Some of the best gifts are those that come from the heart. When it is personal and something special just for them, you are sure to light up their eyes. Thanks to Things Remembered, you can create many custom-engraved gifts for any special occasion. No matter who you are shopping for in your life, Things Remembered gives a wide variety of options to choose from to get that “just right” gift.
Things Remembered is offering Custom Musical Keepsake Jewelry Boxes this year that gives customers the chance to pick from three styles of boxes, Heart, Oval, or Rectangle. That’s not the only option either, as you can choose from several actual artist song recordings-“Can’t Help Falling in Love With You”, “My Girl”, “Unchained Melody”, and several more!
When I had the chance to check out the customizable music boxes, I knew I wanted something that would put a smile on my Mom’s face for Mother’s Day. We’ve always had a bit of an ornery relationship so I couldn’t help but laugh when I found a quote-
“I Smile because you are my Mom, I laugh because there’s nothing you can do about it!”
I selected the rectangle box for this engraving and knowing the love our entire family has for Elvis Presley, I picked out the song “Can’t Help Falling in Love with You” knowing it is bound to be a hit. It brings back memories for all of us and is a sentimental reminder of my Grandpa for my Mom to remember as well. She LOVED it. It is a very durable and big jewelry box. She easily could store most of her jewelry inside. My Mom told me she couldn’t wait to share it with all the people at her work.
Not sure a jewelry box is right for her? Things Remembered offers plenty of Mother’s Day Gift Ideas from jewelry to picture frames and more! I really enjoy the Things Remembered website and how you can easily look at gift ideas for occasions as well as by gift recipient.

I would pick the “Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong song, in the heart shape, and I think I would engrave it with “For all that you have put up with, for all that you do, I love you mom”

I think I’d pick “Wonderful World” because I really like that melody and the words behind it… even though it wouldn’t have words. 🙂 Engraving… Not sure… perhaps “Mom, You’ve always shown me the wonders of the world” or something similar.

i just called to say i love you ! in a heart shaped box. engraved for my sweetie!
commented on spring cleaning musts!
I have a friend who is celebrating a birthday in a few weeks. If I could pick one of the boxes, it would be in the shape of a heart and it would play “Wonderful World” by Louie Armstrong. I love that song and think she would enjoy it too for it is “our friends” who truly make our world a much better place. I think I would engrave it: Friends Forever or something to that effect. She has always been a good friend to me and each year, I appreciate her more and more for being such a faithful friend and always being there for me. She also has quite a jewelry collection, and I would love to give her something from the heart that she could put it all in. Thank you!
