Gift Ideas for Grandma (vol. 2)

So Mother’s Day is right around the corner and I am getting more and more requests for great gift ideas for Grandma! I recently posted “Gift Ideas for Grandma, volume 1.” So here is volume 2!

For the Grandma who is very stylish but with a funky flair to her style, I would suggest our hand stamped Thai Circles of Affection. These charms are handmade in Thailand out of fine silver (99.9% silver) and have a heavy weight to them. They look great with one or two charms or 7-8 bundled together. They are a little shiny but with a handmade look, which give them a trendy but funky flair.

If Grandma prefers daintier jewelry and loves bracelets, our Inspiration Cuff would be a stylish and unique choice. These cuffs are found throughout the internet, but I haven’t found anyone else who will actually stamp what you want onto the cuff! We will do just that — anything from a favorite saying you and Grandma might have together, to the names of all her grand kids. We can add tiny little symbols to this bracelet as well, to make it even more personal.

Our Sterling Circles Charm Bracelet is another great piece of bragging jewelry – Grandma (or mom!) can wear it simply w/one name charm and a simple birthstone, or with many charms and stones as her family grows.

If she likes unique jewelry, our Etched Moon Circle of Love Necklace would be a great choice. This charm has a raised moon in the center of the charm, with “I love you to the moon and back” stamped around the edge of the charm. You can add her grand kid’s names to the back of this charm, too!

Another unique option that is really sweet, dainty and pretty is our Open Heart Necklace, and you can add birthstones to the center of the necklace. This is one of our most popular h and stamped necklaces for Grandma!

Lastly, our simple Birthstone Necklace with Grandma disc – such a pretty way to brag about her brood and her status of Grandma!

Pewter – a great option for hand stamped jewelry

Pewter is a cool metal. It’s durable, pretty and easy to work with. It looks really pretty when hand stamped, too, as the rich silver color of the metal mixes so nicely with the blackened letters or symbols. We’ve recently been creating items made with pewter and plan to add a few of these to our site. On top of how great it looks and how easy it is to work with, it’s also less expensive than other metals like sterling silver or fine silver.

Pewter has been used for centuries for jewelry and other decorative items. In the last few years, as the price of silver skyrocketed, the popularity of pewter surged as a more affordable alternative to silver for jewelry. Modern pewter is, of course, lead-free and sustainable.

Pewter is a white, lustrous alloy, with a look similar to silver, and it’s easy to work with. We look forward to offering some of these pieces to our Heart On Your Wrist customers!

If you have any ideas of mommy jewelry or inspirational necklaces you’d like to see in pewter, please let us know.

Gift Ideas for Grandma (vol. 1)

We often get the question, “What is a good gift idea for a Grandma?” There are so many options to choose from that it is nice to have a little help sometimes.

I usually ask first how many grandchildren Grandma has. If there is just one grandchild but there may be more coming, it is nice to choose something that can be added to later.

Our Gold Discs with Birthstones offer just that, and the rich color of the gold against the birthstones makes this necklace look very classy. This same necklace comes in sterling silver too.

If she prefers silver and likes hearts, another fun option is our Heart Name Necklace. This is one of our classics and has been very popular around Mother’s Day. The fun thing about this necklace is that the center heart can say anything too: Grammy’s nickname or “Proud Grandma” or anything you or your child think up.

One of our most popular Grandma gifts right now is our new Custom Gold Handwriting Heart. Your child can write a heartwarming note to Grandma, and we will transform it into a gold or silver charm that she can wear and cherish forever.

If Grandma is a little playful and likes to wear fun jewelry, our Etched Grandma Forever Love Necklace is perfect for her. This necklace has a unique design and cute saying on the front, and you can add her grandchildren’s names to the back of this charm.

Hand Stamped Inspiration Bracelet — Featuring the grandkids names, my mom in law wears this one daily

If more little grandchildren are not in the plan, a very sweet option for her would be our Inspiration Bracelet. This has been one of our most popular gifts for Grandmas over the last eight years. You can personalize this any way you’d like — with names, dates, nicknames, meaningful words, and symbols. We can also stamp the inside of this bracelet to make this a truly personal gift.

You can get creative with all these necklaces by personalizing the back of them as well. We’ve done anything from birth dates to inside jokes on the backs of our charms.

These are just a few of my favorites. As I mentioned above, there are so many options to choose from, that I will be doing a “Gift Ideas for Grandma” (vol. 2) so stay tuned!
