Hallmark Kids Encouragement Cards Giveaway

November 9, 2009

Did you know Hallmark has a new line of kids encouragement cards?

I was able to preview a few, and some of them have sound clips when the card is opened! In fact, when I opened the package, one of the cards popped open and scared the everliving crap out of me! How fun is that? Can't you just picture the smiles and giggles?

The cards are adorable. My favorite one has a picture of a good luck fairy on it and when you open it, a magical sound of enchantment chimes out!

What I love the most about them is that they bring out a smile!

Now is about the time in the school year when you have been to your first parent teacher conference. Maybe you'd like to give your kids some extra encouragement and support, or maybe you want to show them how proud you are of their accomplishments!

Are they taking an important test or trying out for a part in the school play or a spot on a sports team? You'd like to boost your child's confidence while letting them know how much you care.

The new line of Hallmark cards is perfect for these moments, and it won't break your budget. The cards are priced from 99 cents to $2.99 each and are available wherever Hallmark cards are sold.


Win It!:
Two (2) of my readers will each receive a pack of 10 Hallmark kids encouragement cards! (ARV $25)

my daughter started middle school this year, need I say more? LOL. It seems like I am always encouraging her to ignore all the kids who don't treat people nice, and cards would be great to surprise her with an extra special message for her.
