Charmed, I'm Sure

As R. and her friends approach their 8th birthdays (how did that happen?) I've started looking for 'tween-friendly gifts that are unique, trendy, and affordable. At Etsy I discovered these sweet hand-stamped personalized charm necklaces by Lilly Ellen. I had a hard time choosing which one to show you here, but I settled on this Pink Sport Shoe Personalized Charm Necklace ($20) because I love that little Converse hi-top charm. Each necklace includes a 3/4 inch silver nickel disc hand-stamped with any name, several charms and coordinating beads, and a chain up to 20 inches in length. Check out the cute gift packaging, too. They cost $20 (including personalization) and can be purchased at the Etsy shop of Lilly Ellen.
