This lucky Mummy received an early Mother’s Day treat today . . .
Any girl is going to be excited by a pretty Links of London box!
When I was asked to review the Links of London Everlasting Postcard I was thrilled. The process is pretty simple – you download a form, complete it with your order details, write your message to be engraved on the postcard template and then send it back. I decided to keep the note a surprise and asked Dave to take over this bit – he sat down with Ben & Chloe to get them to write a message. Aside from them finding it tricky to keep within the lines (and just getting them to sit still long enough to make a good attempt at it) the whole process was very simple.
So as I opened the gorgeous cream Links of London box this afternoon I didn’t really know exactly what I was going to find. There was a super soft drawstring bag keeping my beautiful gift safe and protected. I couldn’t wait to get the bag open to see what they had written . . .
It’s pretty difficult to get a good photo of the postcard itself as it’s so shiny it’s like trying to take a picture in a mirror . . .
This is the best photo I managed to get!
It makes such a gorgeous gift – I’ve got a permanent record of their writing at this moment in their lives. Ben was super excited when he saw the postcard with his handiwork engraved on it.
I think the postcard would be really great as a romantic wedding gift or even for a proposal – just make sure you use your best handwriting!
