Send a Digital Flower via the Flowerling App and Have a Real Tree Planted

Flowers make a wonderful gift for almost any occasion - holidays, birthday, anniversary, graduation, housewarming, Get Well Soon, Thank You, Be My Valentine...just to name a few. But unfortunately they can't be a gift that will last. No matter how much care you give to a beautiful bouquet you receive, it is bound to wither and die in a matter of days. I hate to see those expensive flowers going into trash. It's really wasteful, especially when you take into account the layers of elegant wrapping paper used for presentation, oversized boxes used for delivery and all the carbon footprints associated with packaging, delivery and disposal. To my delight, a new mobile app called Flowerling offers a more socially responsible and eco-friendly way to buy and send flowers. Isn't it cool to send a digital flower in this digital age? Better yet, for each virtual flower sent, a REAL tree will get planted!

The Flowerling app is free to download in iTunes app store and works on both iPhone and iPad. The first time you open the app, you will be prompted to create an account, which is also free and only asks for your name and email. Ready to buy some flowers from the Flowerling store? You will need to purchase coins, with a price range from 99 cents for 5 coins to $9.99 for 55. The coins never expire.

The Flowerling store offers a wide variety of flowers, bouquets and vases starting at 3 coins each. You can browse all the available items by category, or simply type in what you'd like using the search function on the upper right corner of your screen. You can pick your favorite flowers and assemble them into a bouquet. I find the pre-made bouquets to be a more economical option as each costs up to 10 coins (which amounts to just $1.99). That's way much cheaper than sending real followers and there's no need to deal with stinky water ever!

By default, all your purchases will be stored in your greenhouse. You can discover more things to do with each item when you click on it.

Like real flowers, your flowerling ages over time, with a lifespan of 8 days. You can extend that for several days by watering your flowerling or buying food for it. You also have the option to send it to a loved one or compost it. For me, it was fun to water the flowers and see the green bar (which indicates its life span) grow.

Turn Your Family History into a Children's Book with a Memoir Writer

Every family is unique and has their own story to tell. The word "biography", especially when referred to in a published book form, is frequently associated with historical figures and celebrities in various fields, such as politics, business, science and technology, and the entertainment industry. But have you ever thought about publishing your very own biography? Don't rush to shake your head because you don't feel comfortable writing or can think of nothing worth writing about right away. There are professionals who are ready to help you out, known as personal historians or memoir writers.

Life is a story, no matter how uneventful it may seem at a glance. A talented memoir writer like Nechamie Margolis may help you see more in yourself than you can possibly realize on your own. There is such an abundance of noteworthy milestones and precious memories in your personal and family histories that you may want to preserve them in the most beautiful form of presentation possible. And Writing the Soul offers the perfect way to do so!

Nechamie offers a variety of writing services through her website Writing the Soul, including personal memoirs, tributes, family cookbooks, video biographies and more. The one I find most special and interesting is her Children's Book package, which produces a family history book written in the language of children and printed with a mix of photos and illustrations. What a wonderful idea to turn your family history into a fun children's book that can be handed down from generation to generation while letting the kids learn better about their childhood, or the lives of their parents, grandparents and even their ancestors! It'd definitely make one of the best personalized gifts ever!

Explore the rain forest, the ocean, and the icecaps with this personalized guide for your animal-lover! National Geographic Little Kids Book of Animals is a colorful introduction to some of the world’s coolest creatures.

I received both books personalized for my boys for review. First of all, I'm impressed with the fast and easy ordering process and the amount of personalization allowed for each book. You can not only personalize the books with your child's name, but you can also add her photo and a special dedication message. I'm also very pleased with the premium printing quality and rich contents of the books. The Book of Animals for instance, features beautiful photos of each wild animal alongside quick facts about its size, diet and habitat. Fun questions are raised to keep the young reader thinking and exploring. The books go beyond educating the kids about animals and dinosaurs by encouraging the kids to get creative. On the final pages, your child can mark their favorite animal or dinosaur characteristics, and draw themselves as their favorite animal or dinosaur. My boys had tremendous fun reading and interacting with the books. You can order them for your child through the links above or wait to win them from the contest!

A locket necklace is a convenient and stylish way to carry along your favorite picture that captured the moment you want to cherish forever.

When it comes to designing the inside of the locket, you can upload one photo to the left side and a different one to the right side, or have a mix of photo and text. I love that their app allows me to resize and adjust the position of the photo to my desired look. The next step is to choose between text and monogram in block or script font to add to the back side of the locket. You will then be prompted to select your favorite chain to match the locket.
