Personalised Baby Bangles: Cherishing Moments, Creating Memories

Welcoming a newborn into the world is a joyous occasion filled with love and anticipation. As parents, we seek to surround our little ones with tokens of affection and cherished memories. Personalised baby bangles stand as a timeless symbol of this love, offering not just adornment, but a tangible representation of the bond between parent and child. In this article, we explore the significance of personalised baby bangles and why they make an exceptional choice for commemorating milestones and creating lasting memories.

The Sentimental Touch of Personalisation: What sets personalised baby bangles apart is the ability to imbue them with unique meaning. Engraving a baby’s name, birth date, or a special message onto the bangle elevates it from a mere accessory to a treasured keepsake. Every glance at the bangle serves as a reminder of the cherished moments shared with your little one, making it a meaningful addition to any jewellery collection.

Craftsmanship and Quality: When it comes to selecting jewellery for your baby, quality and craftsmanship are paramount. Personalised baby bangles crafted from premium materials such as sterling silver or gold not only ensure durability but also exude elegance. Opting for reputable jewellers known for their attention to detail guarantees a piece that is not only beautiful but safe for your baby to wear.

Milestone Markers: Babies grow and reach milestones at an astonishing pace, and each achievement deserves celebration. Personalised baby bangles serve as perfect markers for these milestones, whether it’s their first birthday, christening, or any other significant event. With each milestone, the bangle becomes a living memory, telling the story of your baby’s journey through infancy and beyond.

A Thoughtful Gift: Searching for the ideal gift for a baby shower or newborn can be challenging, but personalised baby bangles offer a thoughtful solution. By gifting a personalised bangle, you��re not only presenting a beautiful piece of jewellery but also a heartfelt gesture that will be treasured for years to come. It’s a gift that speaks volumes, expressing your love and best wishes for the new arrival and their family.

Passing Down Traditions: Personalised baby bangles have a timeless quality that transcends generations, making them ideal heirlooms to pass down from parent to child. As your baby grows into adulthood, the bangle becomes a link to their past, connecting them to their family history and the love that has always surrounded them.

Conclusion: In a world filled with fleeting trends, personalised baby bangles stand as enduring symbols of love, tradition, and cherished memories. From their sentimental value to their exquisite craftsmanship, these bangles encapsulate the essence of parenthood and the joy of welcoming a new life into the world. Whether as a gift or a keepsake for your own little one, a personalised baby bangle is more than just jewellery – it’s a testament to the enduring bond between parent and child.

Yesterday Winnies reception class did a 'Mothers Day Afternoon Tea' where the kids sang songs and we ate the jam, butter and scones they made. Even the butter was made into heart shapes 🥺

Winnie then presented me with her card and a daffodil with a note that said "I love my mummy because she puts the Minecraft blanket on me" - which I thought was hilarious as it's the bare minimum requirement she loves apparently (tbf it was a new blanket 😂) but Oscars said (when he was in Reception) "I love my mum as she makes me sandwiches." These are definitely my children.

Such a lovely idea of the school, I always find things like Mothers Day or Valentines Day (or even Easter) to be a bit much and not just due to the epic commercialisation of it but I think because (sometimes) it all becomes just a big show (of course you can do what you want, it's cool, you do you) As a single parent, my perspective will be different, I don't get gifts off a husband - of course it's not about lavish gifts, but I guess days like that just remind me I'm on my own (which I'm fine with now but just reminds me, if that makes sense) I will add that although how people interpret what I write isn't of my control but I'm aware people who have husbands don't all get lavish gifts, we also don't know what's behind closed doors and I will always respect and acknowledge that.

Little things like this I find so endearing.

Mothers Day can be a difficult day for many and I know I'm blessed to have 3 healthy children and (so cliché of me) I'm blessed they are in good health and they changed my life for the better (double sorry, that was horrendous) as without them I don't know where I'd be. I know my life is mundane to many, I don't travel, I don't go out, I haven't any career goals but each day is a new challenge with 3 children who are so entirely different in their ways. My eldest and I have been through alot, she's had her losses same as I and she's independent and stubborn. My middle child is my mamas boy, he's bright and kind. My youngest is my little 'princess' she's caring and creative.

