The perfect gift for the kid whose power is super-coloring

The perfect gift for the kid whose power is super-coloring

If you--like me--have a little one who has become so devoted to all things "super" that you have to call breakfast "super-Cheerios" and explain that bedtime is the only way to recharge super-batteries, then I guarantee this is a truly super present.

These personalized superhero crayons at Cio Prints are the perfect way to a) indulge your kiddo's penchant for all things super and b) do so without any licensed characters to speak of. 

What I really love about the crayons--besides the fact that you can get both super boy and super girl versions--is that they're personalized in lots of different ways. Give the character on the box your child's hair and eye color and skin tone, then outfit him or her in your kid's favorite color. You also get to add your kid's name to the label--so cute.





And here's what else is super: the turnaround on these is just three to five days (one to two days if you submit a rush order), so there's still plenty of time for the holidays. Don't put it off, though--we parents have a lot of superpowers of our own, but turning back time isn't one of them. Yet. -Lexi
