Custom Made for Kids

I admit that personalized products have never made an impression on me (and I am thinking specifically of a sample personalized "Wiggles" CD that I received that particularly makes me recoil). But I decided to try a personalized book from a new company called Custom Made For Kids because, as many of you know, little kids are a bit narcissistic - in the best and most earnest way possible - and love to see themselves in photos, videos and in print.

It only takes a few minutes to answer questions that will personalize your book and the end result is pretty nice: a hardcover book with colorful illustrations that takes you and your kid on adventures to familiar places. I read the book to the Kid on her birthday, and she squealed with delight every time I read aloud a name of one of her friends, or our neighborhood park and zoo.

I hear that more stories are in the works, and the moms behind this new venture, Sarah Headrick and Sarah Rivera (who also happen to be the authors of the book), might really have a hot product on their hands.
