Review and Giveaway: Personalized Parcel

I love having the opportunity to try out products. I have found many new product favorites this way. Even so, it's nice when am able to "share the wealth" with family and friends who can help me review.

Recently, I was given an opportunity to work with an amazing woman named Dez Stephens who owns the company Personalized Parcel.

Personalized Parcel creates custom care packages for you to send to the special people in your lives. Do you remember being in college and receiving those special packages from home containing your favorite mom-baked cookies, magazines, and other goodies? I didn't receive many, but the ones I did, I love receiving. It was like getting a little piece of home to have with me while I was away. Dez Stephens and PERSONALIZED PARCEL helps you to send those packages to the ones you care about, without the time consuming shopping and shipping.

Each parcel is uniquely designed with the recipient in mind. They are particularly helpful when trying to find "just the right gift" - especially when you live miles away.

Dez states that "Putting parcels together for my clients is so much fun to me. Some clients know exactly what they want and others want lots of ideas from me. Either way, it’s a true pleasure to put together customized care packages - knowing that the people on the other end of them will undoubtedly have a big smile on their face when they realize the special thought someone else put in for them to receive their gift! "

When Dez contacted me about reviewing Personalized Parcel, I knew right away I wanted to send a care package to my mom. Our family has been through the ringer these past months. Through it all, and even though she is battling her own health issues, my mom has been the rock of our family. She has always put her children first, and I wanted to find a small way to thank her for all she has done for me. A Personalized Parcel was the perfect way to do this!

Dez was extremely patient with me. She asked questions about my mom's likes and dislikes. We sent many emails back and forth as together, we brainstormed the perfect contents for my mom's care package. I can honestly tell you that Dez truly cares about making sure that her client and the intended recipient of the Personalized Parcel is happy. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again in the future!

Once all of the items were assembled, I was sent a photo of them and Dez asked me to write a personalized note to be included in the package.

When my mom received the box, she was thrilled! She loved everything inside- especially the note. Her happiness proved Personalized Parcel a success for me!

I recommend Personalized Parcel for anyone who wants to put a smile on the face of a loved one by sending them a surprise in the mail.

Dez was generous enough to offer one very lucky reader a chance to win a Personalized Parcel! This is a great prize. :)
