Cute but....

Comments about Lillian Vernon "Foto" Pockets:

This product is great and exactly what I was looking for to hang pictures in my 3-year old's room. The only complaint I have is that I ordered it with blue personalization, and the letters are purple with glitter/sparkles. Not really appropriate for a boy, but it's a minor detail. I also ordered one for my niece in pink and that one was fine, pink with no glitter.

Comments about Lillian Vernon "Foto" Pockets:

I use this for all the Christmas cards that we get with pictures on them. We put them in every year over the year before pictures so whenever we want to see how a child or family has grown we have them all below the current year picture. My kids love to look at their friends and family through the years!!!

Wonderful product. I bought one for my 9 year old daughter and one for my classroom. My daughter changes pictures in hers frequently and can do it herself. I use mine for pictures I take in the classroom. I display it in the hall and have received many compliments. I also bought one for another teacher and she can't wait to use it!

Comments about Lillian Vernon "Foto" Pockets:

I bought two of these last Christmas. I gave one to my grandaughter that was in her 1st yr of college and she absolutely loves it because she can change the pictures so easily and it holds 40 pictures and you know how kids love having pics of all their friends and family displayed. The second was for my 7 yr old grandaughter whose parents are divorced and she keeps it at her dad's house so when she goes for her weekend stay over she can see all these pics of her and her mom. Now I'm buying 1 for my mom, who is in a nursing home, for family pics that we will be able to keep up to date with no trouble at all.

Exactly what we wanted!!!!

Practical & inexpensive & custom gift

By Mom of three girls

from Kissimmee, FL on 2/8/2008

Pros:

Useful

Cons:

Names could be bigger

Best Uses:

Decorative

Describe Yourself:

Homeowner

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon "Foto" Pockets:

I purchased 6 of these for girls all under 6 years of age. I like them because they can put fun pictures of themselves alone or together. I put mine up in the playroom so that my girls can look at the pictures with their friends whenever they come over to play. The moms loved it and put pictures in them right away. The only thing I didn't like was that I expected the names to be displayed bigger. Some seem to be bigger than others. Other than that, I liked them and the price was not so bad.

Good but hard to get pictures in slots

By Sara the Long Distance Aunt

from Salt Lake City UT on 11/30/2007

Pros:

Durable, Kid- Friendly

Cons:

Very hard to get pics in

Describe Yourself:

Long distance aunt

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon "Foto" Pockets:

This was great for my niece who lives far away from me. I had thought that the photo slots would be the length of the photo not the width. As a result you have further to slide the photo. About 3 went in without a hassle but the rest of them (17!) were a definitely a challenge to get in. Overall, I'd still recommend it though.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon "Foto" Pockets:

This item is great - we bought two, one for our son's room & one for our daughter's room. We have no local family & thought this would be a great way for our kids to "grow up" with their family everyday!

Service & Delivery comments:

Delivery came fast, however, the names on the top were crooked. I emailed the company & received a response the same day that a replacement order has been processed & they are sending new ones. I am so impressed by that! I definitely feel comfortable buying again due to the excellent customer service I received!

Great way to display goals and pictures

By Jewelzbeetle

from Lake Havasu City, AZ on 10/15/2007

Pros:

Easy to Use

Best Uses:

Bedroom

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon "Foto" Pockets:

I did not have mine personalized, so I have no color at all for my "foto" pocket, kind of disappointing. I like this product, with only one fixable complaint,I will have to insert some cardboard or posterboard when I insert the pictures so that it does not curl while hanging on the wall. It is great to put up pictures, want's for xmas, goals, etc, and my daughter does love it. I like the fact that it is clear and you can put pictures on both sides and flip it when you want to look at other pictures.

Well worth it!

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon "Foto" Pockets:

I got this to display family photographs for my 2 year old daughter. It was great. She loves looking at the pictures and naming everybody and I love that it makes it easy for her to learn everybody's names (especially those distant relatives). I intended to put it in her play room, but it was so popular, it never left the kitchen where I first hung it. Plus, it's inexpensive, so I don't worry about it getting damaged.

Love this product.

Color

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon "Foto" Pockets:

Looks pink in the picture, but is actually clear...the only pink on there are the letters in her name.
I see now that the description says it is clear, but the picture truly made me think it would be pink. DIsappointed by that, but will work. Although not very attractive...will only use in the kid's rooms.

Awesome for kids!!

I love this product! It is unique, creative, and adorable. The design is very simple with a bunch of pockets to fill with pictures, but once you have filled the pockets it is useful, practical, and looks attractive. I used this product to hang on my daughters bedroom doors and they love it! Each child choses the pictures they want to add and it gives a special personalization to their room. Cute idea and would recommend.

This is a great product [...]. I was very pleased with the quality and loved that it was personalized. My kids can look at all their family and friends every day and change out the pictures as they grow. Also reduces clutter by taking out some picture frames... I already put one away for a Chirstmas gift for my nephew, and may even purchase more! Great price too I thought!
