Even if you usually tell people that personalized jewelry is not your thing it is okay to admit that you like the stuff.

Father's Day is not typically associated with giving or getting personalized jewelry. Obviously that doesn't mean that you can't give any. Men do wear jewelry too!

Using a child's name as well as a parent's name on a piece of jewelry is a good idea on parental celebration holidays. A tie is not your only option here. Personal gifts and meaningful gifts are better options!

A personified gift will never become obsolete. Gifts such as these are well received regardless of what is on them. About any sort of gift can have someone's name added to it. Jewelry has become far less expensive to personalize than in past years.
