UPDATE! We have a winner! Go to the bottom of this post to see the lucky gal...
I mentioned Katie & Rachel of Charms City Company a few weeks ago, after I met them at Clover Market and they magically & immediately made jewelry from metal numbers that I sold to them. Well, they have graciously offered to give away a $25 gift certificate to a lucky freshvintage reader!
I love how they incorporate salvaged finds into their jewelry. They have lots of great gift ideas in their shop: typewriter key necklaces, wine charms made from Scrabble letters, and this brass ball locket:
What a nice gift this would be for a new mom (or an old one).
This Skeleton Key necklace with beads is another one of my favorites:
In addition to their online shop, Katie and Rachel also sell their vintage-inspired jewelry in several brick and mortar shops. Maybe there is one near you?
Just leave a comment below to be entered in the giveaway for a $25 gift certificate to Charms City Company. Let us know which product you would give as a gift this holiday season (to yourself or otherwise!). Be sure to include your email address or a link to your blog, so that I have a way to get in touch with you. You don't need to put your email address in the body of the comment. Only one entry per person, please.
The contest ends on Tuesday, November 29th at midnight EST. I'll randomly pick a winner and announce it on Wednesday, November 30th.
Thanks again to Katie and Rachel for this giveaway. And remember to support small businesses this holiday season!
Read the whole list of fresh gifts.
P.S. You can visit Charms City on Facebook, too.
UPDATE! We have a winner!

It would be hard to choose a favorite piece - they're all wonderful. The whale necklace is my favorite, but the bird and feather would be a great gift for my daughter.

I really love this series of posts. I am charmed by the whale necklace (for me, heh): http://www.etsy.com/listing/67515509/whale-necklace-brass

My daughter is going to grad school so I would give her the horse shoe necklace.

I actually just bought one of the skeleton key necklaces of theirs for a Christmas gift. I am really tempted to keep it because I love it! I'd love to win the gift cert so I can get my own!

Thanks for the chance to win. I would get the Compass Necklace - Traveler's Companion for my daughter who is living far away now, so she could always find her way home.

Adorable! I would pick the Harmonica Necklace. My grandfather used to play the harmonica. It would be a fun way to remember him!

I love the airplane necklace - my dad was in a B-24 bomber in WWII which that necklace reminds me of him. Or the deer necklace - just because we have to many pretty deer in our yard! Thanks for the offer/giveaway!

Love so many of these necklaces. I still wish I could purchase the ones they made from your tags. But really loving the necklaces with the vintage chandelier crystals.
