I love this product and it works well, you can see a difference i a couple of days. I will continue buying this product until my face becomes immune to it :-).

This was a Christmas present for my 18 month old son. He loved it from the moment he got it, and about 2 months later, he knows almost all of the words! He can't say them all, but I can ask him "where's the duck" or where's the "car" and he'll point to it. Some words he'll say in his own way. Like, I'll say, "what's this" while pointing to the dog, and he'll say "woof woof." Anyway, he loves his book, and it seems like he's really learned a lot from it so far. I also love how each page is grouped by a theme like food or bath time. It helps him to put words into categories. It's also the perfect size for him to hold and small enough to pack when we're headed out for the day.

My husband has gifted me one of these beautiful snowflakes for every Christmas we have been with each other. So, the collection is very special to me. When I read the less than enthusiastic responses to this one, I thought, "Well, each one has been different and beautiful, so I'm sure this will be the same!" Except, it's not. At all. It's flat and unexciting. There is very little to recommend it. Which is a shame considering this is the 25th year the company has released one of these. Wouldn't you think it would be extravagant? I'll put it on my tree and add it to the previous years, but I hope Swarovski reads these reviews and next year, we won't be disappointed in the annual snowflake.
