2009 Product News
- Hallmark Gold Crown® stores are grooving to the sounds of Motown in celebration of the 50th anniversary of this classic music brand. Photo frames, sound and light buttons, coffee mugs, commuter mugs, and gift bags and accessories are sporting funky designs, the lyrics – and in many cases the actual music – of Motown greats such as The Supremes, The Jackson 5 and The Temptations.
- Press the foot on the dancing Love Machine techno plush character to see him show off his dance moves to the tune of “Love Machine” by The Miracles. It is available for a special price with the purchase of three Hallmark cards. Press the button on three travel mugs to hear songs such as “Stop in the Name of Love,” by The Supremes, or press the button on the sound and light buttons to hear favorites such as “Do you Love Me?” by The Contours.
- An exclusive CD called Heart & Soul – Celebrating 50 Years of Motown features a collection of 10 of Motown’s greatest hits with a love theme appropriate for Valentine’s Day. Songs include “Stop! In the Name of Love” by The Supremes, “(Love Is Like a) Heat Wave” by Martha & The Vandellas, and “Love Machine” by The Miracles. The CD is available for a special price with the purchase of three Hallmark cards.
- Hallmark Gold Crown stores also offer a variety of other stuffed animals for Valentine’s Day – including licensed designs featuring Pepé Le Pew, Tweety Bird, Snoopy and hoops&yoyo – as well as a menagerie of cuddly bears, lions, frogs, dinosaurs, bugs and birds. Many of the animals feature sounds, music, movement, or a combination of technologies. Percy the Huggable Lion, for example, purrs, giggles and shakes when he’s hugged, but if you pull his tail, he’ll yowl.
- Gillham & Grand™ premium chocolates come in a variety of heart-shaped boxed assortments, as well as cinnamon hot chocolate mix, individual candy bars with wrappers that say “I love you” or “Happy Valentine’s Day,” and individual chocolate hearts with flavored centers. A white stuffed bear comes with a 5-ounce box of assorted truffles. Caramels, chocolate-covered cookies and pecan caramel clusters are new additions to the traditional assorted chocolate and truffles this candy season.
- Valentine-themed gifts such as photo frames, books, pillow cases, measuring spoons, and bottle openers also are available at Hallmark Gold Crown stores.
