    New Mommies need to get a gift like I just gave..Baby Jingle anklets!

    Want to talk about amazing baby shower gifts?  I heard about these sterling silver anklets with bells, a couple years ago, because Angelina Jolie had a set of them on Maddox. 

    Turns out it is a Cambodian Mommas tradition for centuries. Twofold:  1. The tiny bells act as an alarm to Mom, so she knows the baby / toddler is on the move, or into mischief. Second, they believe that the bells and the purity of the sterling silver would ward off bad spirits. You can get them (along with a free gift package) here.

     I was like a rock star on Sunday at the shower...it seemed like people freaked out in happy joy when they saw them. They are really the cutest gift you could give at a shower. Cool

    Juice, I SOOOO remember that image of Maddox with those anklets! What a unique shower idea. (I'd think they'd be great for those "crawlers!")

    Sometimes it seems we fall back on the "stand-by" shower gifts, so I am always open to suggestions.

    Do you know what kind of safety tests have been run on them as far as the security of the bells remaining on the chain? Although truth told, I cannot image taking my eyes of a baby that teenie wearing something like that anyway!

    My niece is six (and no longer "pulling" at every berry-like orb) -- I'm wondering if they come big enough for her to wear? (Goodness knows, we need to know when she's on the move!)



    Namaste~~

    Hi!

     Yes, they are safe. They solder the bells on. You really have to see it, then you would know how solid they are made. Because they are on the ankles, the baby cannot get it in their mouth. I was worried about that as well. They would be great on crawlers!!!

    They do have many sizes actually. A Mommy and Me set too.!

    Have a great weekend!!! Nice to meet you.

    I'll let my sister-in-law know about them too! Good to know the solder aspect!
    Rumors are once again flying about Angelina Jolie being pregnant with twins (the same rumours flew when she was expecting Shiloh) --
    wonder if she'll be getting a set this go-round? Wink

    Namaste~~
