Gifting tips for kids!

The kids today have become so fashionable, stylish and conscious, it is really remarkable as well as scary. When it comes to their clothes, shoes, hair accessories and even jewelry, it is they who want to take a final call on buying as well as wearing. They are born in the times, where fashion trends change at the drop of a hat and still they are up to it. All thanks to the rising reach of technology, the power of smart phones and the fast growing option of search engines, these kids get to know what is in vogue, even before we do sometimes. So when parents are finding it difficult to keep pace with their kids, their friends, who would want to occasionally buy gifts for these kids, are finding it even more difficult.

Remember the times, when a simple toy or a puzzle would really catch the fascination of the kids and they would be involved with them for months, weeks on end. Now if the gift they get is not up to the mark, they do not even want to look at it again. So in this case, how do we really decide the perfect gift for these kids? Gadgets are a good option, but they are way too costly. Who would want to spend a bomb for a close friends kids? Then there are books, which is a very good option,as they enhance the kid's knowledge and make them involved in learning.

Another option is kids jewelry, which is quite a tricky option for many reasons. Why so? First of all, jewelry is a vast subject, because of the number of options available. Secondly the material, design and the quality options also make it even more difficult to choose the right gift.

There of course some other aspects to the decision as well. There should surely be no lead or cadmium used in jewelry for kids, as they are extremely harmful materials for kids to be close to. Also diamond or solid gold jewelry for kids can be very costly as a gift, so it is best to go for sterling silver jewelry for kids or even gold plated for that matter.

Also if you are looking for cheaper stuff, there is an option of silver plated jewelry for kids, which is very affordable and durable, with the finish nowadays. As far as designs go, the best pick would be the one which the kids can relate to. Like flower designs, butterfly designs, other animal patterns or something fun and cute. As said earlier in the article, it is more of a challenge to impress the kids than their parents nowadays. If the kids can relate their gift to a animal they love or something they love a lot, it becomes a lot easier to impress them.

Bejeweled Expression!

If you want to see how much jewelry has come to be a part of day to day to living you do not need to go any further than your TV screen.  With advertisements that gloat about the shiniest diamonds and the most scrumptious pearls, jewelry has been annotated with celebration and enigma. The world of jewels has now become accessible from anyone to everyone.
Earlier the topic of jewelry use to form a conversation around heirlooms and old villas surrounding lonely islands, of mother’s days and valentines evenings when every woman was gifted somewhat of a treasure either looted or owned by her husband. Those were the days when jewelry was much more of a possession rather than an extension of their wardrobes. It was only in luncheons or soirĂ©e parties that hosts and invitees flaunted their lifestyles through the picturesque mode of jewelry. But now jewelry is a whole new affair. It is no longer understated rather it is much rightly known for its prominence that is making it not only an accessory in the fashion world but also giving it the form of one the key essentials that enhance clothing.

As has always been, it is the diamonds to hunt for or the gold and platinum. Designers are now taking expensive metals and transforming them to slivers with the faintest of the diamonds glittering on the top to make coveted neckpieces or one-of-a-kind statement jewelry. It is no longer only a medium to pronounce expensive gifting but it is also a reflection of the thought process of the designer. Jewelry has become a tool to voice out opinions. Be it through solid gold bars with giant emeralds that reflect the magnificence of the Egyptian era or the use of dyed feathers that are now the funkiest options for causal jewelry, it has become one of the central elements of fashion that no longer be ignored.
A raving outcome of modern jewelry is the domain of kids’ jewelry. From kids’earrings that are tiny baubles of hearts, stars, tigers and fishes, or miniature representations of roses and magnolias to three lines of artificial diamonds line one on top of the other, every design is something made for young ones who love to accessorize their outfits. Also, kids’ jewelry has become one of the most creative modes of gifting. Be it your child’s first communion or her 13th birthday that will mark her journey into her teen years, a tiny little diamond is the perfect celebratory stance. The first pair of earrings for your baby girl is crucial and therefore select from semi-precious to precious stones to find her the perfect match for her tiny earlobes.

