Unique Heart Gifts for the Holidays

‘Tis the Season

With the holidays right around the corner, ‘gift shopping‘, will inevitably be on to-do lists nationwide in the coming weeks, which is a stress-inducing thought. To me, the holidays mean much more than ‘presents’, but the two have evolved into a hand-in-hand partnership, so when I am gift shopping, I try my hardest to put genuine thought into my purchases.  After perusing UNICEF Market and all of their handcrafted treasures, I decided that there was no better way to show my loved ones how much I care than to literally put my heart into it. Unique gifts with heart[s] are a delicate and feminine way to express your appreciation during this season of giving.

Full of Heart

Hearts have been a favorite of mine since the days of elementary school doodling. Not only are they adorable on paper, but they are symbolic for a multitude of reasons. The heart is the locus of physical and spiritual being, and represents the “central wisdom of feeling as opposed to the head-wisdom of reason.” Above all, it is the symbol of love, the all-healer. Gifts with heart come ‘gift-explanation-free’ because the reason is simple- you love them!

The Gifts That Keep Giving

Necklaces

This necklace below is stunning yet soft-spoken; a modest addition to any lady’s fine jewelry collection. The piece celebrates love, and the infinite circle reiterates the idea of an endless bond; between mother and daughter, sisters, best friends, couples- the possibilities are endless.

Bracelets

Did someone say arm party? If so, we want in! Bracelets are one of those things that always go over well.  They can be dressed up, dressed down, mixed with other pieces. Their versatility allows them to be worn day-in and day-out creating a handy wardrobe staple. The bracelet above is a prime example. The neutrality of the olive/silver combo makes it a dream to pair with. It’s the perfect gift for the ‘jewelry junkie‘ in your life, (take my word for it… I’m a jewelry junkie myself!)

Rings

In most cases, putting a ring on it is a wise decision, and the ring below is no exception. The sterling silver ring is adorned with a chrysocolla gemstone, which helps open the throat chakra, promoting both clear communication and self-expression by drawing negativity from the body.

Not only will you up the receiver’s ring game with this piece, but you’ll also help get those chakras aligned; that’s a gift home run!

Home Decor

When it comes to gifts, I’m all about providing practical pieces with an indefinite shelf-life. In other words, I’m anti-trendy. Classic pieces are the way to go because, spoiler alert: they never go out of style. Let’s take a look at the darling tabletop statuette below, for example.

They say home is where the heart is, and this handcrafted piece embodies that notion with ease. It oozes with love and is appropriate for virtually any occasion; birthday, holidays, housewarming, or a ‘just because’ gift. It’s sweet,  thoughtful, and impressively well-made- all the touchpoints you want to hit when giving a gift.

As long as you put your heart into whatever gift you are giving, it will be a success. But hey, adding actual hearts never hurts, either.
