For me, it's an amazing piece of jewelry.  It's so special it's tucked away in the box I received it in. I rarely take it out, but when I do - there's such a rush of emotion.

The beloved pop-bead necklace (see below) was a gift handmade by one of my sons. It was presented in a box from Fauchon (from a much earlier romantic trip with my husband).

What makes it so special?  I can still hear and see my son explaining all of his choices (the heart for Valentine's Day, the bear because we all love teddy bears...) and I can see my husband standing behind him beaming. It's one of those moments where you feel great love and know how grateful you are for the people in your life.

Wondering about the amazing retro Bubble Gum machine rings on our Joyful Pink Jewelry Roll?  Also treasures from a memorable trip to the candy store with my grandmother.

What's your favorite present?
