Gift ideas for children
If you're standing there and in need of some gift ideas for your child, then you should keep reading, as there will be many creative solutions to solving this, luckily a very small problem.
And I know it can be a problem that grows bigger and bigger in your mind.
Because you really want to do well and make your children happy with exactly the gift they least expected, but will be thrilled with.
Here, the gift could be a necklace, a pair of small earrings, or a bracelet that will bring joy to the child and that they can cherish for many years to come.
Birthday gifts / Christmas gifts / Christening gifts, how hard can it be?
Maybe you've been invited to a child's birthday party, a Christmas Eve gathering, or a christening, and you're completely blank on what to give as a gift.
You want, at the same time, a gift that won't just be unwrapped and tossed into a corner—a gift that isn’t filled with chemicals or made entirely of plastic, which will pollute the earth for many generations to come.
That’s why, of course, your choice should be jewelry.
It may not be biodegradable, but it can be worn for many generations, if cared for properly.
Which earrings for children?
Unicorns, hearts, ladybugs, stars, and pandas have for many years been among the big hits with children when it comes to earrings.
Recently, bow earrings have also been added to these favorites, which really stand out.
What you should be aware of when buying earrings for children is, of course, that they should be nickel-free.
Read on below the picture here, as it got a bit long, and I got completely caught up in the topic, along with the belief you can develop by hearing the same thing enough times.
A bit like how 8kt gold is more durable than 14kt, and yes, that's a whole different conversation, which I'll save for another day, as this was supposed to be about jewelry for children.
Is there nickel in jewelry?
Since nickel is absorbed slowly by the body and the body can't eliminate it on its own, it can cause nickel allergy if you're really unlucky.
As a general rule, all jewelry sold in Denmark by a jeweler, and made from silver or gold, is nickel-free.
Tests are constantly carried out by the Precious Metal Control, which checks that the purity and alloy match the stated specifications.
Did you know that there is actually nickel in all materials, which is why the term "nickel-free" can be a bit misleading?
If you want to buy the best nickel-free jewelry for your children or acquaintances, you should choose titanium, followed by surgical steel, gold, and silver.
And no, you shouldn't choose costume jewelry for your children, or you can, just don't let them wear it for too many hours at a time.
It's probably a bit like with everything else: a little is good, sometimes more is better, and in the end, it's just really bad.
Which necklace for children?
Now that you are a bit wiser about bracelets and earrings for children, let's just quickly touch on necklaces for children.
Many children receive a Denmark Cross (Dagmarkors) for their christening, or a small heart in gold, and many bring the jewelry out again when they are confirmed, wearing it with grace.
In addition to the Denmark Cross, we sell many necklaces for children featuring ladybugs, small stones, flowers, unicorns, and butterflies.
Some choose for their necklace to be simple in silver or gold, while others prefer more colorful options with enamel in beautiful warm colors.
A chain almost always comes with our children's jewelry, and if you're unsure about the length, the perfect length for a children's necklace is typically 36/38 cm.
When should children meet?
Uhhh, this is quite a thought experiment...
When should children meet, especially when they come from two different families that have been brought together without their consent?
Perhaps, above all, they just want to continue their lives in their own little bubble, where everything is as it was before—where it's safe and calm.
And can we ask them to engage with other people after telling them they've been uprooted from their familiar surroundings with a mother and father?
Is there an answer to this, and if so, who has the answer?
As I write this, I can already feel my heart beat a little faster, and I believe it might be appropriate to trust your gut feeling.
And maybe, that's the answer!
When your, or my, gut feeling is right, and everything feels good, safe, and comforting, that's when it's time to share the idea with the children.
