Very cute idea but I would prefer it to be a little more durable. When you pick it up, sometimes the pictures slide off the magnets.

I gave this product as a Christmas present to a family member who loves unique items to display her son's pictures! She went absolutely crazy for this! She has it on her desk at work and says that everyone that passes by makes a comment about how "cool" it is!

I bought this for my sons' grandparents. I didn't realize that the photos were static. I was looking for something that allowed storage of many photos, as I have seen advertised elsewhere. It looked nice, and would be nice for a grandparent who wasn't technologically savvy. My sons' grandparents love gadgets, though, and will only use it as an occasional ornament. For the price, and the quality of the store, I was hoping for more. I should have read the description more carefully. It would be neat to have multiple pictures of each child, each with his own frame, on one ball.
Grandparents LOVED the gift, weak sound
By busy dentist mom with 4 kids
from Missouri on 1/11/2008
Pros:
Grandparents loved, Great gift, Sounds last forever
Cons:
'THUNK' sound if turned, Flimsy Construction, Poor sound quality
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I really loved the idea of this. I bought the silver and the "wood" style both. I think the wood style looks much better. I have a tradition of giving recorded Christmas ornaments and thought that the Grandparents could leave this out all year long. They absolutely loved this gift. However, I was disappointed in the sound quality--it sounds scratchy. Also, the "thunk" sound every time it's turned over makes it seem a bit cheap. I'd buy this gift again (and probably will buy more next Christmas), but I wouldn't mind spending a little more and getting better quality.

It's the best gift I could think of to send to meaningful relatives that are far away. If i can't make it in myself, sending them a message and a picture is wonderful. They loved it!

This is a great gift for someone at work. It is a novel gift and can be really fun. The pictures are actually panels that are magnetic and can come off almost too easily when handling the item. This as well as the very thin, and awkwardly shaped plastic panels for the picture insert is of a low quality. Therefore the product looks great and performs well but the construction is a little lacking. if it were any more expensive it would not be worth it.
Neat idea- Good grandparent gift

Got this for mother-in-law. Makes a good gift for grandparents- pictures of kids with their voices recorded. It seems durable but makes a sound like something is loose inside. Good price.
Good product, doesn't tell picture size.

Loved how you could put a different message with each picture. Didn't like that if the battery went dead you lost the messages. The information in the catalogue or with the ball didn't tell what size pictures to use.
