remember when...

Remember when we were little and the greatest gift to give or receive from your best friend was one of the BFF necklaces? Those were the coolest thing ever to have. You would go to the mall with best friend, mom driving of course, and head directly to Claire's. Then standing in front in a huge wall packed full of what looks like junk today, you would agonize over which necklace was the perfect one that described your friendship. After a little while and rushing from your mom, you and your friends were ready to purchase your symbols of friendship with a combined savings of $4.99. Of course you have to wear the necklace out of the store (or it wouldn't be a true friendship) and never take it off, at least not until you acquired a green tinted ring around your neck where the chain lays.

Now-a-days expressing your friendship is not the same. But I have to admit I have recently received a friendship necklace in the mail from one of my bests and I absolutely love it. Dogeared.com is selling a necklace called "Pearls of...". You can pick which type of pearl you want to purchase. Pearls of... success, friendship, love, beauty, and happiness. Plus its not just a necklace, but it comes displayed with a write-up relating the pearl to the characteristic it symbolizes. So... if you're in the market to send a little happy that will brighten any day (even your own)... make sure you look this up for consideration. True you might have to fork over more than the $4.99 of yesterday, but guaranteed you friends neck will not change odd colors tomorrow.
