jewellery – today’s kids collectibles

When I was a teenager (and I still think that it wasn’t such a long time ago!), the collectible things that relatives would buy on special occasions were traditional designer candle holders and silver spoon sets – I guess to prepare young ladies for the big world and formal parties…Nowadays it seems that kids get jewellery, at least the current trend are sets like these Italian Nomination ones.

First it was miss A. and now Hugo and Celeste have joined the trend and they are loving their little bracelets. I think they are a great idea as one can buy a piece at the time from a collection of hundreds of pieces from flags to letters, zodiacs and hobbies to book characters. As you can see Hello Kitty has made her way to the girls bracelets already, whereas Hugo has a little Moomintroll. Oh how the times change!
