Yes, it’s a Hallmark holiday, but if Valentine’s Day effectively inspires your need for special gift-giving, we know you hate to be trite about it…
   

That’s why we were struck by the idea of jewelry made from your children’s artwork…

What could be a more lovely and sentimental gift for your spouse (or, a gift for him to give to you, with a little helpful hinting), than these original wearable pieces from designer Jennifer Bunt of Magic Dog Studio. Inspired by her own daughters’ artwork, Bunt honed her craft to become a master silversmith and now applies it to create these lasting works of (their) art.

You can simply scan a copy of a favorite drawing and email it to her (size of the artwork does not matter, but Bunt says that clear, simple drawings work best). Then it can be transformed into cufflinks, tie tacs, keychains, pins, charms and pendants. More than one child’s artwork to use? There is a great Family Necklace (shown) that incorporates multiple drawings. Another option is to take your child’s thumbprints, handprints, or footprints, and Magic Dog can turn them into great wearable pieces as well.

Prices for these original works range from $75 for a charm to $140 for a family necklace, plus shipping. However, if you order now, you can use the code EMOMSFRSHIP and ground shipping is free through February, just for Executive Moms members.
