All three of the kids have birthdays coming up soon. Husband and I went shopping for presents this weekend.
The kids have more toys and clothes than they could ever need. They're so young, they won't even really remember their birthdays this year, anyhow. So we decided to get them each something meaningful-- a keepsake that they can enjoy later.
It took us a long time to find the right presents. We looked at gold baby bracelets for the girls, little Precious Moments birthday figurines, piggy banks with engravable plaques. Nothing seemed right.
Finally we picked out a charm for each of the girls at Swarovski. They're sweet and babyish-- little duckies-- and they can be worn on a necklace or put on a charm bracelet. And for Henry we got an i.d. bracelet that won't fit him until he's a bit bigger, and this dogtag-style necklace that he could wear anytime. We need to get Henry's gift engraved but we want to think about what we'll put on it first.
I'm really happy with the gifts we got them. I hope they like them some day, too.
