From one mom to another… personalized gift stickers from The Stork Store are the greatest time and money saving idea ever!  Having 3 children means that I am going to birthday parties pretty much every weekend – and between buying presents and cards it can really get expensive and to be honest, exhausting.  So, when I discovered the adorable “pen at hand” gift stickers from The Stork Store I was overjoyed!

Say “goodbye” to costly cards, the gift stickers make it fun and easy to say “Happy Birthday,”  “Best Wishes,” or “Lots of Love” with just the stick of a sticker.  My kids and I sat down together to select the faces that most resembled each of them, and they all had a blast choosing an “activity body” to best represent their interests and personalities.  Now when we have birthdays or special occasions to celebrate, I simply stick a sticker onto the gift bag or present and go!  These fantastic gift stickers are so cost effective you can create one for each of your children, or put the whole family together on one – either way these personalized stickers will definitely leave your families mark on any gift!

In todays fast paced – I’ll text you later – see you on twitter/facebook world, I think that it is essential that we teach our children the importance of the hand written note.  Sure, you can text/email 200 of your closest friends and family a completely impersonal group thank you in under two minutes, but really… what are we teaching our children with that kind of cop-out?

Thankfully, I discovered the awesome personalized stationery from The Stork Store.  The Stork Store carries a huge selection of all the top brands, including Dinky Designs, Stacy Claire Boyd, Checkerboard and Sweet Pea Designs just to name a few.  With so many choices in style, everyone can find a note card to suit their own unique personality… and with cards starting at just $28 for 25 cards, everyone can find a card to suit their budget too!

I let my kids get involved in choosing their note cards… they selected the style, design, font and color that their names were printed in… and then when their note cards arrived they were so pleased and proud of their creations.. they wanted to sit down and write thank you notes to everyone that they know!  FYI… personal stationery makes a great gift too… I just adore the fantastic teacher stationery by Pen at Hand… and my kids’ teachers really appreciate the cute, personal, and very practical present!  Don’t just sit there stationary… go to thestorkstore.com right now and get your own personal stationery!

There are few events in life as exciting as a new baby, but while everyone is all caught up in your newest addition, please do not forget to share the love, excitement and gift giving with Big Sister and Big Brother!  Trust me, I have three children… when you walk in the door with that precious, adorable, bundle of joy, make sure that you have an awesome bundle of gifts to share with your big kids!

The Stork Store has made it fun and easy to make Big Brother and Big Sister feel special, with super cool gifts that are sure make them know that they are adored, loved and appreciated.  A fantastic and cute personalized name floor puzzle with your special girl or guys name on it is sure to get a huge smile… and keep them happy and busy while you are changing diapers.   I also adore the crayon aprons, the personalized childrens books and the fun and funky personalized lunch boxes!  You can even let them wear their pride on their shirts… with a personalized Big Brother or Big Sister t-shirt.

I personally have a very warm spot in my heart for the “middle sister” rhinestone t -shirt.  That middle child is so often left out… lots of stores carry “big” and “little” sibling shirts… but this sparkly shirt lets you middle child shine like the star that she is!  Let The Stork Store help you to find the perfect big sibling gift that is as fun, special, silly, wonderful, creative and awesome as they are!