I don't know what the future will hold, I never have known. Since being a teenager it felt like one drama after the next, things changed alot but all I know is - despite how messy my life looks to others - I'm fortunate.

can't stop thinking of domestic ghost learning how to crochet after he sees you practicing, large scarred, battle worn hands working away with a crochet hook and wool; not missing the way your eyes go fond as he joins you on the couch to crochet by your side. trying to suppress your giggle at the soft sounds of his frustrated grunts when he tries (and fails) to tie the slip knot for the 5th time in a row before he turns to you with a blank expression, arms extended in your direction.

what starts as slowly mastering little granny squares quickly evolves into working on whole projects; clothes, hats, face masks, stuffed animals. your house slowly fills up with both yours and his creations. although it's something you mostly do together, it wouldn't be uncommon for you to come downstairs as the sun rises only to find Simon hunched over a ball of wool, clearly awoken from a night of terrors and craving comfort from the repetition that crocheting provides.

he'd inevitably have to leave for deployment, but not without laying out a new cardigan he'd made just for you (a way he can keep you warm despite the thousands of miles that might separate you) or a little crocheted plush of himself, fitted with its very own little mask; even giving you the option of dressing it in either combat gear or his go to black hoodie and jeans. it leaves you teary every time, clutching his new creation to your chest and nuzzling the soft wool into your cheek, always knowing that his hands were made for more than just war and death.

and if the day comes you finally bring a child into the world, you better believe he's making them an entire wardrobe that matches the clothes he's already made for the two of you; holding the completed tiny garments up whilst you try your absolute hardest to not burst into tears at how small they look, knowing they're so lucky to have a dad who's going to love them so, so much.

Vaggie keeps every gift Charlie ever gave her. She got her gloves and stockings from Charlie. She puts the canible town key chain in every bag she uses. That choker she always wears? Charlie bought it for her. That red blouse is the one Charlie got her when they opened the hotel, so she could match her suits. Charlie gave her a teddy bear, and Vaggie poses it doing different things every morning in the bed. Even when Charlie gets her chocolates, she keeps the boxes.

[deerspherestudios]

What would be a good gift for Mycheal? I know he considers rice a treat and reads books. Would he want food or new books? WHAT DOES THE PRETTY BOY LIKE??? 👀

Since it's the holidays I thought this ask would be appropriate! ::-D

He'd appreciate literally anything you give him. Whether it be food, clothes, toys, silly little knickknacks - he's never had anyone give him something intended as a gift. Normally people give him stuff out of pity or they were forced to.

I think he'd love fun, silly, useless things best, if that makes sense! He can get his own groceries or clothes, but he wouldn't think to get something ridiculous/unnecessary like a family of garden gnomes, or clown noses, or perhaps a giant stack of origami paper for example.

He'd be thrilled to have it just for the sake of it being a fun surprise haha. (And knowing it's from you makes it better!)

[aventurineswife]

hi hellooooo ive never sent in a request to anyone before so i hope im doing this right but i rlly love ur writing and ur works so i wanted to approach u with my little idea and see ur take on it :)

how do you think aventurine and ratio would go about celebrating their anniversary with their partner? would it be through nice gifts, something more heartfelt, or maybe spending the day alone with them? rlly interested to see what you think !! again i really love your writing and would love to see your ideas :) might start requesting things regularly if i have any more ideas heheh

Surprise Anniversary! <3

Tags: Aventurine x Reader, Ratio x Reader, Anniversary Celebration, Fluff, Romantic Gestures, Personalized Gifts, Sentimental Moments, Playful Love (Aventurine), Intellectual Love (Ratio), Domestic Bliss, Light Angst (Healing Undertones).

Warnings: Mild emotional vulnerability, Implied deep emotional scars (Aventurine), Mention of intellectual themes (Ratio).

A/N: Writing this after a married ratio fic, honestly fits so well 🤭

The moment Aventurine woke up, his eyes glittered with mischief as he smiled at you. "Darling," he purred, brushing a lock of hair from his face, "you didn’t think I’d forget today, did you?"

Aventurine lived for the grandiose, and your anniversary was no exception. The day began with an invitation—a card sealed with golden wax, summoning you to a private casino event he'd arranged. When you arrived, the room was aglow with golden chandeliers, and every surface sparkled with decadent decor that screamed luxury and sophistication. At the center of it all, Aventurine waited, dressed impeccably in his fancy roulette-themed attire, his peacock feather earring catching the light.

The event was filled with games tailored to your shared memories. One table featured trivia about your relationship, where every correct answer granted a custom prize he had designed just for you—tokens of love disguised as chips that he playfully wagered throughout the day.

