Do you have a budding little artist on your hands and are looking for a new way to preserve or display your child’s artwork? Maybe you are looking for a way to commemorate your child’s birth. Or maybe you just need an excuse to buy some really cute new jewelry. If you were nodding your head to any or all of those then you need to check out my new favorite jewelry shop — Mommy Tags!

Mommy Tags offers amazing personalized silver jewelry handcrafted in the US. But what sets Mommy Tags apart from the many other jewelry shops out there? Well, Mommy Tags are unique in the fact that the silver they use is recycled from film processing! Isn’t that amazing? Jewelry from film!

One of my favorite pieces from the Mommy Tags collection are the Doodle Tags. The Doodle Tag is an adorable way to take your child’s artwork and preserve it in a 1 inch circle charm. And, because the charm is made from recycled silver, the circle isn’t perfect…a lot like my daughter’s art. I think that is one of my favorite parts, it gives the piece even more character!!!

Creating a Doodle Tag is really simple: first, choose the artwork you want to preserve (it works best if done in black Sharpie pen); then scan the artwork and send it off to Mommy Tags! Here’s the drawing my daughter did:

And this is my Doodle Tag:

Isn’t it great?! I absolutely love it! And my daughter loves the rubber stamp that is included with the Doodle Tag. That’s right, not only do you get the charm of your child’s artwork but the artwork is also made into a wood mounted rubber stamp!!! My daughter loves using this stamp of her very own artwork to decorate cards and pictures.

Let me clarify, contrary to what the name implies, Mommy Tags offers much more than jewelry for just mom! Mommy Tags has tags for your child (Tot Tags), your pet (Wagg Tags), and men (Daddy Tags). All of these tags, including the Circle of Love Tag and the Remembrance Tags, would make very special and personal gifts for your loved ones this holiday season and all year-round!!!

We want to give you a chance to get your hands on one of these amazing Mommy Tags…ok, maybe a few tags! We are giving away a $250 gift certificate to Mommy Tags! $250!!! You could certainly bless a few loved ones with personalized tags this year if you won! Mommy Tags is also generously donating another $150 gift certificate to our Under the Tree program this year!

And the giving just keeps on coming — Mommy Tags, in celebration of their 5th year in business, is offering customers a 5% discount on their orders along with a free silver cleaning cloth. Simply enter “fiveyears” in the discount coupon code section when checking-out.
