When that time of the year comes around once more and your friends and relatives buy you gifts, do you always get a number of gifts that you ‘re just indifferent about?  For example, at Christmas or your birthday, how do you react when you are given yet another scarf or so-so sweater or highly impractical pair of gloves?  Of course, you really need to be polite and thank the giver for their effort, even if it has taken very little creativity or real thought.  But it can be difficult to fake sincere pleasure, can’t it?

However, if you’re lucky enough to unwrap the packaging one day and find a small box containing a silver heart locket, you really can be sincere about the gratitude you feel because what you’ve just been presented with has some great uses and benefits, both short term and long term.  Here are just a few things that make it such an excellent gift, whether you’re a giver or a receiver:

• A memento: if it’s one of the silver heart lockets that open up and allows you to place a keepsake inside it, find a photograph of your loved one and keep it in there.  Another alternative that some owners choose is to keep a lock of hair belonging to their significant other as a way to feel close to them when they are apart.

• A message: if you’re the giver of the locket, have it engraved with a short loving message to demonstrate your affection for the lucky recipient.  Many local jewelry stores can accomplish this quickly and inexpensively.

• Match it with other jewelry: there are many different kinds of heart jewelry and it is quite easy to create lots of different looks by mixing and matching.  For example, a silver heart locket matched with sterling silver heart earrings would be an excellent choice for that high class dinner date.  And heart lockets teamed up with heart bracelets create a fashionable but professional look for business meetings.

• Matching up with your close female friends and relatives: what better way is there to bring you together than to wear a similar heart locket?  Present one to your mom, daughter or closest girlfriend.

• A family treasure: at the right time, handing on the locket to your daughter or granddaughter is a great way to continue family traditions.

So accept your new gift with joy (or hand it over with even greater joy if you’re the giver) and recognize that a silver heart locket conveys a special message so delightfully.
