Personalized children's books you could hang on the walls
I'm pretty sure there's nothing most kids love more than seeing their name or likeness in anything, hence the slew of personalized books that cram my daughter's bookshelves.

Her most recent birthday gift was a personalized book found at MJM Books, a cool company founded by three brothers. (Matt, Jeff, and Mike - get it?)  What's special about these custom books is that they incorporate real artwork by real artists - no clip art or photoshopping at all. The cute stories all made to order and printed on recycled paper, seamlessly infuse your kiddo's name and likeness; all you do is pick sex, hair color, eye color, and skin tone, and they do the rest.

The idea came to them when Jeff created a cool personalized book for Matt's daughter Olivia which everyone in the world fell in love with. Including my daughter, who won't put her copy of If I Were Big down. In fact we've been reading it every single night (sometimes twice) for the last week, which is more action than any of the toys she received are getting. -Kristen

Check out the fantastic personalized kids' books at MJM Books.
