Win a Hallmark Recordable Storybook…
Win a Hallmark Recordable Storybook PLUS ten more to giveaway to a local charity of your choice!
When Hallmark sent me, All The Ways I Love You, one of their Recordable Storybooks as a thank you gift at Christmas, I immediately fell in love with the concept of these incredible keepsake books.
Hallmark Recordable Storybooks feature voice-capture technology that records the reader’s voice directly into the pages of the Recordable Storybook. When a page is turned, the book automatically plays the text on that page in the reader’s voice.
The books are beautifully illustrated and written with the quality we expect from Hallmark, but personalizing each one with your own recording makes it a priceless gift for a loved one!
My two year old daughter ADORES her “special book.” (My eight year old son loves it too, but Olivia tries to keep it all to herself!)
Watch Olivia’s face light up and listen to her squeal as we read All The Ways I Love You at bedtime.
Hallmark now has ten Recordable Storybook titles available in Hallmark Gold Crown stores nationwide. Each title retails for $29.95. For more information, visit www.hallmark.com/recordablestorybooks.
Also, there’s a “Share Your Story Tab” on Facebook where people can submit their own personal stories. You can see how these books have touched others and submit your own story too if you want.
I cannot recommend these books more!!! They are brilliant — each one you give will be treasured forever.
Win for you AND for Charity!
We have one Hallmark Recordable Storybook to giveaway, PLUS ten more copies for a local charity of the winner’s choice!
As these Storybooks have touched lives from coast to coast, Hallmark wants to share all the Storybooks have to offer with members of your community, particularly those who may be separated from family or in need of gifts to share with loved ones.
Hallmark is providing 10 copies of a Recordable Storybook (selected by Hallmark) to donate to a local charity of our randomly selected winner’s choosing.
The selected charitable organization must be local to the winner, serving their area, (for instance, a military base, children’s hospital or shelter).
Because these books record voices, people who are separated from loved ones, such as children or people in the hospital, military families, or families in crisis, would be wonderful receipients.
Enter To Win
To enter, simply leave a comment letting us know the local charity to whom you would like to donate the ten additional copies if you win.
The winner will be chosen by random.
This giveaway will close on Friday, August 6th. We will announce our winners on Saturday, August 7th. This giveaway is open to US residents and is void where prohibited. Please see our site’s terms and conditions of use for more information.
While in order to simplify entering for you we no longer accept extra entries, please feel free to share this contest on Facebook and Twitter, and/or sign up for our newsletter, or add our feed to your reader. And you can like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter if you want!

I think I would donate the books to my church- our youth do outreach ministries and it would be great for them to be able to give these books to kids they encounter as they are out and about, sharing God’s love.
I would donate these to the Blank Children’s Hospital Cancer Ward in Des Moines, IA. It is the same charity that my kids Sunday School supports each year with a toy drive.
I would donate these to the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital because I have seen firsthand the work they do. My first daughter (who we lost at 12 days), had HLHS and was there for the duration of her life and my son, who had hydronephrosis, had 3 surgeries there. It is a wonderful place that gives hope to both the families and their children.
I would love to donate to the Sunshine Acres Children’s Home in my town. Thanks!
I would give them to the hospital where my brother in law works because it is a pediatric cardiology department where there are very sick children who would probably love to have one of these great books.
I would like the 10 copies donated to any homeless shelter for the children.
I would give this books to my church.
I would donate these books to either Every Woman’s Place here locally which is a battered and homeless shelter for women and their children OR I would send them to Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital which is located in Grand Rapids, MI about 45 minutes away from where I live. They would really love to get those there for sure. Thanks so very much for hosting this truly wonderful giveaway.

