Unique Things Remembered Birthday Ideas

September 25, 2011 by Momstart 156 Comments

Things Remembered is featuring some really cute items as unique birthday presents. I found many of them so cute it was hard to pick one to focus on for a review. Since something we’re working on at home is saving money, and my son doesn’t have a cute piggy bank, I finally ended up choosing the Silver-Plated train bank and had them engrave I think I can on it. It’s ADORABLE.

Silver-Plated Train Bank – It’s never too early to teach children the value of saving. This adorable train design makes it fun, featuring intricate train detailing to look like the real thing. For easy removal of money from the bank, there is a plastic cover on the bottom. Be sure to engrave a name and date for a treasured keepsake.

He’s going to be saving lots of quarters in this little train.

Retractable Ear Buds – Teens can’t live without their music. When they’re rocking out with their mp3 player or iPod, pristine sound is good – tangled cords not so much. Just give the cord a little pull, and both sides retract into the housing. No tangles! The rubber buds fit comfortably in the ear, and the gunmetal look is as cool as the music on your favorite fan’s playlist. Engrave it with a special message and your gift is guaranteed to be a big hit.

Kids’ Silly Sac Bags – This charming bag is a practical but fun gift for kids. Great for school, sleepovers or day trips, these “silly” bags can be embroidered with his or her name on the belly to make it even cuter. Choose from the Monkey or the Turtle bag, each equipped with a side zipper, adjustable straps and a mesh body. They’re as precious as all the little things kids will stuff it with. Available online only.

Birthstone Key Necklace – A great gift for moms, this necklace also lets her celebrate her loved ones’ birthdays, too. Each polished sterling silver heart key can be customized with the birthstone and engraved with the initials of her soul mate, her children or anyone else she wants to keep close. Available in multiple key/birthstone configurations. Choose up to 3 keys/birthstones for review.

Friends Shadowbox Water Globe – How do you tell a friend how much she means to you? This handcrafted water globe commemorates the special times you’ve shared in a unique way.

The globe rests upon a silver-plated base that can be engraved with your best friend’s name or a special message of your own. Plus, it’s musical, playing Bach’s Minuet No.1.
