Lisa White ISSA & AFPA CPT
Gifts for grandmothers or someone you view as a grandmother are meant to be special. Some gifts are overly generic while others are not quite right but what if your grandmother is sentimental? There are specialty gifts available so check out these items your grandma can hand down as heirloom gifts.

Charm Jewelry

Charm jewelry carries a sentimental meaning. Each charm can conjure a specific memory which is special to the owner. You can place long charms or pendants on bracelets and necklaces. Pandora charms and slides are a few examples created for bracelets. Charm jewelry is available in long, flat, round, square, hanging pieces and etc. Hand picked charms create a unique bracelet for your grandmother. Purchase multiple charms at one time or single charms for special occasions such as birthdays and holidays. Choose plain or adorned charms that suit your grandmother's personality best.

Mother's Rings

A mother's ring incorporates the gemstone of each child's birth onto a mount. The styles and designs will differ because of the necessary stones to represent each child or grandchild. The colors will also vary since birthstones are the primary stones used to create the design. For instance, stones such as pink zircon, blue zircon and emerald green stones signify October, December and May births. If there are several different birth months you can use a single stone to represent all or purchase individual stones for each.

Enhanced Photos

With advanced technology discolored or torn photos are capable of being fixed. Is there a photo your grandmother becomes misty eyed over? If so, have the photo's color enhanced and place it in a new frame. You can have a silhouette created with several generations including you, your parent and grandmother, also. If you choose not to do a silhouette have a special photo from your grandmother's photo album enhanced.

Bronzed memorabilia

Specialty trophy stores offer memorabilia bronzing services.There is a multitude of baby memorabilia that incorporates shoes and picture frames. Foot print and hand impressions are bronzed, as well as, pacifiers, brushes and combs. The bronzed item is also mounted on a solid base and can have a subscription on it.
Baby memorabilia is popular but animal paw impressions and collars are available for pet loving grandma's as well.
