I found a nice, fairly inexpensive gift that I thought virtually anyone could send or receive. I thought I'd share it for my readers:

When I saw this, I thought it was a cool idea...build a necklace, bracelet, anklet, or even a key ring that "tells a story". Back when things were really tight, I use to make birthday cards with colored paper and crayons. My wife (then girlfriend) loved it more than a store bought card, since it "came from the heart". This idea is similar to that, in that you can tell the designer your story, and he/she can make polished pieces of metal with those memories stamped into them. It's very personal...and the cool part is that my wife relishes those times when people ask "what do those mean?". It opens up a whole new conversation and gives her a chance to tell her stories about her college soccer number, anniversary, and kids birthdays. The price seems about average for quality necklaces. The one I bought had pieces of brass, sterling silver, and copper. The personal touch is priceless, though, in my opinion.
