Hallmark 'Twilight' and 'New Moon' product information
One of our friends emailed Hallmark, requesting information on their 'Twilight Saga' line of products. This is the response from Hallmark:
Thank you for contacting Hallmark.
Hallmark "Twilight" greeting cards began arriving in stores in August, 2009 and new ones will continue arriving through early fall. Many include sound from the movie soundtrack or attachments such as bookmarks and stickers.
"New Moon," the second movie in the "Twilight" series, will arrive in theatres this November. Cards based on that movie will be available this fall and in early 2010. Some "New Moon"-based cards will include sound or fold-out posters.
E-cards based on "Twilight" are also now available.
Sending situations currently include love birthday and anyone birthday. Halloween and Valentine's Day cards are also planned.
"Twilight" and "New Moon" party products will be available in stores later this fall and will include a lenticular cup (lenticular gives the impression of a moving scene when tipped from side to side), button favors and a large sticker. A mobile greeting will be available at Halloween, and Keepsake Ornaments of Edward and Bella, the main characters in the series, will be available in 2010.
In addition to "Twilight" and "New Moon," Hallmark also has licensing rights to the movies based on the last two books in the series "Eclipse" and "Breaking Dawn."
The products will be available in Hallmark Gold Crown, mass-channel and party specialty stores.

About: I was skeptical at first about the series. All my friends were reading it in 9th grade and I just wasn't into it. I had been burned pretty bad by a relationship and I just wasn't believing the whole 'love story' thing. Then, on one fateful night, I was at a book sale and was desperately seeking a new read. Twilight seemed to be glowing on the shelf and I was drawn to buy it. I didn't know why, like I said, I didn't want to even think about love. I went home and cracked open the fresh book. I instantly related to Bella. Her feelings became my feelings. Her curiosity became my curiosity. I carried the book around with me everywhere I went. I found myself even slowing down in reading it because I didn't want it to end. I closed the back cover and took a deep breath, then I realized something. I had learned to believe in love again. A simple book and taught me to believe in what I thought just couldn't exist. I also learned that every girl deserves their very own Edward Cullen. No one should settle for just some guy. He needs to be your guy. Your dream guy. Well, let's say I am not a skeptic anymore. As a freshman in college, I find myself having a lot of free time to re-read the books... again. I have my own 59 song playlist for all the books on my i-Tunes and I love that it brings me back to the moments in the books. I have met so many people just by saying that I am a "Twilighter". It amazing how passionate you can become about a novel. I am so happy I bought Twilight on a whim. It has transformed my life and taught me so much about myself. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my Twilight story.

About: Recently, my youngest aunt died unexpectedly in her sleep.I was left in the most depressed mood that I've ever experienced. I felt like something inside my heart had fallen out, was missing, and would never come back. It was a physical condition that literally made me uncomfortable. I thought of New Moon, and how Bella feels throughout that book. She is always holding herself together with her crossed arms. I realized that this was the closest description to what I was feeling. My chest hurt, like it was falling apart inside. Then I thought of how Bella turns into a zombie for several months and decided that I didn't want to be like that. I didn't want to lose myself in grief, and I know my aunt wouldn't have wanted me to do that either. I know that this case is different, in that I will never get that piece of my heart back for good, but I don't want to be like Zombie Bella. I want to be strong, like Bella becomes after her loss. I will never forget how Twilight helped me straighten my thoughts and fix myself in the worst times of my life. It takes an amazing book to do something like that. And an amazing writer to portray such a real and painful emotion so realistically. From all of the ways that Twilight has changed my life, this is definitely the biggest. It helpled to support me when I thought nothing could, and gave me hope when everything in my world was bleak.
