Dear “New Product” Executive,
As of May 30th 2006, I have been granted U.S. Patent No.: 7,051,559
A cherished gift that will hold a memorable message inside, for years into the future.
A stuffed animal ( or any gift form such as sculpture, etc. ) that would hold a written or typed personal scrolled message or letter inside ( wholly contained ), with the entrance point being at the base or bottom. A custom designed and programmed web site would enable the sender ( mail ) of the gift to type a personal message or choose a message from a collection of messages that would suit the occasion or reason. Or, if purchased from a store shelf or catalog, the message could simply be “ hand written ” onto the scroll ( paper ) supplied within the stuffed animal, etc. ( *note - this product idea can also be implemented into other unique gift product forms, materials, characters, and ideas… such as sculpture, in various materials such as resin, crystal, pewter, ceramic, and could also be used as a confidential mailing container… mailing system with lock and key, sent as a gift or used as an invitation and / or promotional device ).
The stuffed animal ( or other gift form ) would have a locking mechanism at the base or bottom, and the scrolled message could only be removed with a key. The key would be the royalty type… fancy, gold, old-fashioned skeleton key ( 2 inches ) preferably. There would be a magnetic fastening device to hold the key ( when not in use ) onto the stuffed animal's chest, or paw, etc.
I believe that this is an ideal gift product because it could be sold via mail order, catalog, internet web site or store shelf. It could even be sold by florists !!! It can hold a unique personal message or letter by the sender ( mail ) or giver ( in person ), for any occasion… New Baby, Birthday, Christmas, Valentine's Day, etc. It could also be utilized as an invitation and / or promotional product. If purchased from a store shelf or catalog, to be given as a gift to another individual, the giver ( in person ) would have the option of enclosing a gift certificate, cash, check, savings bond, lottery tickets, entertainment tickets, cigar ( such as for a new baby ), etc.
Another idea I believe would be unique is… the skeleton key could be mailed first ( via 1st class mail ) with a small note, such as… " You are soon to receive a special message from a special person… You will need this key to unlock and retrieve your personal secret message. Please keep this key in a safe place." The stuffed animal could then be sent ( via 3rd class mail ) to be received a day or two later. The recipient of the gift could then unlock and retrieve the scrolled personal message or letter contained within the stuffed animal.
A unique gift that contains a preserved secret message or letter, on a hidden scroll !!! I believe… that if this gift idea is manufactured correctly, and with quality in mind… it will be a success !!! I believe that it has the " Element of Surprise " which is a very important factor for any gift product. For example… " Christmas " has the “ Element of Surprise ” and that's one reason why both children and adults alike, treasure the holiday. I also believe the reason that " Cracker Jacks " has always been the most known and remembered caramel corn on the market, is because… it has the “ Element of Surprise ” !!! Children just can’t wait to find out what kind of prize is inside !!!
I truly believe in the GiftedMessenger.com gift / promotional product idea. I don't believe it will be a " fad " type of product. I believe that it will be a treasured gift to give… or to receive, for years to come !!!
Please help me to offer this unique idea to the gift seeking public.
Sincerely, [email protected]

Success Criteria and Ideas:
Manufactured correctly and with quality in mind.
Diversity of characters, materials and forms.
Custom designed and programmed web site that would enable the sender to choose a message, poem, or words to famous songs, by code number. Each occasion, such as "New Baby" would have a list of greetings, poems, words of famous songs, etc. that could be chosen by code number or... the individual could simply type their own personal letter.
Most products in the market today only allow for a short message. GiftedMessenger.com would allow an individual to actually type ( or hand write, if given in person ) a personal letter that could only be read by the intended recipient ( key holder ).
Royalty type Skeleton key... gold and very fancy ( Victorian ).
*note - combination locks also allowed by Patent.
Skeleton Key mailed before the gift, with a small note that states… “You will soon be receiving a special message from a special person. Please keep this key in a safe place. You will need it to unlock your secret message ( or letter ).”
Unique mailing system that provides privacy and security, without the need to obtain a signature.
Would offer a “ Get your mail noticed ” affect when used as a mailing device for marketing and advertising purposes... as it would “ stand out ” among the usual paper envelopes.
Can securely deliver such items as... cash, gift certificates, entertainment tickets, lottery tickets, notifications, invitations, advertisements, promotional items, announcements, cigars ( new baby ), etc.
Corporations could utilize the product and business idea for promotional purposes, advertising, marketing, and also as a unique invitational device.
Excellent Franchise Possibility - This product / business idea would also make an excellent Franchise Opportunity. There are many people today that are seriously seeking a business opportunity or franchise that can be operated from their home office. There are very few legitimate business opportunities or franchises that can be operated from a home-based office.
GiftedMessenger.com could be created into an ideal “ Home-Based Franchise. ”
Great “ Television ” or “ Home Shopping Product ” !!!
Problem this idea/invention addresses:
It enables a person to send a gift with a private ( locked ) personal message inside, from the comfort of their home or office. The person that receives the gift will always have the preserved ( locked ) message inside the gift.
Also enables the sender of the gift to create a sense of mystery and anticipation for the person receiving the gift... as they will at first only have a key in hand, and must patiently wait for the gift to arrive. Only then can they unlock the secret message wholly contained... and locked inside the gift.
