GIFT IDEAS


Since reading an article in the Sac Bee Business section in 1996, about this home based company, I have bought and sent many of these - the greatest baby gift I’ve ever come across. It is a 30 min personalized cd in a beautiful cd case and costs only $18 or $25 if you include printed lyrics. I have always received enthusiastic thank-you notes. Definitely one of a kind.