Jewelry is not restricted only to the fairer sex any longer. From ying yangs to neon rubber bracelets, from hemp necklaces to carved wooden pendants, boys are now models to flaunt the tiny messages these baubles let out. Metal pendants which have embossed graphic designs are the coolest addition to the list. Piercings that speak of dangling butterflies or star-crossed hearts are another way to express the growing voices.
The access to jewelry is for everyone. It just depends on how you choose to define yourself whether it is through metal or through diamonds; each piece of jewelry should define you.

Cultivating Hobbies in Kids.

In today's day and age life's taken the fastest paths available. Our lives are running by the clock continuously sometimes it's like 24 hours are not enough in a day, from morning to night we have got  things planned for us to do But by saying this this is not only for us but also for our children . Their lives have taken an even faster path then ours. Our kids lives have a plan from the moment they are born from their feeding time to there bath time, play time, sleeping time everything is decided. They start school so early in life like my daughter started her mother toddler program at the age of 8 months and since then has a charted plan for the day. Then ofcourse your playdates, never the less they are always there ! With this we have got all the new technologies like your iPads and all the great apps ,computers , smart phones with which these little babies are very savvy.

Seeing this shows us that we also need them to inculcate hobbies so that they enjoy their childhood and experience this time of their lives, because this innocent childhood never comes back.  Hobbies may vary from reading, painting, play dough, to even jewelry making. Stringing of beads not only is good to keep them occupied but also increases their motor skill. Making gorgeous stuff to then adorn themselves in is something I feel is a complete upper for them. Kids jewelry is something which makes these little angels feel good looking at the way their moms dress up they love copying the same . This jewelry defines them and creates their fashion statement 


Hobbies like reading or even browsing through pictures for our little ones is an excellent form of learning. Exploring with touch and feel books, sound books, pop up books not only amazes them but builds their curiosity to learn . With the sound books they gather the knowledge of which animal does what sounds, lives where, whether its a domestic or a wild animal. Building your child's cognitive skills is also very important painting and play dough do a great job in that field the touch, textures nd colors teach them a lot. So to say now in our daily charted out lives take out time for your little one to make their gorgeous kids jewelry paint draw and have a great time !

Kids will be kids!

As grown ups, we understand the importance of things we buy, we are gifted and even things which we find. But as children, the things are slightly different. There may be times when kids take a lot of time and effort to understand the value of things. We are more than happy to give our kids the best of everything, but many times they lose the novelty of things very fast.
So it is very important that slowly but surely, we imbibe the values in them to appreciate things and gifts they get. So many times it happens that on their birthday or maybe just like that, grandparents or close friends get them new toys or a pair of kids earrings or something new, and they forget the toy bought for them maybe just a week back. Kids will always be kids and we cannot expect them to have the kind of maturity adults do.
So the best thing to do is to teach them the effort taken to procure these gifts or toys and to make them in many ways relate to the article. If it is something cute like a cute kids pendant with a animal design and a matching box or a racing car with a remote control or something on those lines, it will hold the importance in their eyes, if we sit them and discuss the products, make a story around it or play with them with the toy.
So in the end, it is just a game of luck, if the gift or items of value stick by them and they give it importance, but we as parents must keep trying new innovative ways for them to do so.

Most Important Hygiene Issues for Kids!

As parents, we would like to take care of our little ones throughout the day. Check on the tiniest of things they touch, they put in their mouths innocently and also people they are in contact with. As humans, it is not physical and mentally possible to track everything our kids do throughout the day.

So the best idea is to imbibe some basic hygiene and precaution principles in our little ones as soon as possible.As soon as our kids are about six months old, they can pick up habits, traits and patterns from their parents. The best thing to do would be to set the correct examples for them. Like the smallest yet important things would be not throw things around, not to raise our voices in front of them, not to pick noses in front of them, which can also become a habit.

Also as parents, we can take basic care like change of diapers at regular intervals, fresh set of clothes after the kids have gone out to play and wiping of hands and feet regularly when they are in contact with walls and floors, which is inevitable.

Also some others things should be taken care of like not to leave small size articles around them, use baby soaps and other products to clean their clothes. As parents, specially being mothers, the tasks may never seem to end- but the important thing is we can be sure our kids are clean, healthy and smiling always.
Also another important thing to keep in mind is to regularly keep their accessories clean and change them frequently. Items like earrings for kids can accumulate dust over the period of time, if not taken off occasionally and cleaned thoroughly. Also we should keep in mind, materials and metals our kids come in touch with. Kids jewelry should always be purchased after checking that they do not contain lead, cadmium and other harmful materials.

