CrossTimber - Name Meaning Gifts: A TOS Crew Review

Your Amazing Name - Personalized Adventures for EVERY name! from CrossTimber - Name Meaning Gifts

Your child's name is a beautiful treasure. CrossTimber - Name Meaning Gifts wants to help you celebrate it!  This family operated company prides itself on helping you discover the unique meaning and special story behind your child's name.  They offer a wide selection of personalized gifts that highlight the meaning of your child's name. Check out our review of a special name plaque from them!

Your Amazing Name - Personalized Adventures for EVERY name!  is a new product that not only features the origin and meaning of their name, but also the child's own artwork.  This special gift arrives as a 28 minute long HD video that can be downloaded and viewed over and over.  DVDs are available as well.  Check out this video -



After placing my order, I completed a questionnaire with some basic info and provided a picture, a piece of original artwork and a personalized letter from me to my daughter. CrossTimber researched my daughter, Chloe's name, and put it together in a fun animated video.

Along the adventure - Benjamin, Mr. Owl and Rescued the Lamb spoke directly to Chloe about the meaning and origin of her name, and why names are so important to God.  Scriptures were highlighted throughout the video. Mr. Owls puns were very entertaining to both of us!

 In fact, Chloe's name was in the video over 20 times - she got a huge kick out of seeing it appear on the screen as she watched.

The adventure ends with a personalized letter from me, read to Chloe. 

 CrossTimber also presented  a special hand-picked Bible verse chosen especially for her.

Are you looking for a unique gift?  The video was a personal and meaningful gift that Chloe will always cherish.

CrossTimber: A Homeschool Crew Review

CrossTimber
Christmas is around the cornerr...I am delighted to introduce you to the one-of-a-kind, perfect gift for everyone on your list!  CrossTimber is the creator of beautiful, personalized name gifts.  They rearch names and their meanings, write name stories and create unique one-of-a-kind gifts. Some that they offer include:

• Framed Plaques 5 x 7 or 8 x 10
• Coffee Mugs
• Music Boxes
• The Names of God plaques

I was so excited to begin.  Their website is easy to use, and their customer service can NOT be beat! I decided to get a framed plaque for my daughter named Selah.  She has a unique name, and it isn't usually one I see.  But,  CrossTimber had a sample with her exact name - Selah Marie! 

I was trying to decide, and noticed the "chat box" for help.  John, the owner, immediately responded and even provided a link right away.  When my gift came, it was carefully packaged, and a card with MY name and meaning was included!  (Renita is another unusual name!!)  Even their customer service is personal :-)

I love the names of my children, all carefully chosen for what and who they represent.  But more importantly is our name to GOD.  This reminder card was tucked into my package as well.  I love it.

John has a great story about Driver's Ed class and how his company and  the name meaning cards got started - be sure to read John's experience.

But, truly - LOOK AT THIS!  It is beautiful, and meaningful.  The perfect Christmas present, if I can keep it secret that long... It fits my daughter exactly.

Each name gift includes  the origin, cultural meaning, Life meaning, and a hand-picked Bible verse that connects with the meaning.   You can add extras to your order as well - items like bookmarks, greeting cards or even a PDF you can print.

This family owned company is budget friendly as well. You can mix and match, and the discounts are great.  These deals will let me buy for the whole family.

CrossTimber is giving you the chance to win your own personalized name gift (personalized mug, name plaque, or 8X10 name plaque or one of nine (9) to win a $10 gift certificate).  Be sure to head on over and enter at: CrossTimber Name Meaning Giveaway.  (Ends December 4th 2016)

Candy Card

In my last post, I shared about our first Homeschool Graduation.  My kiddos thought you may like to see the card they created (with a little inspiration from Pinterest, of course!)

 

 

We used a large piece of tagboard.  Then, we taped the goodies in the correct spots.  This is what it said:

 

After doing MOUNDS of homework and surviving CRUNCH time, you finally hit PAYDAY and SKOR'd your WHATCHAMACALLIT (diploma!)  As you head off to college, don't listen to any SNICKERS, you're no DUM DUM or AIRHEAD, you're a SMARTIE!  You're on your way to 100 GRAND, maybe you'll be a MILLIONAIRE! 

 

We love you to PIECES....

 

Super easy, fun way to load the graduate up with some sweet treats too!

 

Keep watching for my next post about the creative gift we came up with....
