I had heard of personalizationmall.com about a year ago when a family member gave me one of those memory Christmas ornaments for my mother who died back in 㤎. I had browsed there a few times and saw some nice stuff, just no occasion to buy any of it.

Just a few days ago, a hand me down lap desk my oldest had been using fell apart again, and I was tired of hot gluing the pieces back together. So, I threw it away and decided to find her another one, so I did just an online search for ‘kids lap desk’ and personalizationmall.com came up in the results, so I decided to check it out.

To be honest, I am a personalization nut. Personalized purses especially, but we do have a few other items I have collected in the past that are personalized- aprons, towels, a huge bbq plate, robes, and other items. So, this personalizationmall.com was right up my alley.

So, when I clicked on the search results link, it took me right to the spot where they had the lap desk listed. It was polka dotted, but then they had another choice of pink and lime green plaid as well, and it was a pretty generous size at 17 inches long and 12 inches wide. But, it was priced at $23.95, but to be honest, I couldn’t find anymore lap desks out there that were the pillow type lap desks that were any cuter, so I bought one of each for both of my kids.

Anyway, as far as site navigation, it is pretty easy, they do have a search feature, but you can shop via some drop down menus and shop by occasions, such as birthday, Valentine’s Day, sympathy, Christmas, retirement, and other occasions, or you can shop by recipient, such as for him, her, kids, graduates, babies, friends, doctors, military, mom, for the home, and others.

They also have a drop down menu of the following shops:

Valentine’s Day
Wedding and Anniversary
Baby
Birthday
Career and Business
Golf gifts
Ladies
Men
Kids
Home and Entertaining
Jewelry
Memorial Gifts
Pet land
Photo Memories
Stationery and Party
Law Gifts
Medical Gifts
Military gifts
Teacher gifts
Clearance
So, I wandered around some of these stores, and they had lots and lots of items available and with everything in the store, you get free personalization. I really didn’t need anything else, so I just ended up with the lap desks, but if you were ever in need of a gift for a special occasion, this would be a good place to hit up, especially if someone were going into the law or medical field, they have some really unique gifts for those areas. Most of the stuff I saw I hadn’t seen somewhere else, and free personalization for me is great- I know a lot of places out there don’t offer free personalization, and it can get expensive.

Ok, so I was all ready to checkout, and I decided to register at the site so when I came back I would be all ready to go. They accept all major credit cards. I also happened to do an online search for coupon codes, and I happened to find an online code that saved me 15% on my order. Oh, and also, personaliazationmall.com does participate in the Ebates program, where you can get a percentage of your purchase price back, and this particular store contributes 8% back.

As for shipping, for $47 in lap desks, I paid $9.95 for shipping, which was a little steep in my opinion, but I hadn’t found a better lap desk anywhere else so, might as well get the ones I saw. The prices on some of the items are a little expensive, but a lot of the stuff I saw was very unique and you wouldn’t see it elsewhere.

I got a confirmation email right after I placed my order. Three days later, I got an email saying my order had shipped via USPS, then two days later I had my merchandise, which I thought was pretty fast service considering they had to be personalized and all.

As for the lap desks, they look really good- even better than what they looked online. My oldest thinks the cupholder on the lap desk is the greatest thing ever, and to me, the lap desk is of great quality, very well made, and a pretty nice size, so the price wasn’t as bad as I initially perceived.

Overall, I would completely recommend this site- the stuff I had from there is of very high quality and it is very unique, so to me it is worth the price. I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.