“You always keep me on my toes, my love.” you teased as he presented you with the final gift: a heart-shaped roulette wheel, spinning with vibrant gemstones. Each gem, he explained, symbolized a significant moment in your relationship.

Finally, the two of you ended the day alone on a balcony overlooking the city. Aventurine, ever the charmer, held your hand and whispered, “Life’s a gamble, my darling, but betting on us has always been my safest wager.” The sincerity in his voice melted through his playful façade, and he kissed you under a canopy of stars.

Ratio wasn’t one for extravagant displays, but his anniversary plans were no less profound. When you woke up, you found a small, handwritten note on your bedside table:

"Meet me in the study at noon. - V."

The study, one of his favorite places, had been transformed. Bookshelves that usually housed tomes of academic knowledge now displayed mementos from your time together—ticket stubs, photographs, and little trinkets he had quietly preserved over the years. A large chalkboard stood at the center, covered in meticulously written equations. As you approached, you realized it wasn’t math—it was a timeline of your relationship, each formula symbolizing a shared moment.

Ratio stood nearby, his hair swept to one side, his alabaster sculpture absent to reveal his face fully. “I thought it was time to teach you something,” he said with a rare softness in his tone. “An equation I can’t solve alone.”

He handed you a piece of chalk and invited you to complete the final step. Together, you wrote an expression symbolizing your future—a life shared, balanced, and ever-growing. Ratio’s eyes glimmered with emotion as he said, “This is the only theorem that matters to me.”

To end the day, Ratio surprised you with a private dinner, the table surrounded by projections of your favorite constellations. As you dined, he spoke of his admiration for your support and how you inspired him to push beyond his self-imposed boundaries. “You’ve always been my muse.” he confessed, his voice steady but filled with unspoken gratitude.

As the evening came to a close, Ratio gifted you a bracelet adorned with tiny owl charms, symbolizing wisdom and protection. “So that no matter where I am,” he explained, “a part of me is always guiding you.”

A redraw of the group photo from the Nether hopping arc! I wanted to get in more practice drawing the characters in this specific style, and also see if I can fix some issues with their designs that were bugging me. I... mostly succeeded on that 2nd part?

Some notes regarding these CG designs (plus some headcannons):

-Red's outfit frustrates me, because I like it a lot without colour, but once I start trying to add colour it always ends up looking off. The current colour scheme is fine, I guess, but I'm a little torn on whether or not the colours suit Red, and not making him too close to the other colour schemes present (which I like a lot more).

-Red's outfits will often have animal motifs designed into them. Usually cat, rabbit, or pig, but they have all sorts of animal clothes.

-Though it can't usually be seen due to not drawing them with their hood up often, Red's hoodie has cat ears. The reason I don't usually draw the hood up is because I like drawing his hair too much.

-Red will alternate between gloves, bracelets, and, post AVM season 3, a yellow headband and armbands.

-Under the hoodie Red will usually wear a tank top or crop top. Though it can't be seen in this photo, the arm holes for the hoodie are incredibly large, so Red's top can sometimes be seen when lifting her arms or looking at them from the side.

-In general, I do like Yellow's outfit. It suits her personality well and has some good colours. My primary concern is that it may be too... plain? Stereotypical? Basically, that it's too stereotypically 'nerd' to be interesting. But I can't come up with anything better, so this'll be her default outfit for now.

-What I do like on Yellow, however, is the hair. I think the short hair with a singular braid is really cool. A nice mix of neat and practical and stylish, especially mixed with the glasses.

-One issue I do have is with the boots. All the shoes in general, actually. They all look so samey, especially Blue and Yellow's boots. This is a pretty simplistic style I'm drawing in though, and I don't want to make anything too complicated. Why do shoes have to be so stupid?

-I used to have the same problem with Second's outfit as with Red's - particularly, with their shirt. However, that's when I realized that Second is an artist, and can change their shirt design at the drop of a hat. So, now the shirt has a different drawing on it regularly. Second will try to use all their friends colours in their designs. If they leave a person off, it usually means their either consciously or subconsciously upset with that stick. If they don't draw on their shirt at all and leave it blank, it usually means something's up with them.

-I also added leggings from the previous design. It felt right.

-Both Second and Chosen dislike shoes. I will not elaborate, but Second's tolerance is better than Chosen. He can handle it for short periods of time, but is usually grumpy and will kick them off first chance he gets.

-I like to imagine Second using her large, poofy hair to put things in, the same way she'd put things in their inventory. I also like to imagine Green is low-key horrified by this, while Red, Blue, and Yellow will also use her fluff to store things. Sometimes without Second even noticing.

