Week 8, Volume 5 : Hello Mr.President!

Well well well…after 2 years of campaigning, endless primaries, a multitude of candidates, a near miss for a potential Mrs.President, and the word “change” rocketing from the obscure pages of Webster’s dictionary into the rockstar position of being the keyword for all campaigns. 

I don’t know about you, but I’m exhausted.  It takes a lot to keep up with all the comings and goings from one party to the other and from one channel to the other.  Needless to say I did my part and waited in the merely tolerable waiting lines in order to get my turn at the voting booth.  Now as much as I would like to get on my soapbox about telling everyone the importance of voting, I would prefer to think about how I could commemorate my first voting booth experience  

Without sounding too much like a voting amateur I got to thinking what a historic election I had taken part in, and what in the world could someone get to commemorate the event.  So I got to browsing through the different items we had in the HG catalogue and with some help from Robert we picked out a few items that would perfectly match the occasion.

T317 & T311

 Naturally I would start off with some of digital photo frames, being a crazy tech-head myself, nothing says “special” like a high quality image wrapped inside a stylish personalized frame.  

4029

Of course, there’s always the more traditional route with the 4029 Big Picture Magnifier.  You can have any coin placed inside the magnifier such as presidential dollars or what not. Plus, if coins aren’t your thing, you can always place a digital imprint inside and that can be anything you like.  Either way, its a great keepsake that can be handed down to the next generation.

7714

Now, not everyone wants something digital or even something as heavy as a paperweight.  Never fear, I have a solution!  The 7714 keychain is perfect for someone that just wants a little something to remember the occasion (I’ll probably get something like this for myself). 

The election, as groundbreaking as it was, is now part of history and we look forward to the future with President-Elect Obama.  I think everyone will agree that this is indeed a very exciting time and I know that Hirsch Gift will always be here to help commemorate each and every moment.
