We all have someone in our lives who loves a particular animal or theme. Robins are a common bird to take a person’s heart, as they are beautiful and symbolize growth and renewal.

You’re fortunate when someone close to you has an interest in robins, or even birds in general, because you know exactly what sort of thing to look for when it comes time to buy gifts.

We’re going to talk about some ideas of gifts for bird lovers in this article, hopefully inspiring you to pick something out for the robin-fanatic in your life!

Gift Ideas for Bird Lovers

Even if you know what someone likes, it can be hard to imagine what to get them that they don’t already have. This is especially true when they have specific interests because it seems like die-hard robin lovers have every bird nick-nack under the sun.

That said, we hope to suggest some ideas that you may not have thought of. Let’s begin:

1. Seed, Feeders, and Garden Adornments

What better gift to give a robin lover than seed to attract robins? Do some research online, and you’ll quickly find the particular kinds of seed that robins enjoy.

Additionally, you can buy a bird feeder or garden fixture for your friend that birds will be drawn to. You could also consider making your own bird feeder if you have the time.

2. Robin Jewelry

Someone who loves robin will never pass on a great piece of robin jewelry. Because robins are so rich in symbolism, their image makes a great addition to most pieces of jewelry.

A unique set of robin earrings or a necklace will bring a smile to the face of any bird lover.

3. Paintings and Prints

If you know the person’s artistic preferences, you should consider finding them a print or canvas of a robin online. There are a lot of avenues to buy art online, and many of them are sure to have robin-based artwork.

You’ll be surprised at the depth of variety of the art you find with a simple Google search.

4. Household Items with Robin Photos

Another great thing about the internet is that you can pretty much slap a photo of anything onto anything these days. In other words, you could put a photo of a robin onto a rug, a blanket, a pillow, a cup, hat, shirt, table, phone case, pair of socks, or anything you could imagine.

These are all great gifts for people who love robins.

5. Robin Antiques

Now, someone who loves a particular animal typically gets bombarded with antique versions of that animal at every holiday. So, before you go out and buy your friend an old robin figurine or something, make sure that they don’t already have a thousand of them.

At the same time, buy whatever you feel will mean something to your friend!

Do you or someone you know love boxers? Their soulful eyes and sensitive hearts?

Not this kind.

The deeply supportive kind that gives a big boost.  No, not this kind either.

We mean the kind with black button noses and goofy grins. That’s right, the 31st most popular breed of dog in the U.K.

Boxers are known for their intelligence and loyalty to children and family. It’s no wonder that people go head over heels for a Boxer puppy. Want to give the perfect gift to a new dog mum? We have just the right suggestions from our Woof collection.

Read on to learn more.

Hold a Boxer Puppy Shower

Human mums-to-be get showered with gifts useful for themselves and the new baby. Why not lavish the same on new dog owners? After all, an adorable boxer puppy has many of the same needs.

Think about a puppy party! Some practical ideas for a new pet parent include a crate for the new addition, lots of chew toys and pads for housebreaking. It’s never too early to consider training, so obedience sessions with a puppy coach might be a welcome surprise.

Don’t forget to indulge pet parents, too. Doggy daycare or a volunteer pet sitter for spa weekends away are often appreciated. City dog owners enjoy the services of a good dog walker.

Making Memories

A Boxer puppy reaches maturity at a little more than a year old. That means that babies undergo changes and grow quickly. Rolly-poly puppies become leggy adolescents in a blink of an eye.

Commemorate all this growth with lots of photos. In the early stage of puppyhood, a photo a week might not be enough. It doesn’t have to be fancy. No matching hats and jumpers are necessary.

Even dogs have Instagram feeds! A simple online scrapbook of shots to document the change from a ball of fluff to a loyal companion is one way to keep memories green. Try a photo a day, every day at the same time to document growth spurts.

Meaningful Gifts

For something more sentimental and permanent, consider giving jewellery to celebrate the new family member.  A sterling silver charm for a bracelet is a nice way to recognize a boxer puppy addition to the family. A loyal Boxer pendant in solid silver is another way to showcase a much-loved pet.

