Christmas Gift Ideas: Travel Charms to Announce A Trip

You could slip a pair of tickets into a stocking, wrap them up in a giant box, or tuck them in a card but there are so many more exciting ways to announce a trip to a loved one for friends. For the holidays though, give tickets in a fun way. You can use travel charms to make the gift more exciting and the payoff much more immediate.

Big trips are planned months in advance, so this exciting trip you’ve created may be as far off as months or even a year. While the lucky recipient is waiting for her big trip, give her a charm as well so she has something to hold onto!

If you’re taking a road trip, then you don’t have tickets at all to include. Instead, pick out the states you’ll be passing through to design a road map to your trip bracelet! The bracelet will be a great reminder of the trip both before and after!

How can you give the charm?

• Attach the travel charm to a card, tied up with a string around the tickets.
• Find her charm bracelet and add the charm. Then, wrap it so she can discover the next big trip she’ll be taking!

There’s so many ways to make a Christmas travel gift even more special! The extra mile in presentation will go far this holiday!

More than Charms

Gold or Silver, charms hold the energy of their owners.  They hold the memories of time spent with loved ones, a hobby enjoyed.  They keep the the reminder of the loving hands of daily embrace close to the surface.  Charms have been used for birth announcements, reminders that each day is a gift and even as protectors against evil.  They are our legacy, charm bracelets have been passed down from generation to generation for centuries…Thinking that a charm is just a charm?  Think again — the charm you add to your wife’s bracelet will capture the memory of that trip you took together, the grandchildren you share, the big fish you caught last summer and even an anniversary spent together.  Charms have a special way of reminding us of special moments spent with those we love, long after they are gone.

The 12 Days of Christmas

I know some may say its too early to be singing Christmas Carols, but one of my favorites has to be The 12 days of Christmas.  Each day in this famous Christmas carol represents something from the Bible. Its so easy with the hustle and bustle of the holiday season its so easy to forget the reason we celebrate Christmas each year is actually celebrating the birth of Christ, not Santa and the reindeer and all the presents under the tree.  This is a great Christmas carol with lots of meaning with each verse, and to celebrate this season, we invite you to grab a cup of tea, enjoy our favorite carol and the meaning behind it with the jingle of our 12 Days of Christmas Charm bracelet! True Love refers to God, Turtle Doves refers to the New & Old Testaments, French Hens refers to Faith, Hope & Charity, Calling Birds refers to the Four Gospels, Golden Rings refers to the first Five books of the New Testament, Geese-a-laying refers to the six days of creation, Swans-a-swimming refers to the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the seven sacraments, Maids-a-milking refers to the eight beatitudes, ladies dancing refers to the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit, Lords-a-leaping refers to the ten commandments, Pipers Piping refers to the eleven faithful apostles, and drummers drumming refers to the twelve points of doctrine in the apostle’s creed.

Ghosts, Witches, Pumpkins – they are all charming…

Halloween is one the few holidays that we never outgrow.  You probably remember when you were a young child, you would decide what you “want to be”.  Your parents would either take you costume shopping, or if you were like me, you had one of those insanely creative mothers who always made our costumes and they were the best in the neighborhood.  We never had store bought costumes.  She would always ask us months ahead of time what we wanted to be, (there were three of us she made costumes for each year) and then she got busy creating a masterpiece only outdone from year to year. Then one day when you became “too old” to dress up and go trick or treating, you would get stuck at home handing out candy to all the lucky kiddos in the neighborhood.  Now as an adult, many still get to “dress up” because its the one day of year, that you can be whatever you want to be. Its the one day where there are no boundaries – if you can dream it – you can become it – if for only one day.  Were you one of those kids who wanted to be the neighborhood ghost or the evil witch or did you dress up as a pumpkin?  Did your trick or treat bag weigh you down by the end of the night? In celebration of this spooktacular holiday we have charms for all the ghosts, witches and even a trick or treat bag to bring back all those fond memories of halloween days gone by.  Decorate your halloween charm bracelet with all your childhood memories.

Mother’s Day Gifts – May 11th

Anything that involves 14k gold and diamonds qualifies to be listed in the category of “Perfect Gifts for Moms”. New mom gifts are especially important if they are from the baby’s dad. There’s something about dads showing up with a classy looking gift that makes mom feel a little better after the eighteen hours of hard labor that was necessary to bring his sweet baby boy or girl into the world. 14K Gold Birthstone Baby Shoe Charms make great Mother’s Day Gifts!

If ladies don’t have a charm bracelet already, once they become moms they will want one for sure! I have seen so many new moms comparing their beautiful bracelets and the gold charms. Each of the precious keepsakes were added at important milestones of their children’s lives. Moms love engravable gold charms that are set with birthstones for each of their babies. The smooth disks are perfect places to engrave their baby’s name and date of birth. These are evenly spaced along the links of the charm bracelet along with gold baby booties and other tiny gold charms.
