I’m a sap. I get overly emotional about silly little things like macaroni necklaces. I made one for my mom in grade school and my son made a version for me a couple of years ago. He also made me a potholder with his handprint on it for Mother’s Day and it’s tucked away in a box for safe keeping. Gifts that come from the hands and heart are worth more to me than the the rarest of gems, but wearing fruit loops around your neck isn’t really practical every day.
I love the jewelry from Dogeared. It’s all handmade in California and each piece is designed in the spirit of love, kindness and consciousness. There are many collections available that range from gifts for moms, grads, brides, best friends and sisters. They also have a ‘Create Your Own’ collection. The jewelry has been featured in many magazines, including the latest Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. You can see them on actors on TV shows and movies. Oprah and Ellen have featured them on their shows as well.
I picked some of my favorite necklaces to show you, but it wasn’t easy. There are so many cute ones to choose from! They also have earrings, bracelets and other gift ideas.
If you are looking for a special gift for someone in your life, you should check these out. I’m currently looking for a reason why I need to buy myself a gift because the Virgo necklace is calling my name. Which one is your favorite?