-Second carries the belt with them in their hair in their inventory and will put it on before fighting/platforming so their oversized shirt doesn't get in their way. Otherwise they prefer to have their clothing loose and flowing.

-Everyone has a multicoloured accessory. Second was the one who started it with his bracelet, then the others wanted some too so Second drew up more for the gang. An anklet for Red, an armband for Yellow, a belt for Green, and a neckerchief for Blue.

-Green may just have the best outfit of everyone here. It's sleek, it's cool, it suits them, and it's easy to fight in (with an easily striped jacket if need be). I also added a lil choker.

-I don't think I expressed this before, but I didn't like Green's previous hairstyle. Something about it irked me, but I couldn't place what at the time. Now I know it'd needed more on top, haha.

-Blue's outfits tend to be more on the practical side, since they do a lot of manual labour, but with bits of fun and whimsy added in. After AvM Season 3, she trades her funny socks for long funny socks and fun stockings.

-The original intent was for everyone to have a different type of hair, but Blue's and Yellow's ended up a lot more similar than I'd hope. The idea was for Blue to have really thick hair, but it's hard to tell. Might think of something else later.

-Anyone who wants something different can go to Second and ask. They all have their own things they like, but they're all willing to try almost anything, with very little exception.

Feel free to let me know your thoughts. I think I really like these character designs I came up with. :)

━ malleus draconia x gn! reader (reader can be yuu and/or your oc) ━ it was malleus' birthday and you planned to surprise him with a gift you've made with your own hands. (f/n means first name)

this work may contain spoilers for chapter 7, diasomnia’s arc.

do not steal or translate without my permission.

it was another hectic day for malleus. though he was not in the briar valley palace being overwhelmed with plans for his birthday, he was still busy in night raven college. lilia was in the room with him, smiling at the fae as he greeted, “happy birthday, malleus! come, the guests await.”

the diasomnia dormitory head followed his guardian’s request, trailing behind him as they both went to the lounge. the celebration was splendid, to say the least. he received gifts and was greeted by students he never personally interacted with before – though they were steps away from him while delivering their greetings.

the platinum outfit he wore for this year’s birthday theme made him stand out – quite so, as he is the birthday boy. the interview was something he enjoyed as well; having deuce as his interviewer made it even more pleasant.

 the celebration was nearing its end, and while he was grateful, he cannot help but feel as if something is missing. his eyes wandered around the lounge, looking for a certain person but to no avail. lilia, who stood beside him, intuitively knew who he was looking for, merely smiling, and not saying anything.

once the celebration ended, the rest of the guests returned to their respective rooms and dorms, leaving only lilia, silver, and sebek in the lounge with malleus, sorting through the gifts. while doing so, the young fae’s gaze landed on a green envelope, opening the letter as he did not recall who handed it to him.

‘to my dearest,

pleasant salutations, my love. today marks the day of your birth, and i am more than happy to wish you a happy birthday. thank you for the beautiful memories you have made with me, and i hope we can continue to make more memories together.

you might wonder about my whereabouts throughout the whole party. in all honesty, i was preparing your gift. once you have received this letter, it is time for you to take a moment to indulge in my present made for you and only you.

let us put you to a test. search for an item that fits the description i underlined. good luck!

amongst the thorny bushes, i remain bright and romantic.

forever yours, f/n l/n’

a smile ghosted over malleus’ lips, chuckling to himself as he was intrigued by your behaviour. you would go as far as putting him to a test and sending him out on a scavenger hunt, searching for objects with nothing but riddles as a clue.

“how amusing,” spoke malleus with that amused smile on his face, “quite creative, however.” lilia peeked at the letter before chuckling and gently patting his shoulder, “what are you waiting for? time is ticking!”

and with that, malleus went around the dormitory in search of something that stayed bright and romantic amongst the thorny bushes. he has gotten his first clue. thorny bushes must mean the location is in the garden of diasomnia, no? however, they do have flower bushes and whatnot, so what exactly is he supposed to find?

still, he went to the dormitory garden, eyeing all the colourful bushes before his eyes landed on the thorn bushes nearby. nothing seemed out of place, but as he stepped closer, a glowing red rose hid within the bush.

