This past Christmas I had the pleasure of showing you some of Hallmark’s newest products including the Recordable Storybook which was a huge hit and sold out coast to coast. Earlier in the year I shared with you their Edge of Motherhood cards, celebrating the joys of motherhood and all the humor required for the job. Now I’m excited to tell you about their newest greeting card creation, the webcam greetings.
Webcam greetings are like no other greeting card you’ve seen before. While they look and feel like regular card they have a special bonus for the recipient! Simply visit www.hallmark.com/extra and follow the directions to be able to view a 3D animated feature by holding the greeting card up to the web camera. The animation works no matter which way the card is moved. Some cards even display various scenes as the card is turned in different angles in front of the webcam.
Check out the video below to see the webcam greeting in action and be amazed!
We got the chance to review two Valentine’s Day webcam greetings and were blown away by the originality and certainly appreciated the affordability. I did have troubles getting the software to recognize our built in webcam on our smaller laptop in Firefox but my husband is a genius and suggested we try Internet Explorer. Good thing I married him or I wouldn’t have been able to view hoops & yoyo being annoyingly cute yet irresistible as they jumped on screen.
I’m sure it is no surprise that my kids both were fascinated and mesmerized by these cards and wanted to watch them over and over. Can you blame them? These are totally fun and completely different than anything I’ve seen. I think they would be a great way to put a smile on anyone’s face this Valentine’s Day without having to spend a lot in the process!
Ten cards currently are available for Valentine’s Day and additional webcam greetings will be added throughout the year. A majority of the cards are only $2.99, although those included a sound clip that plays when the recipient opens the card (clip is audible without going online) retail for $5.99.
You can purchase webcam greetings from your local Hallmark store. Use the store locator to find the nearest one to you!
