Monogram Jewelry Gifts

I love monogram jewelry but it is so hard to find a good source to order gifts.  You want the monogram to look good and the quality to match.  I recently ordered from Get Name Necklace and was pleasantly surprised.  The jewelry (necklace in my case) was really pretty and the price was definitely right.  I decided to search through the site and find some other gifts that I need.  I also found some great items for father’s day and have featured some of my favorite items below…

Hands Down the Best Grad Gift For Girls

A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon a stylish company Caryn Lawn based in Dallas Texas.  They launched in April of 2019 and since are in 75 stores around the country.  Their Supernova collection is made of glass flat beads with 24k gold accents.  Women are wearing them stacked with other high fashion bracelets or in multiples as shown below.  My daughter has a stack that she LOVES and has been wearing everyday and everyone is stopping her asking where they came from.  The Supernova bracelets are def one of my top picks for Grad Gifts for her and while you are at it grab one or two for yourself.  Click HERE to see the entire collection..

Watches

A watch can be worn with almost any outfit, for any occasion. Men and women wear them when they are working out, going to a nice event, or just doing their everyday routines. Not only does a watch tell you the time, but can also track your fitness stats and heart rate. This accessory is not only stylish, but it is also functional. A watch is something you can have for a long time. When you are choosing a watch, consider how long you will have it and the quality it should be.