“ah, is this the item i’m supposed to find?” mumbled malleus as he quickly grabbed the rose, the thorns not pricking him as he used his magic to avoid damage. upon contact, the rose glowed even more before disappearing into thin air, and what came in replacement was a quick reveal of the words, ‘turn around.’

and so, he did. the young fae turned around with a puzzled expression before his eyes landed on you standing there with a smile. how did he not notice you? surely, he could have heard your footsteps, no? his puzzled expression morphed into a shocked one before he smiled at you, noticing your arms tucked behind you as if you were hiding something.

“and what are you hiding, dearest?” asked the male with a smug smile.

“oh, nothing~” you replied, “close your eyes.”

malleus raised a brow, eyeing you for a moment before complying with your request, closing his eyes without another word as he waited for your action. he heard a soft twinkle as you spoke, “okay, you can open them…”

once he opened his eyes, you stood with your arms out, a snow globe rested on your palm as the miniature scenery had two dragons that look identical, but one seemed to be a baby dragon holding an ice cream cone. his eyes widened as you held it out to him with a shy smile, “i made this for you…”

made?

“made?” asked malleus. you nodded as you avoided his gaze, thinking he might not like it as you mumbled a response, “yes, i don’t have much to offer, but i am skilled with arts and crafts…” you eyed the snow globe again, shaking it a little to make it snow with a soft twinkle.

malleus smiled softly as he watched you shake the globe before gently grabbing it from you, looking at it closely as he realised the dragon looks like him. “a personalised snow globe… thank you, f/n…”

“happy birthday, malleus,” you greeted with a smile, the same smile that he had always loved, the same smile that brightened his lonely days, the same smile that greets him every morning. his eyes stayed on you as he looked at you like a lovestruck puppy, wishing for this moment to never end.

an eternity with you and those he holds dear is all that he asks for.

Albus giggling to himself as he walks away every time he does the iconic Slytherin "sneer and tch" to some random student. They're standing around, minding their own business, and suddenly out comes Albus looking at them like dirt on his shoe and tutting to himself, followed by a chuckle which he THINKS is quiet but really isn't.

Flowers from the moon

He stares into your eyes, searching them for any malicious intent. He’s pretty damn confused as he finds none. “Why have you summoned me here?” He asks, confused on your motive. You smile awkwardly at the white eyed man before you. “I…I was curious if you were real…” he raises his eyebrows in response, “of course I’m real.” He retorts, his eyes shine brightly in the twilight, they remind you of the moon, slowly peeking over the horizon.

  You find yourself inching closer to him, attempting to find a better angle. “What are you doing?” He asks as you approach him. He holds his ground as he stares at you expectantly. Your eyes are filled with wonder as you gaze into his milky, glowing eyes. “Your eyes are like the moon…” you whisper.

He’s taken aback by your compliment. No one has ever compared them to something so regal, so powerful, so… “beautiful…” you finish his thought aloud, and he smiles lightly. He stays quiet as you get close enough for a better view. “Wow…” you see how his eyes aren’t a perfect, blank white. He has pupils, and they are barely darker than his sclera.

He searches your eyes again, seeing your wonder and admiration for his eyes. “You’re an odd one.” He mumbles as he teleports away. You’re a bit disappointed when he leaves, but shrug it off as you head inside your humble cottage.

As time goes forward, you begin to see him more. He sometimes sits in the shadows of the trees, spying on you. You’ve seen him staring from the high ledges of cliffs, and the small tunnels in the large caverns. He seems to be everywhere, but you don’t mind. 

Eventually, he makes an unexpected move. He starts bringing you flowers, leaving them on your porch for you to find when you get home. You smile at his gesture, and leave small trinkets and treasures for him on the golden base of the shrine. He keeps everything you give him, and he makes sure its safe and that it won’t get ruined. 

This goes on for years. You two continue to go back and forth, as if you’re in some kind of game. The nearby villagers think you’re weird for doing this, but you don’t care. You enjoy the game.

Eventually, he gathers the courage to approach you again. He’s holding a small bunch of flowers in his large, rough hands. You’re just inside, reading a journal you found on a recent mining expedition, when you hear a soft knock on the door. “Now who could that be?” you narrate to yourself as you grip the door handle and open it. It’s him. He’s in his usual attire, the bright teal shirt and deep purple pants. 

Your eyes land on the bunch of flowers he’s holding. “These are for you..” He says, his voice dripping with embarrassment. A small smile finds your lips, and you meet his eyes. You take a step closer to him, rise to your tippy toes, and place a light kiss to his cheek. His stubble is prickly on your lips, but you don’t care. 

 “Thank you, Herobrine.”
