Gift giving is my love language! I love to give a thoughtful gift as much as I love to receive them!
When I was a little girl, my Aunt Marolyn would send me a special package on my birthday. I looked forward to this day all year! One year I received a fancy, frilly dress perfect for twirling. Another year it was a white, eyelet purse filled with girly treasures. Her gifts always made me feel so loved. My sweet aunt’s loving example helped me see the power of a thoughtful, sentimental gift.
There are many special occasions in life that merit a gift that is more sentimental than a shirt off the rack thrown into a box. When I say special occasions, I’m talking the big ones. Landmarks like birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduations or welcoming a new baby. Finding that perfect gift can sometimes be a challenge. Well today you are in luck! I’m sharing 5 sentimental gift ideas for any occasion!
These gifts won’t be tossed or donated in a short amount of time. Instead, these gifts will be treasured for years to come!
I’ve teamed up with the fabulous artist, Jay Strongwater, to give you some ideas to celebrate that special occasion! Jay believes in taking everyday objects and turning them into jewels! Sounds amazing right?! They are! His pieces are stunning beyond words. {This post contains affiliate links for your convenience.}

Who wouldn’t love a gorgeous tray to lay their favorite jewelry?
This exquisite white and gold butterfly tray would be perfect as a wedding gift or anniversary present.
It looks beautiful nestled on a marble tray in the bathroom as part of a little vignette or tucked on a nightstand.
The intricate butterfly is brushed with 18k gold making it a piece someone will cherish for a lifetime.
Give one of these stunning picture frames for any special occasion!
