When I think of holiday cards, Hallmark always comes to mind. We get lots of them in the mail prior to Christmas, and I can always pick out a Hallmark card--they just have that classic look about them, not to mention the quality of the paper and the signature watermark on the envelope.
This past August, when I attended the BlogHer conference in New York, I also got to attend Hallmark's Christmas in August party (you may recall my blog post here, reliving the party in all its festiveness).
As a post-party favor, the folks at Hallmark sent the attending bloggers a bundle of products to share and enjoy this holiday season, including ornaments and copies of their recordable storybook, The Night Before Christmas. What a great gift this would make, to children both near and far, geographically.
This book will make a wonderful keepsake for my son when he gets older. It will be fun recording it along with my husband.
Because this is a post about Hallmark and about memories (don't they naturally just go hand-in-hand?), I must mention the box of Hallmark ornaments that my mother-in-law saved for my husband. Each year he received a different ornament, and when he got married, he inherited them. It certainly made decorating our first tree easy and meaningful.
Hallmark,com is offering a 30% discount on their holiday cards online by using the coupon/promo code BLOGHER30.
WIN IT!
I also have a $40 gift certificate toward Hallmark Holiday cards for one lucky reader!
