A gift from the heart + giveaway.

By Samantha
With Christmas less than two months away (yikes), I’ve been on the search for personalized gifts for the special people in my life. I have seen Origami Owl jewelry for quite some time but I’ve never actually seen one in person!
When one of my sponsors offered to send me one and host a giveaway for all of you, of course I couldn’t wait to check it out for myself. Origami Owl specializes in living lockets; you choose the locket, the chain, and the charms to represent the important things in your life. 

They have SO many charms to choose from and I honestly had a really hard time narrowing them down! But after much deliberation, I went with these:
A yellow ribbon; to support my husband and the troops
A N; for Nolan
A camera; for my photography hobby. 
An I love you postcard; because Zach and I fell in love through letters while he was away at Basic Training. 
A pearl; because I love anything vintage.

It comes in this adorable little box and pouch, and would be a sweet gift for anyone in your life. You can create a theme (a friend of mine has one all about her husband and the army) or you can mix and match all of the things you find important. You can also change them out and add to them over time 🙂 

As most of you know, Z and I spend a lot of time away from each other and I loved that this was something I could always wear near my heart. 
And now the best part! Tanya has offered to give away a $50 gift card to Origami Owl! You can use it for yourself or as a gift for someone special; either way, you will have so much fun picking out the special little charms 🙂 
Just enter the Rafflecopter below and a winner will be chosen next week…. good luck!
