“________’s Famous ________ Dinner” – Fill in the Blanks & Win!
17 months ago
Today is “Family Day – A Day To Eat Dinner With Your Children.” The holiday was launched in 2001 by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University to inform parents that the engagement fostered during frequent family dinners is an effective tool to help keep America’s kids substance free (Read more about this holiday here).
PersonalizationMall.com loves and supports the idea of making time to sit down and have a nice family dinner. Even though it may seem hard to find the time in everyone’s busy schedules to fit in a sit-down family meal, it’s important to make the time because the dinner table is one of the most common places that childhood memories are formed!
Whether it was the signature dish your mother prepared, the prayer that your father lead the family in reciting, or even the comforting feeling you got when everyone plopped down in their seat (the same seats everyone sat in week after week even though they wern’t assigned) … it’s those memories that made your house a home.
A Personal Touch thinks it’s important to keep those memory-making traditions alive, that’s why we’d like to announce our Fill-In-The-Blank Contest: “_________’s Famous ________ Dinner.”
We want to hear all about the delicious dish that was the foundation of your special family dinners when you were growing up. We want to know who was the mastermind behind the meal (i.e. Grandma, Mom, Uncle Joe, etc.), the name of their “famous” dish, and the recipe for the magical meal that had everyone running to the table!
The winner will win their very own Your Special Dish© Personalized Serving Bowl from PersonalizationMall.com!
To enter the contest, please send an email with the subject line “Family Dinner Contest” to social@pmall.com with the following information:
- Your first and last name
- The name of the chef who created the dish
- The name of their special dish
- The recipe for the memorable meal
All submissions must be sent in before midnight October 4th, 2011 and the winner, who will be determined by A Personal Touch staff, will be announced here October 5th, 2011.
We can’t wait to hear all about the dish that you all shared while making those special memories!
Good luck to everyone and have fun at your family dinner tonight!
Pamper your pooch for National Dog Week!
07 months ago
Did you know it’s National Dog Week? This week is a great time to celebrate and pamper your pooch!
Recently we asked our Facebook Fans which PersonalizationMall.com pet gift they thought their dog would love most and the majority of our fans chose personalized food and water bowls. Well that’s great news because we have plenty of options for you to choose from, like our Throw Me A Bone© Pet Bowls (pictured), or our Doggie Diner© Pet Bowls designs!
There are plenty of colors to pick from and they come in large or small sizes so they’ll fit your furry friend’s size perfectly! No matter which design you feel best matches your home, you can personalize a matching floor mat to rest the bowls on.
There’s the Throw Me A Bone© Pet Photo Meal Mat, which you can personalize to showcase your favorite picture of your puppy, or we also have the matching Doggie Diner© Personalized Meal Mat which matches the Doggie Diner© Pet Bowls, too!
Also, have you checked your dog’s ID tags recently? It’s important to make sure they are easy to read to keep your pet safe. At PersonalizationMall.com you can customize a Pet ID Tag (pictured) and pick to have it engraved on one of our shapes, such as a silver dog, pink heart, red star or even a blue dog bone!
Speaking of dog bones, A Personal Touch found a great recipe for homemade dog treats that you can whip up to give your dog a little extra love this week!
Save some money by passing on buying the expensive brand name treats this week and spend more quality time with your family by having them help you put together these healthy doggie treats (pictured). You can have fun making them into any shape you want after you roll out the ingredients, but as you see in the picture, using a little dog bone cookie cutter makes them look official! It’s an easy recipe with ingredients you’ll find at your local grocery store no problem! Just click here to the “Come On, Ilene” blog for the full recipe and directions. You can even save the leftovers for the dogs that come to the door with the trick or treaters in a few weeks!
While you wait for the homemade treats to bake in the oven, click here to print out a picture of a dog that your kids can color to show their National Dog Week spirit! Don’t forget to encourage them to help you walk the dog, clean up after him/her, or throw the tennis ball a couple extra times this week.
If you have a really active dog you should check out our Dog Paw© Personalized Travel Water Bottle made just for dogs. When the dog has its own water bottle, everyone is hydrated and keeping their germs to themselves!
Your puppy will be wagging his tail so fast you’ll think it’s going to fall off after he sees the PersonalizationMall.com dog gift you make just for him! A Personal Touch wishes you, your family and your furry friend a happy National Dog Week!
P.S. Follow us on Twitter this week for a promo code worth 15% off all our Pet Gifts, and head to our Facebook Page to enter your dog into our “Your Clever Canine” Photo Contest. All you have to do is submit a picture of your dog’s signature dog trick and you could win a personalized treat jar!
Good luck!
How to ask a girl to Homecoming with style!
08 months ago
Now that fall is here all the high school Homecoming dances are right around the corner! We’ve noticed that nowadays it’s customary for boys to ask girls to their high school’s homecoming dance in special or over-the-top ways. We’ve heard of boys dangling banners over overpasses, hoping their potential date will see it on their way to school or even sending a singing telegram to a classroom to surprise the girl of their dreams! These all sound like a lot of fun but those poor boys must be under pressure to come up with something extravagant and original in order to secure a date to the dance.
That’s why we put together a couple ideas to help out the boys this homecoming. So if your son, friend or neighbor is looking for help, you can use these ideas to help save the day!
One of our ideas is to personalize PersonalizationMall.com’s Your Secret Message© Puzzle with either a cute poem or just a simple request like in the picture shown. Then take the puzzle pieces and distribute them into several envelopes (or however many class periods the young woman has).
Get to school early and give the first envelope with a note (be sure it’s typed so she doesn’t recognize your handwriting!) explaining the treasure hunt to her homeroom teacher. From there, either leave each envelope with her teacher for each class period or assign them to her friends to hand her throughout the day.
She’ll be kept in suspense all day until she finally gets the last pieces (make sure most of the letters in your name are in the final envelope) and she will be so touched that you went through all the work to ask her!
If you’re looking for a less time-consuming idea, we have just the thing! You can create your own fortune message with our Fortunate Love© Fortune Cookie! For example you could personalize your message to say “I see dancing in your future … will you go to Homecoming with me? Love, Mike.”
You can take her out or order Chinese take out for dinner and sneak it in with the rest of the cookies or you can leave it in her locker for a nice surprise, too! After she’s seen how much time and effort that went into it, she’ll have to say yes!
So we hope this tips helped get your creative juices flowing … does anyone else have creative ideas to share?
“You Can’t Have A Picnic Without …” Contest Winner Announced!
08 months ago
Congratulations to PersonalizationMall.com’s “You Can’t Have A Picnic Without …” contest winner, Dawn!
Dawn offered some great advice for all our readers when she shared with us that she can’t have a picnic without:
“My family and baby powder!!! We live at the shore so we picnic every day on the beach. With a 3 year old and a 7 month old there is always sand everywhere … that’s where the baby powder comes in! Sprinkle a little baby powder on sandy fingers, toes, cups etc., and the sand magically brushes right off!!!”
For her helpful and original idea, Dawn won her very own St. Tropez Personalized Picnic Blanket Tote!
PersonalizationMall.com would like to thank Dawn and everyone else who entered the contest …
Everyone give the baby powder a try and let us know how it works for you!
Happy Gifting!