Best bet would be to make them wear sterling silver or gold jewelry for kids, which is available in multiple options in stores as well as online. Even gold plated earrings and pendants would do, making them affordable but after making sure that the metal beneath is not harmful for our angels.

Being a mother!

Being a mother is just a lovely feeling. The joy of having a baby changed my life, but the actual change is when your baby starts growing up and you realize being a women is one thing  but one when you have a baby it's being a mother that gives u so much meaning in life. The love that you feel towards your child is something that is so pure and meaningful. The patience that you learn, learn to have the time for your child and yourself at the same time- only a mother can do for her baby.

Their constant need for having you around. To see u putting them to sleep and being there smiling when they wake up. When they start walking they need you to hold there hand . Being there to keep them feeling secure that their mother is always around for them. This need to want you makes you feel even more special .



Then their little demands that keep increasing as each passing day from toys, books, clothes to even matching jewelry.

Emotional Networking for Parenting.

Parenting is not an easy task. It is adapting a new lifestyle, a new routine to the day and a whole new bunch of responsibilities. In the current pace of life, the day might just end at a single wink and still tasks to be accomplished. We have all been on the social side of the online world. Have all decorated the social garden of our egos and our accomplishments and how good as parents we can be.

Sharing a few or many or thousands of cute baby pictures, how our babies eat,drink milk or sleep oh so cutely!, might get us the attention to divert our minds temporarily off the bigger picture- the emotional needs of parents, mainly mothers. How does a typical working mother or a housewife with kids start her day? Get up in the morning, make a schedule in the mind about the kids breakfast, school, lunch, snacks and dinner. Also in between comes the added extra activities we enroll our kids in, the homework, the classes and of course them sleeping on time.

Ever wondered, how as a global chain of parents, we can all come together to guide and advice each other about the easing of life? Letsmote.com is an anonymous emotional networking platform launched with the vision to let users express their emotions, their feelings and connect with others feeling the same way in total anonymity. Over the period of time, we can analyze the reports offered to users to track our emotions, see the reasons behind them and also check the actions we took on the basis of these emotions. Connecting with soul friends can be of great help to create a global chain of humans feeling the way they do and wanting to overcome these patterns.




Also there are experts from various fields to connect with, if we need the guidance and tips for anything which might be holding us back- be it a simple issues like weight loss, a bigger one like parenting tips or a grave one like death of a dear one.These experts help in our effective journey of self realization and self growth. From the parenting aspect, just visualize a "circle of trust" of all parents anonymously discussing the issues they face, the emotions they feel and the ways in which they resolve those issues. Can we get insights, solutions and answers to the simplest and most complex questions as parents from other parents, their experiences and through parenting experts all over the world for many issues we face?

Let's take time off from decorating our social walls and connect emotionally, because it is a simple truth of life that- "Delve within before looking around and the whole perspective might change".

Kids Demands- Fast Growing and Fast Chnaging

Today in the fast paced world with rapid changes for almost everything, we have to really be up to the mark to keep pace. Be it technology, variety in products, fashion world, latest cars and luxuries or anything, the change is inevitable and at the blink of the eye. Fashion especially fades, ringing in the next hero almost every week. We are adapting and adapting fast. Be it in our lifestyles, our work profile or our socializing, we see how fast we are adapting.

Today the fast change of taste is evident even in kids. They are no longer intrigued by things for a long time and lose novelty of the best of things very fast. As parents, we have to become smarter in our judgement of how to put across things and which things to put across.

Even things like clothes and jewelry do not hold their novelty in the eyes of kids for long. So we as parents need to take a call, about our budgets and spending on each of these items. A simple pair of diamond earrings might cost a bomb but pose it's novelty very fast. Do we want to encourage our children to demand new diamond earrings every month and think it is worth the investment. Simple replacements like sterling silver earrings with cute designs like the elephant, butterfly or flowers can make them equally joyful. So we should look into articles like kids silver rings, kids gold plated earrings and even cute kids pendants with gold polish and the best part is- all these kids jewelry products come in very cute designs and colors.
