One of the most heart flipping things, ever, is delving into the process of creating my own charm combination… something extra special to carry with me, close to my heart, as I move through my days. A single charm dangling from a simple chain is lovely. But a cluster of stunning treasures…that’s even better.

For your sisterhood…your best friend forever, your nearest and dearest, your twin sister, your polar opposite sister, your soon to be sister-in-law, and for that random bridesmaid who you were persuaded into adding to your bridal party (hey, it happens.). For your sisterhood in its many forms, here are some pretty special gifts to say, thank you for their love and support…and for that bachelorette party that got a little out of control.
For a glowing surprise, add a Baby Insignia Charm inside a Miniature Round Insignia Trinket Box, with an individualized initial for each bridesmaid. It’s perfect for keepsakes. Personalize the box with an initial or choose from this fleur de lis, a peace sign, or a croix.
The Freeform Pearl Bracelet is a classy mix of traditional and modern…a thoughtful choice for the ladies who can pull off that certain charm. This graceful bracelet also makes a perfect accessory for your bridesmaids on your wedding day, so you could give them as your gifts and ask that they wear them on the wedding day.
Here’s a lovely way to combine all their charms in one storied cluster of sweetness. The Banner Charm Holder (in brass or sterling silver) opens to allow charms to dangle lovingly and securely, to keep their treasures safe and near to their hearts.
These Fragments Bangles will be poetry for their wrists…gentle reminders of love adorning with just the right words on golden brass or sterling silver.

Ah yes, Graduation season is upon us and it’s the perfect time to celebrate. Offer up the hand shakes and pats on the backs. Extend some, “Woo Hoos!” and a rousing, “Heck of a job well done! We’re so proud of you.” (Who wouldn’t love a little of that after working tirelessly to learn and achieve? And, come to think of it, who wouldn’t love a dose of that at the end of every day?)
For the new graduates, those who have accomplished a measure of notable success and are now breathing a deep sigh of relief, we at Waxing Poetic are offering our own kudos and accolades to them for fulfilling achievements and breaking boundaries. Congratulate graduates with these gifts of small objects to celebrate big new doors swinging open.
(2010 Banner Orb Charm…a lovely way to mark the year of great successes.)
(Your Heart is Your Map Pendant…a reminder, a reward, a moment.)
Some of our other favorite gifts include Banner Bracelets…to wear and to give as reminders, wishes, validations. Big Sis/Lil Sis Pendant and Greek Sorority Charms, which celebrate sisterhood, stories, and adventures. Still looking for a special something for your graduate? Check out our entire Graduation Gift Guide. Ready…set…celebrate! And throw in a few extra “Woo Hoos” while you’re at it.
