Tiny blue boxes are so last season! A great alternative to traditionally favored gifts for females, is the gift wrapped donation to her favorite charity. After opening everything that she ever wanted from her SheWants profile, a shiny package that gives back would be the icing on the cake. Gifting with a purpose has become the new de rigueur for ladies of substance and class. Our favorite pick for your darling’s gifted donation is The Moyer Foundation, a non-profit founded in 2000 by MLB World Series winning All-Star pitcher Jamie Moyer and his wife Karen. Together they have raised over $20 million to help support more than 225 different programs that help children in distress. By keeping the broad mission of “helping children in distress”, they have been able to create and fund a number of unconventional organizations that help children in creative ways. They have created a number of day camps to help kids going through a variety of crises. Camp Erin helps children deal with bereavement and Camp Mariposa caters to children affected by addiction ensuring that they don’t repeat the cycle. The best part about the organization is that they seek out grassroots organizations that would otherwise be left with little or no financial support. One of these groups is First Place School, which helps homeless children learn, grow, and transition into a normal lifestyle. In 2008 they received the AFP award for outstanding philanthropic organization. Here at SheWants, we know that your benevolent beauties will appreciate the purpose behind the package. So after Breakfast at Tiffany’s, head to The Moyer Foundation for a donation gift wrapped in your astute knowledge of her generous heart.

Check out our favorite trends while visiting the JCK show in Las Vegas.  It is the jewelry industry’s premiere trade show and this years theme was LUXURY!

A favorite look in the sea of color in fashion is the black stones on black jewelry or white stones on black jewelry.  It’s sophisticated and exotic and its a new look for those looking for a change!  The metal can be black sterling silver or black rhodium plated white or yellow gold.

This is what it looks like in a finished piece of jewelry and can be found at Amazon.com:

This is another trend that caught the attention of many: The cuff bracelet.  Here it is in a white snake pattern with cubic zirconia trim and can be purchased at www.emitations.com

Our third and final favorite jewelry trend of this season is WATCHES!  From vintage to the modern white on white or pink on pink – time is of the essence!
