Hallmark has stretched the limits of technology and innovation and added in creative, personal touches to bring forward holiday gifts with meaning that will help make connections and create memories.
Hallmark DVD Greetings are an interactive new approach to the holiday newsletter. Each Hallmark DVD Greeting hosts a template that can be edited and customized with personal photos, burned to the included DVD and sent with the coordinating greeting card (also included). There are 13 different designs available in both individual and boxed cards.Suggested Retail Price: $9.99 - $19.99
Hallmark’s new Recordable Storybooks allow someone like a parent or grandparent to “read” a book to a child, even when they cannot be present. The Recordable Storybook features voice capture technology, recording the reader’s voice, which is captured within the book. When a child turns a page, the book automatically plays the text on that page in the reader’s voice. Hallmark Recordable Storybooks are great alternatives for out-of-town grandparents, parents in the military, or parents who travel on business who still want to “read” to their kids from across the miles. Titles include The Night Before Christmas, All the Ways I Love You, and Bright and Beautiful.Suggested Retail Price: $29.95
Hallmark’s Digital Scrapbooks incorporate multimedia enhancements including music, photos and text with personal photos which can then be displayed on a digital photo frame, computer screen, television or anywhere else you can plug in a USB drive. Digital Scrapbooks captions include Love, Holiday, Family, Baby and Friend.Suggested Retail Price: $19.95
These Keepsake Ornaments each include a space to add your own message, picture or voice for a unique way to personalize gifts and commemorate events.

More than 30 holiday Recordable Cards, both with and without Music, are available from Hallmark. Each allows the sender to record a 10-second voice message directly into the card.
