Hide A Heart Review & Giveaway

· 124 Comments

Hide A Heart button


Being a military family means being apart more often than together. It also means not getting to spend holidays and special occasions together. When hubby was deployed I sent him a care package every week filled with cards and letters and lots of goodies. Still, I often wished for a way to really let him know I was thinking of him, to really tell him I loved him even when I couldn’t tell him myself. This was especially important to me as I prepared his care package to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. I had an anniversary card and pictures but that special something seemed to be missing. I never did find what I was looking for and I’m now blessed to have my husband at home but when I came across an Etsy shop the other night all of my military friends came to mind.

Hide A Heart is such a unique, special, fun way to tell someone you love them. Hide A Heart is a small, American made ruby glass heart that is imprinted with special messages. Anything from Love You and XOXO to express your love for someone to Forgive for those looking for a meaningful way to express forgiveness. There are even special purple Hide A Hearts imprinted with the Pink Breast Cancer Ribbon as well as a purple Hope & Healing Heart. Here’s a little more detailed information about Hide A Heart

Hide A Heart brings back the chance to express
so much in such a small, simple gesture.
I had the delight in reviewing the Love You heart!

Hubby and I have had so much fun hiding the heart for each other. It has been a difficult time around here lately and while I won’t go into details, hubby and I have been in the need of a little love lately. Between work and sleepless nights because our little sweet pea won’t sleep, we often forget that its the little things like a simple “I love you” that count the most. Sure, a dozen roses are considered the ultimate romantic gesture but when money is tight why waste it on something that will die within a few days. This little heart has helped express what we sometimes can’t find a special way to show. I’ve had so much fun hiding the heart in hubby’s pocket so he finds it during a hard day at work and in return he leaves it for me at in my work drawers so I find it while searching for all my long lost pens that seem to walk away lol. Just seeing the heart laying there, waiting on me to find it brings a smile to my face and I know that hubby was thinking about me.

Hide A Heart is perfect for anyone, busy families that often don’t have alot of time together, college students just falling in love, military couples that are miles apart. And Hide A Heart doesn’t just have to be for couples. Its perfect for children, elderly members of the family (especially those that might live alone…imagine the love they would feel finding this special heart once a family visit is over and everyone has gone home), the possibilities are endless.

While speaking with the owner of Hide A Heart, I mentioned how perfect these are for military couples and families. Hide A Heart would be the perfect way to show those we love how much we are thinking of them while they are away at training or deployed. Imagine your loved one at war and their joy of opening a care package and finding this small heart waiting for them. The owner then shared with me that she sent 5 Hearts to soldiers in military hospitals for Christmas so the soldiers and their loved ones could enjoy sending the heart back and forth between each other. Hide A Heart might be small but the owners have the biggest heart ever! I do want to share they owners story with you real quick, this is taken from their Etsy profile:


Launched in Oregon in 2009 the Hide A Heart® single focus is of creating a means to fill the world with positive communication.

In 1995 I developed head/neck cancer after which my professional singing career was cut short and for quite some time I struggled to find a ‘spirit-driven’ purpose.

One day when I was feeling blue my husband asked, “What about that heart game we’ve been playing for decades?” “What would we call it?” I asked. He said, “Hide A Heart.”

And so, what began as a simple, sweet and fun romantic game to keep a love note in circulation by hiding a little glass heart for each other, Hide A Heart® has become a way to inspire expression through a story of warmth, hope and healing. With it’s creation and nurturing, Hide A Heart is helping me reinvent myself and has returned to me the gift of ‘spirit-driven passion’.

It is with great affection that I offer Hide A Heart as an adorable, nostalgic and sustainable way for you to keep a love note in circulation too.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I can’t think of a better way to say “I Love You” thank with a Hide A Heart! And they even have a wonderful Valentine’s Special that features your choice of Love You or XOXO Heart personalized with your Valentine’s name on the side plus Xocai Healthy Chocolate Nuggets.

Hide A Heart has brought so much joy and love to my family and I now have the delight in sharing it with you! The owner’s of Hide A Heart have generously offered one of my readers the chance to win a heart of their own to share with loved ones.

Winner will have their choice between

  13. What a wonderful thing to keep something special in your marriage. Thanks for sharing Robyn. I could really use one of these. I think my favorite is the “Forgive” simply because we need that a lot here.