A charm or pendant is simple, elegant and flattering. It’s a way to wear loyalties to the Boxer dog. As a gift, it’s fun and personal without being trite and sentimental.

Let Us Help You Find the Right Jewellery

We make only the finest silver chains, pendants, bracelets, charms and more. We have just the right sterling silver gift items for any occasion. Whether it is a new Boxer puppy or a little something for Mothers’ Day, we can create the right gift for you.

Did you know that the snowflake symbol isn’t just pretty to look at? There are several meanings behind the snowflake that many admire. If you’re looking for the perfect gift for someone difficult to buy for or you want to treat yourself with something unique, a snowflake charm could be exactly what you need.

Along with the snowflake being a popular winter symbol for jewellery, it also has some phenomenal characteristics. So, what does the snowflake represent?

Immaculateness

When the snowflake lands, it is immaculate. On it’s journey from the sky to its landing, the snowflake touches nothing else. It symbolises a type of purity that is rarely seen in anything else.

The experience of snowflakes falling onto your skin is one that everyone enjoys. Seeing the intricacy of a real snowflake enhances how beautiful and immaculate they really are.

Unique

The snowflake also represents uniqueness. Every snowflake that drops may look similar but no two snowflakes are ever the same. The water molecules that freeze grow at different rates as the snowflakes drop, so the patterns are always completely different, depending on the temperature.

If you’re buying for someone who likes to stand out of the crowd or needs to be reminded of how special they are, the snowflake is perfect. Just like the snowflake, no two people are ever the same and a snowflake charm is a great representation of that.

Perfection

Finding perfection is a difficult task. There aren’t many things in this world that are deemed to be perfect, but the snowflake is one of them. Known to be geometrically perfect, the snowflake is one of the very few objects to be connected with the term perfection.

Serenity and Tranquility

Have you ever sat and stared out of a window while it snowed outside? The vision can bring you total peace and tranquility. The falling of snow often coincides with the feeling of warmth and cosiness.

The snow also brings much joy to families brave enough to get outside and build snowmen, ski, or sled. A sense of inner peace can be achieved through joy.

Christmas Time

It’s no secret that the snowflake is often connected with Christmas. For many people, it’s one of the happiest times of the year. The snowflake symbol is everywhere, along with Santa, reindeer and Christmas trees. You’ll notice it in shop windows, on wrapping paper, and on jewellery.

It’s a time when people get to see their loved ones, take a much-deserved break from work and celebrate in style. So, it goes without saying that the snowflake makes an excellent gift choice.

The Snowflake Charm is Perfect for Winter

You’ve probably seen the snowflake symbol thousands of times before, but did you know the meanings behind it? Rarity, uniqueness, and tranquility are just some of the reasons to give a snowflake charm this year.

Take a look at some more winter charms. They make the perfect Christmas gifts for loved ones.

When it comes to familial relationships in a person’s life, there is nothing more special and precious than the love that a mother and daughter share for one another.

Becoming trendier to wear and more popular as gifting items are charm bracelets and charms in general. They are the perfect blend of style and sentimental value, making them ideal for building a bond and tradition with a loved one.

The Timeless Appeal of Charms

Charms have had a long history. They are so-called because they were originally worn to ward off enemies long before they became decorative jewellery. Neolithic man was known to have worn charms, but it was the ancient Egyptians who started to use them to adorn the body.

Modern charms may not have such a mystical meaning, but they can still represent something meaningful or spiritual to the wearer and the person gifting a charm.

Here are some of the best ranges we have for starting a mother-daughter gift tradition with charm jewellery.

Rather than something gimmicky, treat yourself and your mother to a set of matching charms that build a bond between you and give you both something to remember your precious pet.

2. Gallop Collection

3. Initial Charms

When you’re picking a gift for a loved one, the symbols you use have meaning behind them.

When you want to give someone strength, give them a lion, if you want to give them wisdom, give them an owl. If you want to give them immortality, potential, and growth, give them an acorn.

