Exploring Our Children’s Potentials

When it comes to giving and receiving, I’m one who’s more into something personalised.

Like, instead of just buying gifts for their cousins, Anya and Vai recently made bracelets and key chains using colourful beads.

Or, instead of getting a birthday card for Anya’s friend, I’d encourage her to make one and write the words herself.

To me, it’s more meaningful this way, as the child puts more effort, thoughts and time into the making of something.

The child goes through the process of completing a ‘project’, and learns to feel the joy of giving too.

Now. The thing is, making things and giving them to others may not always be possible.

(read: Most of us in the end may end up buying a gift AND placing our hand-made card on the wrapper).

And this is when gifts like personalised music CDs come in really handy.

I really loved the personalised music CD Vai got from his little friend Rachel last year. The name ‘Levi’ was inserted into each of the many songs, and it just sounded so personal and nice.

(The idea was so good that we also got a CD for Anya and other friends’ kids after that. We specially love this and this)

This year, if you’re one of the many out there who are thinking hard about what to give as Christmas gifts, the people from 75volts.com (the ‘maker’ of these personalised music CDs) are extending special promotions, 20% DISCOUNT, especially for Our Everyday Things readers!

Something similar to what we had last year!

AND, this time round, they also have personalised music DVDs! (we watched and saw how the word ‘Anya’ was typed across the TV screen!)
