When I told my 6-year-old that we were getting to view a special video from CrossTimber – Name Meaning Gifts, she was super excited! And the final product, Your Amazing Name – Personalized Adventures for EVERY name!, did not disappoint.
If you’re looking for a unique gift idea for your kids, then Your Amazing Name might be the perfect solution.
What is included in Your Amazing Name Gift
Your Amazing Name is produced by CrossTimber, a family-owned business which creates personalized videos for children. The basic product is a 28 minute video which takes the viewer on a fun journey to the moon and back, to a wise owl, and finally to a cute sheep. All along the way, your child’s name is mentioned over 20 times!
When you first purchase this product, you will fill out a form with information about your child’s name. You’ll also submit a piece of artwork produced by your child for featuring in the video. Finally, you’ll have the opportunity to submit a personalized letter from you to your child about the meaning, story, or circumstances behind their name.
All of these items show up in the video in a creative way!
Once you purchase the digital video, you also have the opportunity to upgrade to a DVD.
Additionally, there are other name-related products you could purchase from CrossTimber.
Your kids will learn about the origin of their name, the original language that name originated from, and also other interesting facts.
These videos are produced from a Christian perspective, as they feature Bible verses reminded your child that they are special to God. The whole premise of the video is that God knows your child by name.
About Our Amazing Name Video
My daughter knew the video was coming, but she didn’t know what to expect. She was pleasantly surprised to see her artwork pop up on the screen in front of her.
Hearing her name mentioned so many times was super special too.
But I think the best part of the video was near the end when a personalized letter from me & her dad was shown on a scroll and read aloud. It was sweet for us to be able to remind her of the special circumstances behind her name.
I was a bit skeptical about what the quality would be like, but pleasantly surprised by how well done the final product was. The animations are cute, the voices are great, and the way they weave in the personalized items are really impressive.
