Precious Moments 40th Anniversary and Review

Disclosure: I received a Precious Moments figurine to facilitate this post. The opinions are my own.

I’m sure you all know of the brand Precious Moments.  They are famous for their iconic figurines and collectibles, and this year the brand celebrates its 40 year anniversary!  Check out the infographic below for more infomation on this anniversary.

When I was growing up I had a few Precious Moments figurines, and I remember being in awe of a friend’s Christmas tree that was completely decorated in Precious Moments ornaments!  Today I still have a couple of Precious Moments figurines, and my mom collects the figurines for her niece, so I’m always interested to see all the new figurines in store.

What I love about the brand, other than the cute figurines themselves, is that there seems to be a figurine for everyone!  Whether your child enjoys art, dancing, or sports, you can find a Precious Moments figurine for them, and it’s also easy to find a nice figurine for any occasion, milestone, or holiday.

Last year I was received the most special gift ever, my sweet baby boy!  Here’s a picture of the two of at Mother’s Day!

 

I have always been a very emotional and sentimental person, so I love keepsakes and momentos.  When I found out I was pregnant I immediately bought a pregnancy journal, baby book, and baby box for all memories and keepsakes.  And after Thaxton was born, I was given so many keepsakes in honor of his birth from baby’s first Christmas ornaments to mom jewelry.

I was very excited when I had the chance to pick out a Precious Moments figurine, and I knew immediately that I would choose a mom themed figurine.  Here’s the one I chose:

This figurine is called “Love Ties Us Together.”  As you can see, it features a mother kneeling down to tie her son’s shoelace.  I love everything about this figurine from the plain, everyday clothes the figures are wearing, to the actual string that makes up the laces, and, of course, the loving eyes of the mother and child as they look upon one another.

I also love the simplicity and broader meaning of the subject matter.  The figurine is a snapshot of a parent tying her son’s shoe.  It is a very mundane event that happens every day;  in fact, it is one of many seemingly mundane tasks and moments that parents go through every day, but these simple tasks all add up to so much more!  And I love how they’ve used this very simple act, this moment, to symbolize the love and the bond between a mom and her child.
