An Anniverary Gift

Sometimes it's really hard to find a gift for that someone special. Most men want to find something that is useful and practical. I knew a guy who once gave his wife car tires for a holiday present. Bad Idea! While it was useful and practical, it was not something that any wife would like to receive. That gift scores a negative number on the romance scale! A good gift not only is useful and practical but it says, "You're special. You mean a lot to me!" Jewelry is always a good gift that sends a special message, but sometimes it's not financially practical. That's where hand made jewelry from etsy.com comes into play. Not only does it meet that criteria, but because it's hand made, it's unique and more personal. Jewelry on Etsy is not the jewelry that was made in mass quantities and that you can pick up at any department store! Plus it supports local, individual artists. Who can beat that?

I just bought my wife this necklace for our anniversary. It was designed and made by a local Seattle artist by the name of Keri D’Angelo. It was so cool to be able to reach out to the artist directly and purchase this special gift for my wife. Since I was running a bit short on time, I was able to make the purchase online, and then meet the artist personally to pick up the gift. Check out Keri's work at kdangelo.etsy.com
