Any occasion, anywhere

A new baby cousin in Manhattan. Another new baby in Florida. A housewarming party the next town over.

So many gifts, so little time. Luckily, People's Pottery wraps gifts gorgeously and ships around the world.

With the unhurried, thoughtful assistance of People's Pottery staff, this blogger found two beautiful gifts from Reed & Barton: a Gingham Bear Picture Frame (in blue or pink) and a beautiful girl's jewelry box.

With the baby boy and baby girl checked off, it was time to turn my attention to a housewarming gift. So many choices lined the shelves. I was leaning toward these unique martini glasses...

...But in the end, I opted for the safest bet.

People's Pottery happily wrapped each gift for me. This free gift wrap is a life-saver. They handed me the gift certificate and sent off the baby gifts to the babes. I left with a spring in my step, and a huge sigh of relief, for all I had accomplished.

Big news: we are almost ready to unveil our new PINTEREST account! We're so excited to share more images of our offerings with you. Don't forget to follow us on Facebook...and of course, we hope to see you (in person!) at People's Pottery soon. Let us know what's on your holiday "wish list" and what you're enjoying now.

Three words to charm: Free. Pandora. Bracelet.

We're excited to tell you about the Biggest Pandora Event of the year: the September Free Bracelet Promotion. Starting next Thursday (Sept. 18) through Sunday, buying $100 or more of any Pandora jewelry entitles you to a free sterling silver Pandora clasp bracelet ($65 value), Pandora bangle bracelet ($65 value), or Pandora Essence bracelet ($60 value).

And here's motivation to jump-start your holiday shopping: spend $500 and receive a free sterling silver and 14k gold clasp bracelet ($325), or spend $3,000 (come on--we know your loved ones have been good this year!) for a free solid 14k gold bracelet, a value of $1,415 or more.

Call, email or stop this week to pre-order your bracelet and charms.

For inspiration on how to build a bracelet that captures your style and spirit, we asked our longtime Pandora-phile, Roberta Pheterson, to show us her favorite Pandora charms from People's Pottery.

Even one snapshot captures a rich cross-section of charms, from the Murano glass bead to the "Queen Bee" that a friend thought was perfect for her; to the delicate sterling "shoes" celebrating the birth of her grandchildren. And below is a breast-cancer awareness ribbon worn in honor of her sister.

With the launch of this free bracelet event, it's the PERFECT time to personalize your Pandora. We're on hand to help adorn your arm!
