Summer Birthday Bash! Charm Factory Review & Giveaway

My daugher is turning 10 this year. She still asked for a few toys, but clothes and jewelry are starting to take precedence over toys and games. While it makes me a little sad that she is growing up so fast, its also fun to be able to share my love of fashion with her. For example, we had a really great time creating a custom charm bracelet for her from the Charm Factory.

This isn't the first time I worked with the Charm Factory. Back in February, I did a review and giveaway for one of their heart bracelets. But this was my first experience in getting to create a  bracelet.  I was really amazed at how many charms they have. We spent literally about two hours looking at all of them, and narrowing our choices down to the eight my daughter liked the best.  She was able to find something to represent almost every aspect of her life. A dolphin, which is her favorite animal, a Golden Retriever because that's her dog, the letter G for her name, a heart with her birthstone, even an I Love to Cook charm because she wants to be a chef. She had so much fun picking out charms and she really feels like she created this work of art. The process was simple and the website was very easy to navigate. The charms are in categories like animnals, intitials, symbols, etc. So it easy to find what your looking for.

My daughter ran to the mailbox every day until her bracelet arrived. It only took about a week which is pretty quick considering it has to be custom made.  She has worn it every day since. The charms are firmly attached with thick silver hoops so I don't have to worry about her loosing them in school. She loved showing off her bracelet and received lots of compliments from both her friends and her teachers.
