Close to Her Heart Personalized Garden Stone Customer Reviews

I was a bit disappointed that a couple of the names were only printed once and others more than once. Grandchildren were upset about it.

This turned out really cute. My mother in law really liked it. We both agreed it would have to be placed somewhere safe because it’s too thin to be used anywhere with foot traffic. It will need to be brought inside during the winter months. It’s really for looks. I fear it will break easily.

Although this is a really cute item, make sure you use all 21 spaces. They don’t tell you in the description when you order but if you don’t use all 21 spots they will double up on what you already put in previous spots. Now my sons name is on mine twice.

I ordered this for my mother to put in her garden. I was somewhat disappointed as to how thin is was. I am sure it gave the measurements in the description but it didn't register. It was very cute and looked just like it did on the web site.
I plan on attaching it to a larger/square garden stone to give it some durability.
It would be very cute hanging on a wall but it would need some type of hanger added to the back.

I loved this stone when I saw it on the site but didn't realize how light colored the names would be. I wish they'd had been darker. The only darkish ones were the purple and orange.

I purchased this product as a gift for my mother in law. When I received it I was happy with the quality and presentation. However, I noticed there were repeated names on the stone. I was not aware I needed to use all the available name spaces. So random names were chosen to be repeated and used to fill up the stone. That was disappointing and came across as an error or not paying attention to detail. :(

I would give this 5 stars except when i recieved it a name was missing. Since it was mothers day gift i didn't have time to return so inthe grandchild was left out. Thank goodness for sharpie paint pens, we added thr name ourselves. Otherwise this is really nice product.

While the stone is nice looking it is much smaller and thinner than I anticipated

Site should make it clear that the color choices are for the stone and not the lettering! Make sure you choose correctly!

I was a little bummed out when I receive this because I got it for my mother as a Mother's Day gift and this color is nothing like it shows to be in the picture and the stone itself seems to be a little bit thin and lightweight I sure hope it holds up ingood weather

I love the garden stone but I requested 17 names and 4 of the names were repeated which is fine. I’m just thankful none were left out.

The stone is beautiful, but you really need to look closely at the personalization (which I didn't and understand that is 100% my fault). They will repeat names from your list if you do not fill in all 21 of the names and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which names they will repeat. I really like that you can add a lot of names to the stone so it was perfect for my MIL who has 16 grandkids!

My fault for not reading the dimensions of the stone. It was smaller and not as thick as I would have liked for 40.00.
Also, the spacing on David in the photo doesn’t look correct to me.
Great idea though. My mom is 96 in April and this is a great idea for her pond.

I bought this for my mom as a Christmas gift. I wanted her to have a list of all the people who love her the most. It’s really cute. It’s a little smaller than I envisioned but it still is very meaningful.

So my stone arrived with three names duplicated on it! Why would you do that and not let me know? It said up to 21 names. I could have added more names

It’s a nice thought but when taking the heart stone out of the styrofoam it doesn’t look so much as a heart anymore, I was a little disappointed.

Not happy, the engraving is so light you can barely read the names. It doesn’t look like the picture.

Picture of stone is much better than it appears in person. Font used for Names Looks unfinished and doesn’t seem durable for the spring and summer weather.

2 of the names were printed on the item twice.

Make sure you put 21 things or they will duplicate the names. I ordered one for my mom with all 17 grandkids and since it wasn’t 21 they repeated names.

I'm a little disappointed the way the Name #3 "Colin" came out side by side/so close to each other. Did anyone elses turn out this way? This is the first thing i noticed when i opened it.. I looked at all the examples and I do not see the same name so close to one another, not sure why mine turned out this way, its like something was off w/their computer that it happened this way. Why would the same name repeat so close together and not be showing like that in all the examples I've been seeing. Might be sending this one back, stinks cuz I don't have a gift for my mom now if I return:(

The color writing of the names is too light, difficult to read.

I received the wrong item. I emailed yesterday and haven't had a response yet. I really need to have the correct item delivered as soon as possible as it is a Christmas gift.
