Retro Custom Viewfinder - Perfect for Mother's Day Review + Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
If you've picked up an original View-Master in the last few decades, chances are the images were shot by one man. Rich Dubnow (aka the Most Experienced 3D Photographer in the World) was lead photographer at View-Master for twenty years producing work for creative visionaries like Jim Henson and Steven Spielberg.
In 1997, Rich founded Image3D in the picturesque Pacific Northwest. Since then, they have grown from a kitchen table operation to a state-of-the-art facility producing custom-made 3D experiences for everyone from blushing brides to corporate titans.
I was thrilled for the opportunity to review one like I had when I was a kid! I really liked them then and I still like them now!

I decided to make this one special for my oldest son who lives far, far, far away from me. He and his Grandparents were very close. When they passed away a bit of him broke and I don't thinks its repaired yet. So I thought this might make him a little more cheerful when thinking about them.






The ordering process was easy. The hard part was picking out 7 pictures from the thousands of pictures I have. After I whittled them down I uploaded them to the computer and onto the site. Then it was a click and drag process. I was able to design the label on the reel too. I personalized it for my son.








They ship orders within 5 days, not including the day you order. They even have corporate gifts available as well!
Each set contains: one reel, one viewer and one white handout box.
Reels: 7 of your photos with 3D captions & customized center of reel.
Viewer: View-Master style in your choice of Red, Black, Blue or White.
Box: A handsome glossy white box
