Description

My ten-year-old actually picked this out of a catalog, exclaiming, "Oh my GOSH this is so COOL!" The ultimate compliment to the toy but kind of a passive aggressive hint to her mother that it was time to let her decorate her room herself for a change. Fabulous kit.

from the site:

If you could redecorate your room, where would you begin? Open our professional pink portfolio and use the supplies to start tracing pieces of furniture - there's enough to redo the kitchen, living room, and play room, too - onto the included vellum.

Get really creative with our Add-On Kits that include more designs to trace and vellum. Kits are for designing decorators ages 9 and up.

Make your designs pretty as a painting with our set of 12 Brush Markers - markers that have little paintbrush tips. For ages 6 and up.

Save $4.90! The Design Studio Special includes Design Studio plus both Add-On Kits.

Maybe your New Year's resolution is to finally organize your family photos...
Perhaps you want to find a hostess gift that is useful for once....
Do your kids have a digital camera? Would you like to encourage creativity?
Are you tired of the time and money you spend printing and sending out holiday photos or post-party pictures to attendees?
Did you forget to buy a present and need something ASAP?

flickr.

Whether you utilize the ample storage of a free account or purchase a $25 Pro Upgrade as a present for yourself or someone you know, this is one of the best sites online for organizing, sharing, printing and customizing gifts that utilize your digital images.

So instead of printing and mailing all of the Christmas Eve pictures to Aunt Edna, email her your online gallery address and let her pick the sizes she wants.

And be sure to check out the online groups on flickr. You can explore the world and your personal interests from your own desk.

Consider buying a Pro Account for your teenager or husband and using the print-out as a fabulous stocking stuffer. Or wrapping it in a lovely ribbon and presenting it to the hostess of a holiday party you attended. She'll be thrilled to have such an easy way to share the pictures from that night- and other attendees can upload their for her as well.

It's a great thing, flickr. Really great. (via Click Here to Buy Flickr Pro as a Gift)

Custom Visa Gift Cards

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

You can upload your OWN images, too! Check out some of the options I added to the extra pictures section to get an idea of just how cool these are.

Perfect gift for teachers, teens, even kids (I just got two for my daughters for our Las Vegas vacation so they could feel "grown up" with their own purses).... Whether you put $5 on one as a stocking stuffer (Check out the "I Believe in Santa" design- sooooo cute!) or $250 for some serious gifting options, the customization gets rid of any silly ideas that this is an 'impersonal' gift. Imagine how much fun your little one will have with her "own" credit card.... and how much her teacher will appreciate the freedom to choose something she REALLY wants this Christmas.

Choose from hundreds of designs or upload your own. Then just pick an amount, enter the name that will appear on the card and itwill arrive in one of several attractive gift envelope options in about a week (Rush shipping available).

These are one-time use cards- ie the recipient can use them up until the balance is zero. They aren't refillable. But kids will love them for pretend play when they're empty!
