New York International Gift Fair -- It's a Wrap

When searching for the cool gifts for grandparents to give to their grandchildren the New York Gift Show is a must attend.  Toys are one thing to give as gifts, but if you have older grandchildren you also want to stay hip to the fashions.  You want to be ahead of the trends so you and your grandchild can be on the same page.  Here are some of our hot picks for 2004 from the show:

Table Manner Place Mats -- When your grandchildren come to your house are you worried about using your good placemats?   Do your grandkids slop their food all over the place.  I know my kids create havoc at my parents!  These great placemats are not only colorful and easy to clean but they teach table manners as well!  My daughter has been reading the everyday and picks which placemat she wants to use for the day based on the message. They retail for $19.95 and are available at neo-matter.com.

Lady Luck Jewelry -- Dia Kline an artist from Niwot, Colorado is the artist behind the vintage inspired jewelry at Lady Luck.  Her designs are affordable conversation pieces.  I wore one of her bracelets out to dinner and it was a show stopper.  Everyone asked me about it a question I was fully prepared to answer since Dia ships the story of the piece in the pouch it arrives in.  You can get yourself and your grandchild one and not break the bank and have stories to boot!  Some of her pieces include vintage Mah Jong tiles, dominos, dice, as well as a full line of faux vintage dice. Each piece is unique and distinctive.  They would make a perfect gift for an older granddaughter or daughter-in-law.  Another line that Dia has created is her Milagros line.  Dia uses original photographs and postcards from the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s to make memory charm.  She will also do special orders with personal heirloom photos making this jewelry a wearable family tree. For orders you can email dia@ladyluckjewelry.com, or call 720-352-8420 for prices. In stock items ship out within 1-2 business days. Visit her website to see her complete line.