The acorn is a symbol as old as the oak, going back to the very first stories people shared. That symbolism still carries over to today.

Here is exactly what the acorn symbolizes, and where acorn symbolism came from.

Ancient Beliefs Held Acorns in High Regards

Druids used to eat acorns, believing they had prophetic qualities. Historians believe the word “druid” comes from the Celtic word for acorn.

In Celtic and Nordic cultures, the acorn symbolized immortality, fertility, and life.

The acorn has been full of symbolism all throughout history. This symbolism lingers into today.

The Acorn of Strength and Power

In the Norse myth, Thor’s tree of life was the oak. Even the mighty god Thor trusted in the acorn to grow his tree of life.

Throughout mythology, the acorn and oak tree was linked to gods of power. Traditionally it was associated with gods of storms, thunder, and lightning.

This makes sense since oak trees can grow to be over 1,000 years old. As the biggest tree in an area, oaks are often more likely to be struck by lightning.

The Acorn of Perseverance and Hard Work

Consider this quote from Napoleon Hill. “The strongest oak of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. It’s the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for existence against the winds and rains and the scorching sun.”

The acorn that grows into a mighty oak is one that has to handle struggle and hard times. Thus, the acorn is a reminder that the difficulties we incur help us grow strong.

When you wear an acorn, it’s a constant reminder to continue, to persevere, and keep working hard.

The Acorn of Youth

Some cultures believe if you hang an acorn around your neck it will prevent premature ageing. After all, an acorn is still a baby tree. It speaks of youth, potential, and fertility.

Acorns are regularly used as baby decor because from small things, great things grow.

Check out the cool symbolism behind animal charms.

Acorn Symbolism Means Potential

Whether you’re looking for growth, perseverance or stability, the acorn symbolizes it all. All the wonder in a mighty oak grows from a single acorn.

When you want to remind your loved one of their amazing and endless potential, get them an acorn. As the Bugs Life says, “Everything that made that giant tree is already contained inside this tiny little seed.”

Check out our acorn jewellery to bring the acorn symbolism everywhere with you.

Are you passionate about animals? Do you experience an emotional response to certain animal symbols?

Cultures, countries, and religions rely on symbols to protect and unify those belonging to the group. A survey of symbols formed into jewellery shows the myriad of beliefs and emotions expressed and valued by the person wearing the piece.

Early hieroglyphics incorporated animals to tell their story. Our jewellery today tells our story as well.

Symbolism in Jewellery

Communication is fundamental in our lives. Throughout history, symbols have played an integral role in rituals of expression. Literal representations of objects take on new meanings. A single symbol conveys information and ideas to individuals or groups.

These symbols serve to bring people closer together in love, strength, spirituality, and belief. Symbols form a common language that reaches beyond the spoken word.

6 Fascinating Animal Symbols for Jewellery

Animals have held symbolic meanings throughout history.

Animal symbols often embody vast stories, passions, and beliefs for the wearer. When received as a gift, the piece often shows love and bonding between two individuals.

These six animal symbols demonstrate a sample of the love and unity that jewellery can hold.

1. The Bee

The bee represents Spring and Summertime. Today, many people feel concern for preserving the bees. Without the bee, the life cycle of the world ends.

Thus, the beautiful bee not only creates a wonderful piece of jewellery, but it also symbolizes your love for our earth.

2. The Dog

Man’s and woman’s best friend. Scientific evidence shows that dogs have been living with people for 32,000 years. They serve as companions, service animals, and have key roles as work animals.

The symbol of a dog can represent a host of emotions and memories for an individual. Bearing the symbol of the dog often provides comfort and joy.

3. The Horse

In nature, the horse relies on relationships with its herd. This holds the herd together and ensures protection and survival. These same values apply in human families and friendships.

The horse symbolizes feelings of trust, respect, confidence, and connectedness. Horses have extraordinary powers of communication. Being present in a herd provides a great privilege and benefit for humans.

