One of my favorite childhood memories is when my dad would gather all of the children in the family around the foot of his well worn recliner and clear his throat. We would all stare at him in anticipation of what was to come, each of us knowing that we would soon hear a wonderful new story from his own imagination. Perhaps one of the things about my dad’s stories that made them so special was that they were always about something customized to us and our surroundings.
Since my imagination is not nearly as creative as my dad’s was, when I had children of my own I began reading to them from the time they were born. We spent countless hours sitting on my couch reading anything we could get our hands on. While stories from the Teletubbies, Dr. Seuss, Barbie and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were read so often that I began to memorize them, it was the special, one of a kind storybooks that my children seemed to love more than anything.
When it comes to personalized Christmas gifts for kids, there is nothing better than a personalized storybook. Not only will your child receive a special gift that was created just for him or her, but you will get to experience first hand the joy of reading to your child and creating long lasting memories that are certain to be treasured for a lifetime.
High quality personalized storybooks are definitely not easy to come by these days. Although there are quite a few storybooks on the market that claim to be personalized, most of them offer very generic storylines and simply plug a name in here or there. The personalized children’s books I found here at ChristmasGifts.com, however, well that’s a whole new story. Just look at how creative these wonderful personalized Christmas gifts really are.
