Name Bookmarks by CrossTimber -- my REVIEW

 Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. 

I have a sort of uncommon first name--all of my growing-up years, my sister with a more familiar name was able to easily find personalized items--pins, stickers, and more--while I rarely found my name on anything. There's something sweet about having something personalized with your name on it, and this product I am about to tell you about probably has your name, whether it's a common or less common name! The items I received were Name Bookmarks  by CrossTimber. I also received AmazingName Print Activity sheets.  Read on to hear more! :) 

The product that I was to review was a set of five name bookmarks. I chose them from their large selection available online. To order these bookmarks, I could choose from a large array of themed bookmarks. Different ones have different backgrounds and themes--and there are tons of them! They even had a chicken one for my poultry-loving child! 

Okay, let me start back with a little more information. We are a reading-loving family, it only makes sense that we use bookmarks like crazy (no folding down the corners, right?!). We have five people in our family, so I decided to order one per person--they will be great for everybody's Christmas stocking! (yes, even one for myself, haha!) Even if you're not a big reading person, I bet that you could use a bookmark in your Bible or cookbook (or school textbook?)!

The website is very easy to use. You can choose the style of bookmark background or theme that you would prefer and then enter the name to go on that bookmark. You can choose to have a Bible verse imprinted on it, or a quote from a famous author, or a Presidential quote, or an explanation of a character trait, or your custom message! It is full of options!

 After you have looked through all of the lovely options, ordering is very quick and easy! It was very straightforward to order the personalization that I wanted on these. And that was it! The order came in very quickly--much faster than I had anticipated for a personalized product.

The bookmarks are standard bookmark size and are a heavy cardstock with a shiny coating to protect them. They seem to be fairly sturdy and are all spelled correctly. The name is at the top, with a definition of the name below it (and the originating language, as well!)

We chose the Bible verse option, so each bookmark has a Bible verse that correlates with their name meaning printed on the bottom of the card. The backgrounds/designs are eyecatching and attractive. Ours had Bible verses printed on the back side as well.

We also were able to order a name activity packet. This is a packet of coloring pages and activity sheets that are based around a name. This would be lots of fun for a younger child to use--and some of them (some of the coloring pages) would be fun for an older child, as well! These have a variety of pages, such as a name-printing worksheet, a name in cursive worksheet, puzzles with the name included, and many coloring pages with the name hidden throughout. It's a fun way to color along, searching and discovering your name hidden amongst the designs! (Sorry about my pictures, but I don't share my children's names on this blog! You can get the idea of the product, though.)

If you are looking for an interesting and unique gift for someone (Christmas is coming up quickly!) you might want to check out these Bookmarks and AmazingName Print Activity Packs! It's a bonus that this is a family company, you can read their sweet story on their websites. They have more products available as well.
