No candles were harmed in the production of this Hallmark card |
But sometimes when you send a card or give a card with a gift you just need something a little bit more special. A "wowee buckle tee" factor if you like. When the nice folk at Hallmark sent me some of their new "interactive" cards, I learnt all I really needed to know about them in the two minutes after they arrived in my letterbox.
When we opened the envelope and looked through the cards, my 5 year old Batsman simply could not contain his giggles at the dancing Carmen Miranda on one card, the Crocodile Rock music played on another and most of all the card with the "push button" dancing mustache. The Hallmark interactive cards light up, jiggle, giggle, pop up enormously and dance. And they made my boy smile and giggle. So knowing that we had smiles all round, I can only imagine what it will be like to be a recipient of one by post.
Yes, the mustache dances |
And, just to increase the level of smiles around here, Hallmark have provided very generous giveaway packs for 2 lucky Segovia readers. Each prize pack includes a selection of cards from the interactive range, the licensed Disney range, the polka-dots range, and classic range, as well as a double forever friends CD featuring tracks from The Script, Michael Buble, Delta Goodrem and many others, AND a Hallmark recordable storybook. The pack is valued at over $115, and is basically a years worth of cards. Um, wow. It's a great prize and think of the time and money you will save on not buying glitter to make your own.
So here is what you need to do to win:
- Leave a comment below telling me something good about your day. Share the happy.
- Follow Segovia - here or on FB
- Ensure that you are contactable by leaving an email address with your comment or via your profile.
The giveaway is open until midnight on July 9, 2012. There are two prize packs, each valued at $115. Winners drawn randomly.
Disclaimer: These are my personal opinions. I received a selection of Hallmark interactive cards to enable me to review them. You lucky people get the opportunity to win the two big prizes.
I have escaped the school holidays and went to Sydney for a day and a night by myself. Shopping and the art gallery were on the agenda. Wine at 5pm, then dinner at BBQ King. Yay!
ReplyDeleteToday I bought my last car seat. I expect it was the last day I will ever enter a baby bunting store. After parting with 17 zillion dollars in there, it has ended today. Now I need to get listing things on ebay (car seats are selling for $10!)
ReplyDeleteToday I painted with my kids. I put my phone down and painted with them. It was lovely.
ReplyDeleteToday my big boy got to meet his hero Jobe Watson at an Essendon footy clinic, I have never seen him so excited it was so lovely to see. What was also amazing was to see how accomodating the organisers were of a little boy on the spectrum - they went out of their way to make sure he was okay and had a great time. Enough to make his Mum want to tear up :-)
ReplyDeleteToday my big boy was easing my little boy. My feisty toddler girl marched up and told him to 'leave my boy alone!'.
ReplyDeleteIt was the cutest thing ever. Heart. Melted.

My stepdaughter told me I am going to be a grandmother again, so I will need more cards now.
ReplyDeleteToday I did not have to dress my daughter for kindy. It is Pyjama Day. God Bless PJ day.
ReplyDeleteI put new bright pom pom cushions on the dining room chairs to surprise the kids when they get home!
ReplyDeleteI had the most wonderful morning tea with 2 friends. What was special was that we were all very present with each other in the conversation, listening attentively, rather than waiting for a gap to jump in to. Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win: jojozed2@gmail.com
Its the school holidays, the sun is shining, I know what I'm going to cook for tea and the kids haven't had a single fight yet. Its a perfect day!

My daughter had her 1 year old needles today and didn't cry at all. Was the best thing I could ask for.

I am happy to be home today after 2.5wks away; happy to have a few non window (BILL) envelops that made me smile = cards too. I'd love to return the happy to others facing hardships.
ReplyDeleteI had lunch with a friend who retired after 45 years at the same job.
ReplyDeleteIt's Friday. Everybody is happy on Friday, it's just a happy day :)

I was in the newsagent buying a card for my husbands birthday and the girl was showing me some of the new funny Hallmark cards, she showed me one that was so funny i snorthed and snot came out of my nose. She started laughing, after my embarrassment I started laughing and pretty soon it was a laugh fest at my expense. I bought the card.

I have a mummy cold today (ie a proper one!). Am hiding in the sunshine indoors to keep warm and read my fav blogs for inspiration. The boys have just come in, decked out in my few items of finery -- necklaces, bangles, brightest handbags -- and handed me some "pretties" to make me feel better. And a cup of 'tea' in the spiderman cup and duplo cake to boot. I'm a lucky gal!
ReplyDeleteIt's Saturday...need I say more?
