I spent quite a while looking for Yogi Bear items at Jelly Stone that had my kids names on them. Unfortunately, the only child with any choice at all was my Jacob. I honestly thought there would be something there with the name Blake on it. Mind you–it would have been blue, and my Blake is pink–but hey—it would have had her name on it. But with two little boys named unusual first names-I knew I would be out of luck for something with Grayson or Barrett on it. The closest I got was Gary!

After that experience you can just imagine how excited I was to find Identity Direct. They have over 500 items that can be personalized. Right now since it’s back to school, I imagine that the pencils, markers and lunch boxes are going quick. But with a selection that even includes trademarked items such as Disney’s Princesses or Sesame Street (among a ton of other choices) there are even cute birthday and Christmas present ideas. Clocks, place mats, poems, and even story books featuring your child’s name and personalize information. How cool is that!

Now not only can I get a ‘pink’ Blake–I can get her whole name Blakelynn, not to mention getting my Grayson and Barrett covered as well! I can’t wait to start shopping! Once school starts–all of our kid’s birthday’s fall within weeks of each other-with a Christmas holiday stuck in the middle!
