Name Frame Review & Giveaway

I love personalized items! I don't really care what it is, but if it can be personalized, I want it! That is why I was so happy to run across Name Frame!

At name frame, everything about the item you are purchasing is custom! You pick the name, the font, the color frame, the color matting, you can even add ornaments to the matting! Behind whatever text you want, are the pictures you choose to put in!

I received a code to make my own Name Frame for review. The process was so easy! I put all the pictures in I wanted and was able to position them exactly where I wanted them! It was so much easier than just getting the frame with the name and putting the pictures in myself. That is a lot harder! Cutting the pictures and trying to make them stay where you want them while trying to put the frame back together!

With Name Frame, it's all done on the site with a few clicks of a mouse! Once it arrives to you, you can hang it right up, or give it as a gift!

I made my Name Frame for my sister-in-law. She is like me and loves personalized items! So, when I gave it to her, she was overwhelmed with joy! I don't think I have seen someone so happy about a gift! She kept saying thank you over and over again!

The Name Frame is perfect for a nursery, child's room, or even getting the family last name with family pictures in it! The possibilities are endless! Name Frames are $59.99 and they ship to the US and Canada! Lucky for my lovely readers, Name Frame is offering you guys a 15% discount! Just use the code LCGW11 in the "How did you hear about us" field! That is a great deal!

Glass With a Twist Review

I have found a wonderful site that not only I want everything from, but that is perfect for those hard to buy for people in my life! It's called Glass With a Twist! They sell personalized engraved glassware! You can personalize one of their templates, or you can start from scratch and create your own!

There are so many different kinds of glasses you can choose from! Shot glasses, beer mugs, wine glasses and pitchers are just a few of the many you can choose from! They even have bomb sets for those brave souls out there!

For review, I received the 'Big Boy' Cocktail Glass.

This is perfect for my husband! Once or twice a month we go hang out with one of our fellow Coastie families and have a few drinks. I don't care what cup I use, but my husband is so picky! He will take forever just trying to find the 'right' cup! *rolls eyes*

So, when I saw this cup on the site, and I saw that I could put his name on it, I was super excited! As it turns out, I was right! He LOVES the cup! He got a big kick out of the saying on it! He said he will now only drink out of that cup! Yay! :)

The glass itself is beautiful! It's not too big and not too small. The etching in that glass is very precise and well done. I am very pleased with this company and am planning on buying some more glasses!

I LOVE the puzzle I got. I sent them a picture of my husbands Coast Guard boat! I also told them what text I wanted. I didn't really know what to expect. When I got my puzzle I was thrilled! I couldn't wait to put it together! 


I loved that it came in it's own box that had the picture on the front! They could have just thrown it into a cardboard box and called it good, but no, they customized that box as well! I love the attention to detail.



My puzzle was 100 pieces, and because of the colors in my picture, it was kind of difficult! I loved it! :) Looking at each piece, the detail is perfect and clear. When I looked closely, I could even see some of the guys standing on the boat!
