I found a neat recording device that can be placed into cards or onto any present, etc...

Here is the link : http://www.scrappydreams.com/catalog/item/1531106/983876.htm

Scrapbook people use them to record specific sounds of babies, messages, etc. and put them in scrapbooks. They can be re-recorded over. Also, if the battery dies, you don't lose the recording! It is length 2 3/8, width 1.5", thick 3/16"

Seems like a great little gadget for making cards for kids, or for making cards for blind children/adults too!