4. The Butterfly

The butterfly remains one of the most symbolic animals throughout many cultures. It signifies the power of personal transformation. Some believe seeing a butterfly indicates oncoming personal change or metamorphosis.

This change symbolizes a journey from an old life to a new one. And from a place of ignorance to awareness. The butterfly gives us hope for a better life.

5. The Cat

The ancient symbolic Celtic cat embodies the guardian of the Otherworld. Cats keep secrets. They gaze with contempt upon the world that doesn’t comprehend their knowledge.

Feline myths demonstrate rigidity in good vs. evil, reflecting people’s opinions of cats. Despite their stance, humans remain influenced by the legends and lore of the cat.

6. The Elephant

Many cultures depict the majestic elephant as a symbol of strength and power in the body and mind. The elephant helps us along our journey that necessitates patience.

The elephant also demonstrates sensitivity, wisdom, stability, loyalty, intelligence, peace, reliability, and determination. These gentle giants show great gentleness and care toward their calves and other members of their herd.

While gold and rose gold has been trending the past few years, the summer of 2019 is all about silver jewellery.

But while sterling silver jewellery is full of lustre and brilliance, there’s a catch. It gets tarnished!

Between air pollution and daily wear and tear, keeping silver jewellery clean can feel like an uphill battle. But there is hope. Read this guide for five tips on how to clean sterling silver and bring your fave pieces back to life!

The 101 on How to Clean Sterling Silver

If you’ve neglected your silver jewellery over the years, it’s time to take action. Follow these next 5 tips and your silver jewellery will go from dull to dazzling in an afternoon.

1. Prevention Is Better Than a Cure

Instead of cleaning sterling silver, prevent it from tarnishing in the first place. One of the best ways to keep your silver jewellery looking fresh is to wear it regularly. The oils in your skin can keep the silver jewellery looking sparkly for longer.

Besides that, avoid exposure to these damaging elements:

• Household chemicals
• Sweat
• Rubber
• Sulfuric liquids
• Perfumes and cosmetics

In view of this, when you’re doing household chores or cooking, it’s best to take your silver jewellery off. And when you’re getting washed and dressed in the morning, put your silver jewellery on after using all your lotions and potions.

2. Polish to Perfection

If your silver jewellery is becoming tarnished, a simple polish may do the trick.

Silver is a soft metal and will scratch easily. So use a silver cloth or any other non-abrasive cloth to polish your jewellery. Whatever you do, don’t use paper towels or tissue as they contain fibres that may cause scratch marks.

If you’re cleaning silver-plated pieces, be careful not to polish excessively as you may damage the plating.

3. Clean-Up Time

Similar to polishing, use a soft cloth when cleaning silver. If there is dirt embedded between intricate fixtures, try using a soft-bristle toothbrush or cotton earbuds.

If you’re worried about using silver cleaning chemicals, try using green materials instead, such as washing up liquid, vinegar, baking soda, or toothpaste. After cleaning, make sure the jewellery is fully dry before storing it.

Whichever cleaning method works for you, be careful not to do it too often. Excessive cleaning may wear away the shiny finish.

4. Storing Your Silver Jewellery

Exposure to the sulfur-containing substances in the air is what actually tarnishes silver. Store your clean silver jewellery in airtight plastic bags, and this will reduce the chance of tarnishing.

If you can’t use plastic bags, be sure that you keep your silver jewellery out of direct sunlight and in a low-humidity area. You can even use anti-tarnish strips, activated charcoal, chalk, or a packet of silica gel to minimize tarnish.

5. Call the Experts

If you’ve tried all these methods and your silver jewellery has still lost its shine, take your pieces to a professional silver cleaner.

And while all these methods are all tried and tested, if your jewellery is old, fragile, or extremely valuable, it may be best to head to a professional straight away.

Born to Sparkle

If you follow these tips, your silver jewellery will sparkle and shine just like it did when it was brand new!

Of course, knowing how to clean sterling silver is only handy to know if you have silver jewellery to wear. For a stunning selection of silver animal-themed jewellery, take a look at our shop.
