Create her a story with a Charm Story Bracelet from Things Remembered *Giveaway!*

Mother’s Day is almost here. I have been looking around and asking hubby to pick out a Mother’s Bracelet, but we haven’t really seen anything that sparks my eye… Until now. A few weeks ago, the family and I went to Omaha for the day, to the mall. I had to peek in at Things Remembered and I saw so many new things that I was so excited, surprised, yet happy to see!

Things Remembered, the leading personalized gift retailer, introduces Charm Story debuting just in time for Mother’s Day. This gorgeous bracelet is a charm collection that puts mom’s personality on display and recount her special memories with a gift that tells her unique story.

Each Things Remembered charm is designed specifically with the personal connection in mind, offering space to engrave a name, date or special message to make each charm a unique reflection of mom. For example, if mom is a runner, you can incorporate a charm symbolizing her first marathon and engrave the name of the race, the date she completed it and even her finishing time. Or, if mom is your strength, you can incorporate a charm representing the Chinese symbol for strength and add the date her cancer went into remission, the date she quit smoking or the date of another inspired moment.

Each special charm retails for just $20, as do the new Things Remembered charm bracelet and charm necklace. However, to help start the collection for mom, Things Remembered is offering the bracelet or necklace with one ”First Chapter” starter charm – either a heart, circle, star or dog tag-shaped charm – for just $30. Engraving is a small, additional cost and the gift comes in a special presentation storybook box.

You can check out the complete line (which is available both in stores and online) at Things Remembered.com. On the website you can see the wide assortment of available charms, including mom and grandma charms, photo charms, baby charms, birthstone charms, travel and hobby charms, cause-related charms, pet charms and many, many more – which can all be personalized with names, dates, quotes, song lyrics, etc.

I have been looking for a mother’s bracelet that is cute, yet mature, yet something that doesn’t really ‘look’ like a mother’s bracelet. I have always had a fondness of charm bracelets, so when I received my gorgeous Things Remembered Mother’s Day Charm Bracelet, I honestly had tears in my eyes!

I chose 4 charms.

• *heart with ring* Hubby and my wedding anniversary. This charm has a diamond ring on it. Gorgeous!
• *heart with birth stone* Tucker’s name one one side and his birth date on the other, with his birthstone on the charm
• *heart with birth stone* Kambry’s name on one side and her birth date on the other, with her birthstone on the charm
• *butterfly* K’s (older DD) charm with her name and birth date. This is a gorgeous butterfly.

How can a mother, grandmother, aunt or anyone for that matter, not fall in love and get teary eyed when they open such beauty like this?
