Momma Told Me: Give something personal.

Every year I try to knock out all of my holiday shopping before Black Friday sale ads even surface. But every year there are always a few people on my list that require something a little more personal than summer sausage gift sets and body scrubs. Whether it's the cousin that seems to have everything, or the Aunt with hundreds of shared memories and a personal bond; custom gifts are the perfect answer. Where as, when I was a young girl, people used to have to go to specialty shops to order photo engraved gifts, the internet has presented a myriad of options for fast and affordable custom photo gifts. You can even gift enamel photo gifts on Sterling Silver, or go for a more timeless engraving that literally etches your chosen image on precious metal. Online Sterling Silver jeweler, Eve's Addiction, offers just that, and more in their range of precious metal and stainless steel gifts that span custom pieces to celebrity inspired replicas.

Because Eve's Addiction first began as a worldwide Sterling Silver jewelry distributor, they know how to cut consumer costs and provide affordable gifting options to fit every budget. Custom engraved pieces start under $30, and range from pendants and charms to necklaces and bracelets. Shop their Tiffany Style jewelry for a memorable gift that looks like a million bucks, without the sticker shock, or choose one of the many monogrammed and birthstone pieces for an intimate piece that will connect you and the recipient for a lifetime. The selection can seem overwhelming at first, but their simple product categories and search function quickly helps shoppers narrow their interests down by metal, finish, custom theme, keyword, and more. And, best of all, their fact processing is bundled with a convenient checkout system that enables buyers to pay with credit, debit, Google Checkout, PayPal, and more!

One of my 'hard to shop for's every year is Momma's sister, my Aunt. While I'm sure it is not the case, it seems like she has everything she could want, and shopping traditional 'hot buy' gifts just doesn't work. When it comes to family I try not to gift gift cards, and like to rely on sites like Eve's Addiction for a more personal gift that is sure to be a hit on sentiment alone. This year I found a Sterling Silver Photo Charm within my budget, I immediately knew would be a big hit. Not only was the adorable heart shaped charm the perfect frame for a photo of my Aunt's two furry 'kids,' but it offered flexibility above a typical pendant. The lobster clasp could easily be attached to a keychain, pet collar, luggage or more, as well as be added to an existing charm bracelet. Cropping and editing my chosen photo was simple; though I would love to see a life-like estimation of the translated image to the engraving. Eve's Addiction offers tips for the perfect gray-scale image (a clean background is highly suggested), but I altered the photo to black and white for a more accurate visual.

When my Eve's Addiction custom photo pendant arrived it was nestled inside a soft velvet pouch with care instructions, inside a gift-ready box. I was immediately impressed with how much detail the photo engraving process captured on a charm that was no wider than my thumb. Photos do not do this piece justice- it's hard to miss that this charm is beloved Yorkies Miley and Harley, and I know their Momma will be tickled to have such a lasting reminder of their love. I couldn't be happier with the ease of customizing my piece, or the speed in which I received our heart pendant, and the pricing was more than competitive! I will be ordering many more gifts from Eve's Addiction, and look forward to several more happy family members!
