Customized Gifts

I would like to be believe that I am a pretty good gift giver.  I normally try to think about what a person really wants, rather than what they need or what is practical.  That is what gifts are all about, right? If you needed it, you would obviously get it for yourself.  For Christmas though, I find it extremely difficult to be unique and thoughtful since what you gift will be one of many the person will likely receive.  When I need to be more creative, I turn to personalization. If simply engraving a name or adding a few heart-touching lines can make an ordinary present special, it is definitely worth it. It is all about adding your unique sentiments into the gift.

I was recently introduced to Origami Owl and immediately started making a list of the specials gals in my life that would love the brand!  Origami Owl makes custom jewelry with unique charms in necklaces, bracelets, watches, rings and other accessories.  Basically each piece of jewelry can be designed with crystals, letters and other novelty charms in a locket style setting.  You can tell your story with these living lockets, and make it as minimal (with just a birthstone) or ornate (with multiple charms signifying ALL your favorite vacation spots) as you like.  The beauty is in the customization!

I picked up a couple things for myself and fun gifts for friends.  I chose a Silver bar necklace and included two letters “J”s for John and Jax, a heart and as many Swarovski crystals I could fit in.  I actually have been meaning to pick up a necklace with their initials so this was absolutely perfect!

I also picked up one of the newest addition to the locket collection, the Stick It Twist Living Locket™.   This Locket is designed to stick to all your favorite belongings such as a cell phone, laptop, journal, or whatever you want!  I am obsessed!  I filled my locket with my initials, and of course, crystals!  A girl can’t have too many crystals in her locket, am I right?  I currently have it on my phone, but thinking I want to put it on my computer instead.  It just adds a little something sparkly, and I love catching a glimpse of it throughout the day.

I knew this Stick It Twist Locket was the perfect gift idea as well.  I got a few more of these lockets all customized with initials of the receiver.  I know they are going to love it!  I appreciate that while these gifts are similar overall, each one is very unique and customized with intent and lots of love!