It’ll be a toss up between our church’s youth group or the local military families organization.
This is adorable and so worthwhile…
I would love to give the books to the area Ronald McDonald House…
So often parents bring a child to the area hospital for an extended stay, and one parent needs to return home to work…this book( with the leaving parents’ recorded voice) would be a comfort to the child, and to the parent!!
What a blesing!
My daughter is severely autistic so if I win I would donate to a charity that has personally helped my family, the autism services center of Huntington WV.
I think that the kids would really enjoy these books. It would be great to record a parent voice because they really respond to things like that.
I would choose the Texas Children’s Cancer Center to donate the books to.
Oh I would love to give this to the early learning center that my wee ones just graduated from and that I was PTO president of for the last two years. One of our goals has been getting up to the recommended goal of 250-500 books per classroom, and we’ve made so much progress (we started with some classrooms at 10). Fingers crossed!
I’d love to donate these to Children’s Hospital in Seattle!
I would donate them to the Family Readiness Officer on the Military Base where I live. The books can go to “some” of the families who will have a parent deploying to the Middle East next year. My Husband is one of them… He’s currently on Deployment number 7. I would LOVE to have one of these books for my kids with Daddy’s voice!
I would love to have one of these to share with my two sons…what a special gift! I would donate the rest of the books to the pediatric center in Yakima Valley Memorial Hospitial:)
I think these would be cute to give to the childrens wing in the hospital.

I would really love to donate them to St. Jude’s Childrens Hospital.
I have seen these at Hallmark and thought they were a great idea. As a single mom I just can’t afford $30 on a book so it would be GREAT to win one
I would like my 10 copies to go to the Duke Children’s Hospital in Durham NC.
I would donate the books to the Iowa National Guard’s FRG. The Iowa National Guard is preparing to deploy to Afghanistan for a year beginning in August and there are many children who would love to receive a book with their mother or father’s voice reading them a story. While there are many advances in technology allowing communication between the soldiers and their family members back home there is no guarantee as to the availability to the soldiers for phone or email. This is especially difficult for children to understand and while it is not the same as talking to their loved ones its nice to hear their voice.
What a wonderful gift for children! I would love for the books donate to the local shelter,New London Homeless Hospitality Center
Thanks
These are awesome books! I would donate them to our local YWCA women’s shelter.
id love to win one of these so my mother who always reads to my daughter, could record one for her!
my charity would be my local FOP, so they could distribute at Christmas to families they adopt!
i would donate them to our local childrens hospital

If I win, I want the books to go to the Duke Children’s Miracle Network! Thanks

I would donate the books to Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in Nashville.
I would donate these book to the shriners children’s burn hospital here in Kentucky
What a great idea! My children would love this book. I would donate the extra copies to the local hospital. What a wonderful thing for a child to have who is stuck in the hospital without his or her family. I think it would be comforting to at least hear a parents voice .
Wow. What a great giveaway! I would choose Phoenix Children’s Hospital. They are great, and do a lot in making our community of drowning prevention. (My baby cousin was a drowning victim) I would love to have the children at the hospital listen to a familiar voice reading them a story during their stay. Thanks for the opportunity!
I would donate the extra copies to a local battered women’s shelter
What a great way to build interest in Hallmark’s recordable storybooks! I would love to be able to give recordable books to the Delaware Association for the Blind. The Delaware Association for the Blind is a private non-profit 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) agency serving legally blind and severely visually impaired adults and children in Delaware.
I would donate my 10 books to Duke Children’s Hospital It would be a great to give to these children who are battling illnesses that they don’t understand. This would be a great gift for the younger children to help them have a bright spot in their day.
This would be a perfect gift to donate to Covenant Home School Resource Center in Phoenix. They service hundreds of homeschooling families each year, and many of them are struggling to make ends meet. Covenant offers a new and used homeschool bookstore, classes for students, testing, workshops for parents and incredible encouragement and equipping so families can be successful in the homeschooling journey. These books would be ideal gifts for some of the moms who lack confidence in their skills.
Thanks!
I would donate these books to The Primary Children’s Hospital. As a young child I spent some time there when I had my first open-heart surgery.
I would donate the books to St. Luke’s Hospital in Cedar Rapids
I’d love to donate to our local teen crisis pregnancy center. That would be awesome!
Thanks,

I would donate them to the christmas giving tree at our church that provides gifts for homeless children.
I would donate to the Upper Valley Haven – a local charity and and shelter that provides incredible support and education for both adults and children in need.
