![]() With the Holiday Season rapidly approaching, there are so many gift possibilities that it can get overwhelming. Especially when you're dealing with finding that perfect gift for that hard to shop for person on your list. Who is that on MY list, you might ask? It would be Kyle, my 11 year old son. While he may be only 11 years old, he actually informed me in a matter of fact nature that he is "too old for toys" a few years ago. To make matters worse, he is not your typical boy. He is not interested in sports or action movies. He much prefers things of an artistic or musical nature. This makes shopping for him quite a challenge at times. That's why when I discovered Kaleidoscopes To You, a premier online gift shop specializing in gorgeously crafted kaleidoscopes and teleidescopes, I knew I had found something special. Sure, lots of kids have a kaleidoscope. They have been around for ages, making them a classic favorite among kids and adults alike. I remember the first time I looked into a kaleidoscope, made the wheels spin, and was greeted with a beautiful, ever-changing explosion of colors and shapes. But MY first kaleidoscope wasn't anything overly special. I think I won it at an amusement park, and it was made of cardboard or cheap plastic. Nothing spectacular, to say the least. But the kaleidoscopes offered by the folks at Kaleidoscopes To You ARE something special. You see, these aren't toys. These are works of art! They have a staggering selection of kaleidoscopes made from different woods, in many different finishes. They also offer brass kaleidoscopes, breathtaking jewelry, and even special kaleidoscopes made by renowned artists. These are a far cry from the cheap, plastic kaleidoscopes I remember having as a kid. (Although they DO carry a great selection of toy kaleidoscopes for younger kids, too!) Kaleidoscopes To You offers something beautiful to suit every taste, making them the perfect one stop gift shop for that special someone on your shopping list. They even make custom kaleidoscopes that can be fully personalized. Here are some of my personal favorites from Kaleidoscopes To You: I was thrilled to receive a 5.5" Kaleidoscope made from beautiful Rosewood for my review. My kaleidoscope arrived beautifully packaged in their signature navy box, and even included protective sleeves to help keep the scope and base safe from nicks and scratches. The wood was absolutely stunning. It is expertly crafted and polished, making it an instant showpiece fit to display in any home. This kaleidoscope features a double-wheeled design, which aids in creating a visually stunning display of colors, shapes, and patterns. The wheels contain vibrantly colored glass that when turned, create the fabulous designs we all know and love in a kaleidoscope. It's easy to use, too! You simply look into the end of the scope, turn one wheel or both, and get taken into a beautifully created show of art. It is very difficult to take a photo through a kaleidoscope, but I tried to anyway, just to show you how gorgeous the display of color is. Take a look: I know that my son will absolutely love this piece of art when he opens it on Christmas morning. It truly is something special. I absolutely love the quality of the piece, and I know that he will treasure his kaleidoscope from Kaleidoscopes To You for years to come. Overall, I am incredibly impressed by the vast selection of kaleidoscopes, teleidoscopes, and jewelry available at Kaleidoscopes To You. They have so many different options to choose from, and in every imaginable price range, too. I can attest firsthand to the superior workmanship and attention to detail that they put into each and every one of their products, and am very pleased with the fabulous rosewood piece that I received to review. Who knew that there was so much more to a kaleidoscope than a cardboard or plastic tube with a mediocre display? Kaleidoscopes can be elegant, beautiful, and true pieces of art that can be handed down from generation to generation for all to enjoy. So head on over to Kaleidoscopes To You. I know they'll change the way you look at these classic gifts, too! BUY IT: You can purchase this and many, many other stunning gifts on the Kaleidoscopes To You website.

I love that they have kits for creating your own kaleidoscope and the variety they have is fantastic! I can't say that I ever thought of gifting a kaleidoscope before but now I certainly am :)

My husband designs and builds giant kaleidoscopes, and believe it or not, was inspired by a tiny cardboard party favor. We're opening a show of his work in 2 weeks in Dublin, Ireland...too bad that pesky ocean is in the way...it sounds like your son would enjoy playing in our whoppers!
