Kaboodle Pendants

Don't Forget Your MOM!

2011-02-22T07:51:00.005-06:00

Mother's Day is May 8th...a custom pendant is a great gift for her special day.

Choose a favorite photo of your kids and make a pendant this year...she will treasure it forever.

Also, remember that old vintage photos that you have of family and friends make great pendant and ornaments.

One of our recent favorites is a picture taken in 1937 of her mom's siblings standing in the snow on the day her mother was born. The daughter had a special birthday pendant made for her mom's birthday with Happy Birthday Mom, January 24, 1937 on the back...such a wonderful and thoughtful gift.

So get out those old photos use your imagination and let us help you with the design.

We have added some new necklaces and chains to our inventory that are chunky and long and can be mixed together for a contemporary new look. We will be adding photos soon. Our beautiful crystal and silver bead link chains would be a great addition to your Mother's Day pendants.

Order early and get a 20% discount for Mother's Day - just mention code MothersDay2011 when you place your order. Deadline for discount orders is April 20th.

There is a hint of green in the garden - Spring is on it's way. Put the heavy coats back in storage and get out and enjoy mother nature.

Great Ideas for Holiday Giving!

2010-10-26T20:36:00.012-05:00

Great Christmas gift idea for husbands, Dads and Grandpas too.

Just in time for Christmas gifting for that one on your list that is sooo hard to buy for!!

We are making our key ring pendants more and more these days... custom photos of the kids and even the dogs are the most popular. The pendant on the key rings is usually about .75 x 1 inch in size. We can make it using any photo, just send it to us in .jpeg format and we'll do the rest.

We also have bookmarks, key fobs and photo cuff links... more options for checking names off your list.

Happy 4th of July

We have new pendants and necklaces!!!

2010-05-01T08:30:00.022-05:00

Spring has sprung and we are putting together new ideas for Kaboodle. New chains and necklaces, and several styles of glitter initials are a part of our Spring and Summer line. I'm posting pictures of a few of the pendants today and will have photos of the new necklaces soon.

We have created so many precious photo pendants for Mother's Day this year, and so enjoyed creating pendants for return customers with an updated photo...watching those angels grow. Photo pendants also make great gifts for that new baby, wedding showers, birthdays, that girlfriend get-together and of course a wonderful surprise for a visit to grandma's house.

College pendants for the graduate and pendants for the wedding party are the perfect gift solution and can be personalized.We are gearing up for fall with new sports pendants - the new round pendants with the players number or name are a great way to show your spirit at every game. Kaboodle works with many school and athletic organizations to design pendants that can be sold for fund raisers, just give us a call or email us to find out more.

Our web site is MOVING!!!!

2010-02-09T11:27:00.007-06:00

The ongoing trouble that we have had with the hosting service for our web site has reached new heights and we are moving the site!!! We are in the process of moving content at this time so please pardon the construction look of this blog until we can reconnect with the whole web site.

Take a look at the wonderful pendants on our blog and bear with us through this craziness.

Thank you for all the support and we look forward to working with you.

Crosses and Hearts

2010-02-04T18:02:00.012-06:00

These great Swarovski crystal crosses are selling as fast as we can make them and get them to the stores. We also have had a lot of people buying the "You Are Special" pendants with the rhinestone cross for those special friends at Valentine's.

Can't stop making hearts this year and we're crazy about the silver and black ones that we've done this last week, they are so classic that you can wear them all year...maybe we need a collection with these...hummm.

Valentine's is around the corner. If you need to get in touch with us be sure and use the email addresses on the contact page - once again...trouble with the kaboodle emails...we're moving the site this time. Thank you for your patience.

Welcome Phyliss!

2010-01-12T12:35:00.008-06:00

Old friendships are the best and I'm so happy to announce that a friend since childhood has joined the Kaboodle team. Phyliss Wilkinson will be taking care of all of our Kaboodle creativity in the Houston area. Give her a call with any questions or ideas that you have for pendants. Her number and email can be found on our contact page.

Don't forget that old or new photos make beautiful pendants. Dig around in that drawer or box and find an old wedding or 1st birthday photo and we will create a keepsake pendant for a one of a kind Valentine gift.

Welcome back to our blog!

2010-01-07T17:40:00.019-06:00

Our resolution this year is to use our blog to introduce you to new ideas and new pendants from Kaboodle. Merideth is hard at work being a lawyer again in New York City now so I'm learning - slowly - how to build and use the web site. With Valentine's right around the corner we would like you to see a few of the pendants that we have created but not posted on the site. If you see something you like or if one of them gives you an idea for a custom pendant please contact us, we would love to work with you.

Our tiny heart pendant is 5/8" x 7/8" and includes a Swarovski crystal dangle. Just give us the names or initials or a combination of both and we will create one for your sweetheart. Place your order soon for Valentine's gift giving.

We love these wonderful turquoise heart pendants! The hearts are glittered on a black embossed paper, perfect for Valentine's but wearable all year round.

A fantastic new find has enabled us to make round pendants without the fat heavy glass, they are just a little larger than 1.25". We have the glitter hearts on the black embossed and a few darling cupids.

As we create our spring line we have a new initial style that we have also been making into custom two initial pendants.

Check back for new pendants, we will be adding them to the blog as we create them. When I become a great web master you will see them posted on Kaboodlependants.com.
