Frecklebox

I recently tried out the Frecklebox service and ordered a Princess coloring book for my daughter, Lucie. It took me a second to type in her name and then I could preview the book to see exactly what each page looked like.

We received the coloring book a few days later. I was very impressed with the quality of the cover, a thick, glossy stock and the paper. No cheap newsprint here. Lucie loved the book and immediately started coloring away. The Princess coloring book sells for $6.95 and comes with a small set of crayons. This would make a terrific birthday present or holiday gift.
