Side note from me, re: the necklace on the left! I’ve never ordered anything personalized on Etsy before, and I’m not sure why, but I ordered this necklace with low expectations. I wanted to get the heart from my Taylor Swift autograph turned into a necklace, but I didn’t want to pay a ton of money for it, either. First of all, the seller, Caitlyn Minimalist, sent me sketches of the heart and made sure I was happy with it before proceeding to make the necklace! I actually received the necklace a few days earlier than anticipated, which was a really nice surprise! And it doesn’t look or feel cheap at all! It’s one of my favorite necklaces I own! Also, let me add, that according to the seller’s page, the cut-off for Christmas ordering has passed, however, it’s still a great gift option if you’re not planning on seeing the gift recipient until after Christmas, anyways!
Get the personalized necklace from Caitlyn Minimalist for $29.62 (three finishes, and nine sizes), and the personalized crayons from Art 2 The Extreme for $19.95+. Be sure to check out Etsy’s holiday gift section!
11.

12.
