CLEVELAND, OH--(Marketwired - October 28, 2016) - With the holiday season upon us, Things Remembered, the nation's largest and most prominent retailer of personalized gifts, recently unveiled its exclusive holiday ornament and snow globe collections, which include unique snow globe designs from Jim Shore Disney Traditions. Designed exclusively for Things Remembered, the Jim Shore Disney Traditions collection of snow globes features an array of beloved characters, from Mickey and Minnie, to Tinker Bell, Winnie the Pooh and Beauty and the Beast. The collection from world-renowned artist, Jim Shore, is hand-painted and can be personalized with a name, special message or favorite character saying.

The company's exclusive 2016 Make-A-Wish® collection is also now available. Things Remembered will donate $2 from the purchase price of every Make-A-Wish collection gift to the children's charity of the same name to help grant wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions. The company has committed to a total guaranteed contribution of $150,000. The customizable gifts are available at all 567 Things Remembered stores, and the Make-A-Wish themed ornaments are genuine, lead-free pewter and made in the U.S.

The Make-A-Wish collection consists of uniquely designed ornaments and snow globes, including a Star, Angel Ornament and Blue Snowflake Snow Globe. Things Remembered has worked with the Foundation since 1997, raising more than $7 million and granting more than 900 wishes. In addition to its annual Make-A-Wish holiday collection, the company has regular fundraising events, features a local wish kid from Ohio in ads each holiday season, and accepts donations through its website year-round.
