  1. What a lovely product! I can't wait to hide this heart for my husband! The heart arrived quickly and beautifully packaged. I'm sure that it will bring years of joy to our family. Thank you for the great communication and customer service. I will definitely recommend Hide A Heart to others!

  2. What a pleasure it was to receive that precious little heart. I have experienced the joy of giving one, and now I have received one. It really was special. It got me thinking (DANGER!) how much I admire your business. It would be great fun to help you celebrate when you have sold ????. I don't know 10,000, 50,000 or even 100,000 hearts.

  3. We've been using it all the time and every time I find it I get a big smile on my face. It helps to keep the little things alive and well. :)

  4. 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.

  5. OMG I got one recently and it's so cool! I put in my wife's purse... but that thing is such a graveyard that I'll be surprised if she finds it! I may have to re-hide it! Awesome stuff!

  6. My DH & I have been hiding the heart all over for each other. We take turns hiding it for the other to find. I must admit, though it is cheesy, I have sometimes found myself feeling sad because I will think he hasn't hid it or forgot too then when I am randomly in the middle of one of my errands or daily routine I will find it & it will make me feel loved & happy.

  7. I gave a Hide a Heart to one of my best friends for Christmas, "hidden" in the mail. She loves it. I'm not sure where it is now...maybe hiding for her husband? She was very touched by the message, and how beautiful it is. I look forward to hearing about it's journey!

  8. i had occasion in 2010 to give out a half dozen beautiful Hide-A-Hearts to family and friends who were facing huge health issues or otherwise tough times and needed some encouragement. Every single person was just blown away with the simple beauty of both the product and the emotions it evoked. I got a lot of undeserved kudos for my wonderful idea – so I did the right thing and told them all how Hide-A-Heart came about, and that I was only lucky enough to have known about it at their time of need. I intend to purchase more, to have on hand when I learn of someone who needs this “hug.” They are reasonably priced, very appropriate, and convey warmth and love to the recipient.

  9. I recently won a HAH via the blog Adventures in Abbyland. I absolutely LOVE it! At first my husband was a bit skeptical. He thought I was kind of crazy because I was so excited over this little glass heart, but then I started hiding it for him...and he started hiding it back for me. Now, it is something really fun ...that we do. Currently it is sitting under the cap of his shaving cream in the bathroom so that tomorrow when he shaves in the morning, he will have a nice surprise!

  10. I have given 2 different types of Hide a Heart to my family members and friends. Everyone has been so enthusiastic about receiving them. My sister carries her purple Hide a Heart in her purse and touches it when she needs to feel close to her husband. Thanks, MCatherine for developing such a lovely product.

  14. At the time of my friend's accident, I was searching HERE and noticed the heart being a part of their available gifts for patients.

    Knowing the courage it takes to get thru paralysis ( have another friend who is a quad), I knew it was the perfect gift for hope & strength. When I found out the name of the hospital my friend was in, I went on-line in search of the healing heart and your business came up.

    Thank you for the additional card and ribbon - it was truly lovely. I received it today and have sent it on its way to the new owner. I know she will feel great strength from the thoughts and prayers that are represented by the heart. Sincerely, Bean

  18. I bought thepurple hide a heart for my best friend when her son died tragically and she really appreciated it,the purple heart to me is for the injury she recieved but the firmness of the love still there. And I bought the regular one for my husband for valentines because he is so hard to get anything for and he likes small keepsake things like that, it is perfect and I had planned to buy that one all year! I will definitely buy again from this company when i need to pass on more hearts!

  19. I received my purple Hide A Heart, and just wanted to say that it is beyond beautiful, beyond meaningful as a gift! Your packaging is so pretty, including the rose you made out of ribbon, the story card is wonderful, the heart itself is so heavy and pretty (not a flimsy piece of glass people!), and the wording in gold is excellently done. Thank you so much! :)

  21. Thank you so much for the quick service and obvious care you take to make each heart selected so beautifully wrapped. Once again your little 'hearts' have proven to be my way to express what words cannot.

  22. Some time ago Barbara hid this in my briefcase. When I found it. I took a picture and emailed it to her. Now wording no title just the picture. Another too find a heart this time a virtual heart. Thought you might enjoy the story. Side bar, whenever I find or hide the heart I think of you and all the lovely memories and friendship. So it is sort of like the old Wrigley gm advertisement, double the fun! I think of Barbara my life's love and of you a lifetime friend. Rod

  23. Dear MCatherine
    Thank you for the wonderful purple heart. Although I tend to shed a few tears when I hold it, I think this is probably quite therapeutic. Being in the UK makes mom's passing seem unreal to me.
    Thank you for thinking of me.
    Yours sincerely
    Mary Lynn
