This year for Bridgette’s birthday, I gave her a beautiful Soufeel charm bracelet. Unlike the stuffed animals, clothes and gadgets that will eventually end up at Goodwill, the bracelet can stay with her throughout her lifetime. It’s something she can pass down through the generations.

This is important to me because family heirlooms enrich our appreciation for the past. Without them, we lose important elements in our life narrative. Books, diaries, dolls, toys, old magazines, tombstone rubbings, needlework, letters, souvenirs, dishes, scrapbooks, baubles and bracelets are among everyone’s favorite family keepsakes.

Picking Charms

We’ve already celebrated several important events in Bridgy’s young life, so I had some catching up to do. I picked four charms to get things going:

•  A birthstone charm featuring Swarovski crystals in sterling silver
• A bulldog to represent her school mascot
• A Holy Bible charm to mark her First Communion
• A daughter charm

The thing I love best about the Soufeel charm bracelet is that the charms don’t dangle from tiny, thin links. They fit securely on the sterling silver snake bracelet — complete with a nifty barrel clasp. It will make it much harder for Bridgy to lose her cherished trinkets. Dare I say, it works like a charm. Ha!

Soufeel offers hundreds of charms assigned to a dozen or so themes including religion, occupations, hobbies, vacations, travel, animals, pets, family, friends, and more. I’ve already anticipated the ones I’m going to buy next. I really love the good luck charms.

Bridgy loves her charm bracelet so much! It’s kind of a grown-up gift for a little girl, but she takes very good care of it. She was especially excited to receive it because Grace, the 2015 Girl of the Year from American Girl, wears a charm bracelet that her mother gave her. I had no idea until after I gave Bridgy her charm bracelet!

But, what if my daughter is all grown-up?

If you’re thinking that your daughter is all grown-up and maybe it’s too late to buy charms and connect them to special memories or events, you may want to reconsider. I’ve already ordered a bracelet for my 17-year-old daughter Juliette’s upcoming birthday. It’s never too late to mark special occasions with charms. After all, the history of charms dates back to the Neolithic era when man would carry stones and pieces of wood to ward off his enemies. I like the idea of my girls wearing symbols of my love around their wrists as they go out into the big, bad world!

I look forward to seeing Bridgy’s bracelet full of beautiful Soufeel charms — one super special occasion at a time. They cost around $20 to $30 a piece. New charms are added all the time while other charms are retired. The sterling silver bracelets sell for as little as $30 and the quality is great.

Did you have a charm bracelet growing up?
