I won this bracelet through a draw after filling in an online reader survey for www.Mumsrock.com. (I fill in every reader survey on blogs/websites I read that I can find. It never takes more than 5-10 minutes, and you can win v lovely stuff.)
This is a personalised bracelet from Didouchka, sold in the UK through www.urbanmummy.co.uk. The picture is of Miss London, from her last year's school picture, in all her gappy-toothed, messy-haired glory. I did consider sending off a baby picture, but decided to go for a more recent one on the basis that it would have sent out a "The older you get, the cuter you ain't," kind of message that would only bring us therapy bills in the future. And she is still very very lovely.
These are £100 each, which seems expensive, but is less than a silver bracelet from Tiffany that doesn't come with a picture of your lovely baby on it. It's also less expensive than a tattooed portrait of your child (I'm saying nothing about the tastefulness of that particular currently fashionable trend.) It makes me smile every time I look at it, and if we ever do decide to breed small London #2, I will be dropping very heavy hints to Mr London that a similar bracelet will be expected.

Awww, that's SO cute! I just got a silk ribbon bracelet with a silver heart-shaped tag which I had inscribed with my boy's name, but now it seems a bit puny compared to yours!

Wow! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteAnd what does Miss London think to it?
Hi Anna - all keepsakes are special. I still have Miss London's first proper shoes in a box :)
ReplyDeleteHi Helen. She thinks anything with her face on it is cool :D
What a treasure. I love that Little Miss London can be with you all the time too. Great win.
ReplyDeleteHi Marcia - I'm really happy with it. How did she get so big so quickly though? :)
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely. I want one of those fingerprint charms done of Leila that I can attach to a bracelet... well, I did - before I saw this!
ReplyDeleteLipglossiping - oh a fingerprint charm sounds beautiful! We have a couple of prints from when Miss London's hands were all tiny and chubby-starfish-like, I love them so much. x
