Opening your mail, you realize you’ve been invited to a celebration for that special young child in your life. As eager as you are to attend, you immediately start to think about the perfect children’s gift.
Disclosure: After verbally promoting “i See Me!” for years, I have since partnered with them to bring awareness to others within this post. As ALWAYS, I only recommend products that I truly love and all opinions included are 100% my own. Â
Not sure what to buy
While you can’t get enough of that special little girl or boy, try as you may, you just can’t seem to keep up with their ever changing interests. Paw Patrol, Spiderman, or was it Legos? Sure, you could ask their parent for the ideal gift idea, but of course you run the risk of purchasing what you feel is the “perfect” gift, only to realize that everyone else at the party thought it was the “perfect” gift as well (oops, now they have five!).
Every parent’s “secret”
Furthermore, as any “honest” parent may tell you, as much as they love to see their child excited, they could do without toys taking over every inch of their home. With the exception of a few select “large” and/or “noisy” toys that they know their child so desperately wants, parents are secretly hoping that gifts will be of educational value or take up limited shelf space.
Finding that “perfect” children’s gift
So with the ever changing interest of children, and the knowledge of every parent’s “secret”… you may be wondering exactly how to find that “perfect” children’s gift.
I too wondered this exact thing until it was time for my daughter’s special dedication gathering. On this day my brother and sister-in-law arrived with a gift that would introduce me to i See Me! books, a brand and line of gifts that would later turn out to be my go-to recommendation for the “perfect” children’s gift. Specifically, childrens gifts that will leave parents saying, “thank you”!
Upon opening the package, I was instantly touched to find that my daughter was gifted an incredibly special and personalized book (exact one here). This book that continues to be as special now as it was years earlier, is just as much a keepsake for a parent as it is a fun personalized book for a child.
i See Me! Books
As i See Me! continues to expand its inventory, so does my love for the company. With such a large variety of items available to be purchased and personalized, it is so easy to find the perfect gift for that special person in your life. From puzzles, to board games, to growth charts and stickers, ornaments, placements and of course books, and beyond… it’s hard not to find something you will love.
With every day life events celebrated through personalized stories, I was most excited to add to our personalized book collection after my youngest child was born. By simply searching “sibling” books, I was able to not only find the perfect book (exact one here) to resemble my daughters, but I was able to excite my oldest daughter with reading in the process.
Why children love them!
It may also come as no surprise, exactly why children love i See Me! products as much as they do. After reading endless books with everyday characters, imagine their excitement to see not only their name, but often their photo included in a beautiful book or product.
Above all others books, my daughter continues to choose her i See Me! books for story time, and giggles every time she hears both her and her sister’s name read aloud. So, after a brief search on i See Me!’s website I was thrilled to learn about some of their newest products and very quickly secured them for future gifts!
With my oldest being SO very much into puzzles, I knew she’d be elated for the opportunity to build this puzzle that includes her name.
Seeing as how we consider our dog a total member of our family and a sibling to our children, I knew my kiddos would go crazy for this personalized book, bandana, and poster that features our dog!
Lastly, I can only imagine the thrill that we ALL will have playing a board game that is personalized with our names and faces and I am VERY confident this game will be a gift I will create for many other friends and family in the future!
Why parents will be saying “thank you”
While the benefits of i See Me! products (specifically in the eyes of parents) may seem rather obvious, they are definitely worth noting.
- They allow for quiet interactive play that don’t require batteries and sensory overload.
- They take up limited shelf space and are compact (easy to pack up and move from room to room).
- They are educational and make play and learning time fun.
- They are timeless and will not likely be replaced after a short period of time.
- They are wonderful for exciting and encouraging young readers (find out exactly how here).
So the next time you are invited to a celebration for that very special child in your life, don’t stress over the perfect gift. Instead, I would highly recommend personalizing the perfect gift from i See Me! The gift that will leave both that special child AND his/her parents saying “thank you”!

Great gift ideas! My 5 year old daughter loves, loves, loves personalised gifts. Oddly, my 7 year old son doesn’t and actively HATES the personalised book he has. When he was really little, he used to get really cross and say that ‘his’ character wasn’t him! #thatfridaylinky
Lindsay says
Haha, oh no Martina! I guess I never thought about someone NOT liking them!
