There are two gift trends that I’m seeing a lot of this holiday season: pearl jewelry and personalized gifts. That’s why I was so excited when I saw that we’ll be carrying a combination of the two!
For under $30, check out the personalized pearl bracelets available below. Personalized gifts seem incredibly “personal” even when you have no clue what to get the gift recipient. And classic pearls will always be in style, so you know that she’ll wear these bracelets for many years.
And if you are one of the lucky few that have already begun your Christmas shopping this year - congrats! There are fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, which means that the stores are going to be extra crowded. As for the rest of us, we’d better get started! Happy shopping!

Rings make the perfect gift for just about everyone, but sometimes I’m just clueless when it comes to the gift recipient’s ring size. Honestly, sometimes I’m fairly clueless about my own ring size, since it changes in winter vs. summer, and I’m never really certain which finger on which I will wear the ring.
The solution: Adjustable rings! Typically you could only find fashion rings in an adjustable size, but since sterling silver is a relatively “soft” metal, designers have realized that creating sterling silver adjustable rings is easy and sure to last longer.
For some of my favorite adjustable rings, just click the pictures below:

Sapphire is the traditional birthstone of September, making it a popular birthday gift this month. Additionally, Sapphire is the gemstone for the 45th anniversary.
You are probably most familiar with blue sapphire, though it is available in variety of colors, including pink and yellow. Sapphire stones are available in virtually every price range. For example, our Sapphire jewelry ranges from around $8 to $200 depending on the size of stone, metal type, etc.
Sapphire stones look stunning set in sterling silver and white gold. A truly timeless stone, sapphire jewelry makes a great gift that she will cherish for years to come.

One of the newest trends I’ve seen in Christian gifts is Bible Scripture bracelets and jewelry. The infinity design allows a longer Bible verse to be imprinted around the bracelet or pendant. By far our best-selling design has been the Lord’s Prayer.
These items make great gifts for any Christian lady. They are also particularly nice when a friend is in need of comforting and healing. It’s a great way to encourage another Christian to stay strong in a difficult time.

The birthstone for August is Peridot, which is actually a variety of the gemstone olivine. While olivine is fairly common, gem quality peridot is more rare.
You’ll recognize peridot by it’s olive green color. Peridot is actually one of the only gemstones that only occurs in one color. The intensity and tint of the green, however, can vary.
Peridot can be found in both Arizona and New Mexico. About 80% to 95% of the world’s production of peridot comes from the San Carlos Reservation in New Mexico. You can read much more about peridot on the USGS website.
Whether shopping for a special birthday gift, or treating yourself to this beautiful gemstone, you’ll love these genuine sterling silver peridot jewelry items:

August 3rd is National Friendship Day, which is celebrated on the first Sunday of August each year in the United States. What a great time to show a friend how much she means to you!
Friendship Day was originally declared a holiday in honor of friends by Congress in 1935. Many countries around the world have now joined the celebration.
We celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, so why not Friendship Day? Friends are there for us during the good times and the bad, so let a special friend know how much you appreciate her. You could send her a quick email, meet her for lunch, or treat her to a small gift. Just letting her know that you are thinking of her is the important part.

If you are struggling to think of a Father’s Day gift this year, consider getting Dad something unique: a personalized gift. Whether it’s a photo, a monogram, or an engraved message, a little personalization can make a memorable gift.
Snapfish has a great selection of photo gifts for Dads. My favorite is the photo apron (shown below), which would be perfect for grilling and holidays.
Another favorite of mine is engraved cuff links, like these photo locket engraved cuff links (shown below). Not only can you personalize these cuff links with Dad’s initials, but you can add two small photos to the inside.
Make your gift personal this Father’s Day with a gift that Dad will cherish forever.
