Some of the most precious gifts that I’ve received over the years have been personalized gifts. There is just something about receiving a necklace that has been engraved with a personal message or a frame that already has a picture of my girls placed in it! And one of my very favorite places to shop for personalized gifts is Things Remembered!
This year Things Remembered has an amazing line of Mother’s Day gifts, including some beautiful charm bracelets, necklaces, and picture frames. Each gift can be personalized and is amazingly affordable!
One of my favorite items on the Things Remembered Mother’s Day gift list is the Custom Musical Keepsake Box:
These silver-plated, beaded musical jewelry boxes feature a soft black interior that is elegant and spacious, giving you plenty of space to hold many rings, bracelets, and necklaces. What sets these jewelry boxes apart from others out there is that you get to personalize your Keepsake Box in three different ways:
Step 1: Choose from one of three different shapes (heart, oval, or rectangle)
Step 2: Select a classic song for your Keepsake Box. My favorite is “What A Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong, but you can choose from the Jackson Five to Elvis to the Temptations.
Step 3: Add your own personal message. This is where you can really express your love or appreciation for that special someone, or at least where you can butter them up (i.e. gift for the Mother-in-Law)! If you need help coming up with something clever or lovely, just look around at Things Remembered — they have some great suggestions that will help inspire you!
That’s it! Three easy steps and you have a beautiful, personalized gift for that special lady in your life this Mother’s Day! With the Custom Musical Keepsake Boxes starting at just $40, you could even pick up one for each of the moms in your life!!! While you’re visiting Things Remembered, don’t forget to shop around for some personalized gifts for grads, dads, and those upcoming summer weddings you’ll be attending!
To help celebrate Mother’s Day this year, Things Remembered is giving ten lucky moms a free personalized frame with their “Mom Memories Picture Contest”! All you have to do to enter is submit your favorite family photo, along with an engraving you’d pick to go with your picture. Not only could you win a chance to get your own personalized frame, but you might also be featured in a Things Remembered email! You can see all the details at ThingsRemembered.com.
As a part of our Mother’s Day Giveaway, Things Remembered wants to treat one reader to their very own Custom Musical Keepsake Box!!! To enter, simply tell us who you would give this beautiful gift to or if you’d keep it for yourself (there’s no shame in that, I can always use a new jewery box!).
This giveaway is open to US residents and closes on May 4. Our lucky winner will be announced on May 5, along with our other Mother’s Day Giveaway winners.

I would give this to my daughter, who is only 2 at the moment…but I would want to save it for her, and have it be something she keeps and treasures always. She is my only daughter, so meaningful things between us–gifts like the personalized music box –are things that are extra-special and adored by both of us already.
Beautiful!
I am a big fan of Things Remembered and I would keep this pretty box for myself

Yes, I would definitely treat myself!

I would LOVE to give this to my daughter in law (well she WILL be this fall) who has 2 little ones and has sacrificed SO much the past 4 years while my son has been in college. I know they do not have money for gifts now, so she will probably not receive any Mother’s Day gifts. I would LOVE to sneak in and have this made for her to have FROM her kids. I know she would be very touched and although she is not drowning in jewels to place in a beautiful box such as this, she has a FEW treasures that might find their way there!
THANKS to you & THINGS REMEMBERED! I love to find photo albums there for wedding or baby gifts!
I would give it to my niece for her graduation present.
Beautiful! Things Remembered has some beautiful items. Thanks for getting them as a sponsor.

I would give this beautiful box to my niece who is expecting her first child in November!
I would love to give this to my daughter as a keepsake.
Is it dumb that I would consider giving it to my dad? We danced to that song at my wedding.
I would be super tempted to keep this for myself, but my mother in law would get much more use out of a beautiful jewelry box so I would give it to her.
My mother in law has both a birthday and mother’s day coming up, so I would probably give it to her (although I would be super tempted to keep it for me!)
My wife would love this!
I would give it to my mom or friend. I would not keep it for myself.

I’d give this to my eldest daughter.
I’d probably give this to my mom. We are blessing her with grandbaby #6 shortly (#2 child for us). She has been such a wonderful mother to me and my siblings and such a loving grandmother.
I’d either give it to my mom or keep it myself. Decisions… decisions…
I would put it away to give to my daughter later on. 🙂

I think I might keep it myself. Presently I have a heart trinket box holding earrings and the hinge is breaking. This could replace that. Thanks
I would definitely give this to my mother – my father, before he passed, used to give her small, enameled boxes similar to this!
I would give this ti my more-than-deserving mom 🙂 I love you mom!
I would keep it for myself. I have no idea what I would get engraved on the top, but I would use it to hold what I call my ‘Mom jewelry’ . Pieces that are special to me and represent my son. Thank you! 🙂

What a treasured gift. I’d love to give it to my Mom from my children.
I would give the box to my Aunt. She has lost 2 sons, an dis the only one left of her siblings. But through it all she has been strong and cheerful. She has given love when needed and not asked for anything in return. She loves Jesus and lives as an example for others.
I would love to give this to my sister-in-law. She is due with her first baby in a week, but she’s scheduled for induction on Monday (if she doesn’t have him sooner). So this will be her first Mother’s Day this year.
I would give it to my Daughter who is a ballerina from her MOTHER who is not! HEE HEE!
i would gift this to my three year old daughter (after three boys!). she has a few special pieces of real jewelry for very special occasions, and this would be perfect to keep them in.
This would be perfect for my grandma.
I think this would be a beautiful gift for my daughter. She’s only 5 but every girl deserves something beautiful. It would be something to be cherished and loved for years.

I would give this as a gift, because I cherish mine that was a gift from my husband.

I would give this to my momma.
I’d give it to my daughter. She would love it!
Hello I am writing to nominate my mother Corinthia Sampson for this great mother’s day package. My mother went through a lot of pain throughout her life and despite it all she managed to raise me and my younger brother alone successfully as well as help others raise their children. I look at my mother as a “superwoman” because many people call her “mother” she has been a counselor, mother, confidont, sister and friend for many that had nobody at some point and time. She is overall a giving person and never looks for anything in return. I just want my mom to take a break at some point and time but she always is somewhere aiding to need of others and sometimes never to herself. I love my moms spirit and I cherish her God given abilities. I thank God daily for such a peaceful and loving mother. I wouldn’t change anything about her.
I’d give it away as a great present. Soo cute!
this would be the perfect gift to give to my mother-in-law for mother’s day she would love it
This would be a perfect Mother’s Day gift for my sister!
I would give this musical box to a lady that I call mom. My mother passed away when I was 29 (just before my first born) and I am lucky enough to have another “mom” who has brought me in and treated my entire family as her own. I am blessed.
My Mother in Law
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Things Remembered! I always give an engraved picture frame to newlyweds and new parents. I just love seeing their faces when they open it up!

I would give it to my grandma.
