101 WAYS WITH CHARMS

charm tree

So I have been busy with one of our upcoming Christmas GOOD NEWSLETTERS and for a little hint of the GOOD LOOKS parties: FIRST NOEL and centre’s all around BABY’S FIRST CHRSITMAS. Alex did such a good job on this party, so for anyone who was blessed with a little baby this year, you are going to be besotted with this Christmas Theme.

Anyway, it got me thinking about all the things one could one do to make Christmas that little bit extra special for the little ones. I love the idea of a small tree in a child’s room, one just for them! And for a real original take on this instead of hanging traditional Christmas ornaments and baubles (but I do love our Baby selection) you could tie on pretty charms with ribbons! And then in a little gift box below the tree wrap up a charm bracelet or necklace! This works well for both baby girls and young ladies! Now imagine if your husband would do the same for you with diamonds! (*hint*hint Liam if you are reading this! And the “diamond” decorations in our shop don’t count!)

that’s my wine

For a hostess one of her best friend’s should be wine charms, not just because they look fabulous and help guests identify their wine glass, but because it looks like you put in a lot of effort when actually secretly it saves you having to do extra washing up!

Glam up your glasses with our charms, simply tie one around the stem of each glass with a pretty thin ribbon, or a wire loop. And for an even more personal touch buy our initial charms and make your guests feel extra special.

What’s more buy our cellphone cords, keyring chain, bracelet or necklaces and now you have the perfect favour!

charm cake

ARTICLE FROM MARTHASTEWART.COM

This old custom is charming indeed: At the bridesmaids' luncheon, each guest pulls one ribbon from the center of a Bundt cake to find a good-luck charm and message dangling from the other end. Complement charms with fortunes, ribbons, and bags.

Ribbons can be colour coded so single, married, and very young women will choose charms - such as rings or baby carriages - that are appropriate for their situations. Other popular charms include a coin (for luck), an aeroplane (for travel), and a cellphone (for a special phone call).

To assemble, bake your favorite Bundt cake, put the charms in the center, and drape the ribbons over the cake; fresh or fake flowers provide decoration while hiding the charms.

tooth fairy

As the story goes the Tooth Fairy is a fairy that gives a child money or gifts in exchange for a baby tooth that has fallen out. Children place the tooth under their pillow at night while they sleep. The fairy is said to take the tooth from under the pillow and replace it with money. Or how about one of our pretty charms instead?
