I love Etsy, there's no other site quite like it! There are so many unique items for sale that you're sure to find the perfect gift for all of your friends and family, and for any occasion.

You can customise the zodiac sign, birthstone and name, and the four unique traits of the chosen zodiac will appear around the edges. This is such a unique and personal gift that you'll never see anyone else wearing the same piece! Handwriting Bracelet from Grace Personalized Image Courtesy of GracePersonalized on Etsy This is probably one of the most special gifts I have seen on Etsy. You can send a sample of handwriting of up to three words and have it turned into a bracelet. This is such a lovely and personal way to remember a loved one. The bracelet comes in silver, gold, and rose
