First Time’s a Charm for New Moms
Blogged under Jewelry by Laurie Montoya on Wednesday 16 April 2008

Since Mother’s Day will be here before you know it, it’s time to start thinking about a gift for the special mom in your life. New moms barry-kronen-oval-fram-charm-babylicious.jpgcelebrating their first Mother’s Day deserve special consideration. If you want to give a gift that is sure to become a treasured family heirloom, check out jewelry designer Barry Kronen’s new Babylicious collection, available at Ylang 23. When you send in a cherished photo, this image is then etched into the 18-karat gold charm of your choice using state-of-the-art technology. Choose between the diamond oval frame charm ($4,555, pictured), the diamond square frame charm ($4,300) or the diamond heart frame charm  ($2,235). If you like the idea of a personalized gift on a smaller budget, then these Rembrandt photo charms from Precious Accents might be more appropriate, such as the sterling silver scroll edge charm ($60) or the smooth oval in 14K yellow gold ($285). Precious Accents has so much to choose from that you may be tempted to buy more than one. Perhaps the mom you are buying for is more the private type and less apt to wear her heart – or her children – on her sleeve. If that’s the case, some simple initial charms to represent her beloveds might be a safer bet. At Max and Chloe, these Zoe Chicco personalized charm necklaces are a subtle choice and come with your choice of a single 14-karat gold disk ($195), double gold and silver charms ($220) or three disks ($370). If it’s the thought that counts, mom will appreciate the considerable thought that went behind a personalized gift for her special day.

Oh, the Horrors! Yes, Halloween is Getting Costly

When Halloween rolls around, things no longer go bump in the night. They go “ka-ching.” That’s the sound of money in the till, and this holiday is big business for retailers. Americans will spend more than $5 billion for costumes, candy and spooky décor this year, according to a projection from the National Retail Federation.

Stores started hauling out the Halloween gear around Labor Day, so you may already be behind the curve on planning outfits for the kids, the grownups and even the pets. It’s time to hit the grocery store for candy – the average person will spend $19.84 for sweet treats, the federation says. And don’t forget the creepy creations for the front yard, the porch and inside the house. Halloween decorations have become a big part of the holiday, and the average person will spend almost $20 for them this year.
