SILLY Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Have you looked in Argos they have some nice silver lockets that are affordable or what about a heart pendant there are lots of really nice ones. Perhaps you could even get them a birthstone pendant? I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTM_1983 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 How old are the girls? If they are old enough let them choose something themselves that they would want to wear keep to remind them of their nan. I think the idea of jewellry is nice, and as Silly mentioned Argos have some lovely things that are affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llamatron Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Its got to be a charm bracelet! I still love the one I was given as a little girl containing charms from different family members. Just get the bracelet and one charm, they can add to it as they get older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlittlepup Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Its got to be a charm bracelet! I still love the one I was given as a little girl containing charms from different family members. Just get the bracelet and one charm, they can add to it as they get older. I was going to say that too. Then they can get new charms to put on it when they have milestones like birthdays or passing their driving test, or having their first baby and it will mean they can keep on adding to it all their lives and will be a lovely way to remember their nan even when they are older.

I always think its nice to buy something with a bit of history to it - art deco, Victorian items etc. Buying new stuff will in the short -term depreciate in value - its just not unique.
