This product combines technology with sentimentality! A VoiceQuilt is a personalized holiday gift that allows you to record messages for someone special. You can keep these recorded messages in a keepsake box forever. Whether it's for a parent, spouse, sibling, your child, grandparent or a friend - the VoiceQuilt is one of the most unique and endearing gifts you can give this holiday season.

Messages, memories or tributes can be captured for a lifetime with a quick phone call that records that message and then stores the file in a display case of your choice forever. The best part is that more than one person can leave a message. The VoiceQuilt can store up to 35 recorded messages to be played at anytime and anywhere.
