This is a great idea and very cute, but the pictures fall off very easly. I bought this for my husband to have pics of our little boy b/c he works on the road. He can't use it b/c the pictures fall off in his truck. I think this would be great for a desk though.

My dad works out of town so I bought the photo ball for father's day and put all the grandkids pictures in there. They each recorded a message for their Papa. He loved it. He says that whenever he misses the kids, he just presses their pictures and he can hear their voices.

We got this as a Father's Day gift for my husband who recently got a desk job in a new city. Being away from the kids while we sell the house hasn't been fun! This ball is perfect for his desk as it doesn't take up too much space and is attractive. His co workers have fun making it talk and I recorded each for the kids saying something different to Daddy while he's away. The only concern I had was that it rattles inside when moved, I was worried it had a broken part, but it worked great!

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

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 kidsVerified Reviewer from Missouri on 1/11/2008
Pros:

Cons:
'THUNK' sound if turned, Flimsy Construction, Poor sound quality
Best Uses:

Describe Yourself:
Quality Oriented
Primary use:
Personal
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.

Novel Gift

Pros:
Attractive Design, Easy To Use

Flimsy Construction
Best Uses:

Describe Yourself:
Quality Oriented
Primary use:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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.

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.

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.
