Kids love to feel special, and it doesn’t take a bounty of toys or an endless supply Happy Meals to make them feel that way. Taking the time to recognize and embrace their uniqueness is a far preferable way to demonstrate our appreciation for their individuality.

One of the greatest ways to send that message is by personalizing a gift. No, not an engraved silver picture frame or a set of monogrammed bath towels, but a gift that’s all about the child and what’s important to them. And the greatest gifts are those that are used every day, even by kids.

The personalized books for children from Printakid, a Montreal-based endeavor founded by former management consultant Noemi Berlus, are a fantastic example of how to help kids feel special with a gift that is all about them. Twenty-seven of our parent bloggers jumped at the chance to create their own personalized book through Printakid, and they’ll post their reviews over the next several weeks. Please refer to the schedule below, and check back here for our mid-campaign post at the beginning of October.
