Oriental Trading Company Review

Sometimes things can get a little complicated for Santa at this time of year.  As one of the grand old man's personal shoppers, part of my assignment each year is buying gifts for three little girls in Michigan.  I always make it a point to give each child an identical gift.  When they were younger, this was easy -- they all got "little girl" things like dolls, coloring books, story books, school supplies, gingerbread house kits, etc.  I noticed that they especially enjoyed things which were personalized. 

Now that the oldest girl is a bright, sophisticated eleven-year-old and the others are ten and eight, it isn't easy finding something identical for the three of them that each would really enjoy.  Thanks to the Oriental Trading Company, I have solved this problem.  This Christmas, each girl is going to receive a green vinyl album personalized with her first name embossed in gold on the cover for her to use as a personal scrapbook, a place to keep photos, clippings, party invitations, and other personal keepsakes as souvenirs of the exciting life's journey which lays ahead.  The albums measure 12" x 12", come in three colors (dark green, burgundy, and navy blue) and cost $11.99 each (including personalization up to 12 letters).  They are attractive and hopefully will be fun to work with now, but simple and sophisticated enough to serve as a transitional lifelong treasure for each young lady.  (Extra sets of ten 12" x 12" page protectors are $4.99.)  

The Oriental Trading Company also carrys a complete line of scrapbooking accessories including stickers, decorations and 12" x 12" page inserts made of really beautiful construction paper in great colors.
