151 Comments

For years now, I have been in love with the personalized products available from Stuck on You. My first experience with the company was when I received a set of its gorgeous designer Name Labels for my oldest son to use on his Kindergarten supplies. But what I really love about Stuck on You is the fact that the company offers so many other handy personalized products perfect for any time of year.

And summer is no exception! Recently Stuck on You offered me the chance to check out a few of its products perfect for summer fun and I was only too happy to oblige. With both camping and swimming on our agenda for the warm summer months, I decided to get a pair of personalized summer PJs for Zackary and a personalized beach towel for Benjamin. One of the things that consistently impresses me about Stuck on You is how quickly the Australia-based company’s products arrive once I place my order. In less than two weeks, the items were at the door and my boys were rushing off with their new treasures.
