Click on each button to read about some outstanding gift ideas I have come across while browsing online. All featured gifts are products from small businesses. Some of the items I have had the pleasure of owning and some I have just been impressed with from what I have seen online.

Normally for my Top Pick items, I choose one specific item to feature. In this case, I was not able to choose just one. I believe that any necklace from Circle of Sentiments would be a hit for any lady who loves sterling silver or copper jewelry.

I was fortunate enough to win a Circle of Sentiments custom stamped sterling silver necklace on MomDot recently. This is what I received . . .


When I opened the package I was delighted to see this shiny tin. Inside the tin was my custom necklace along with a business card, instructions on how to properly care for sterling silver jewelry, and a disposable polishing cloth. My necklace says, "Todd's Girl" and is a variation of the silver maternity necklace. I had a heart charm put in place of the birthstones and chose a 16" chain. It took me a long time to figure out what I wanted to have stamped on the pendant and the owner Jamie was so patient with me and gave me such outstanding customer service. My necklace was shipped only a few short days after my order was finalized.
