c/o Juliene Calambuhay (mother of debutante)

New Zealand

debut colors: purple & silver
materials:  crystals, faux pearls, metal components (cross, medallions)

Yes, Crystals and Beads has reached New Zealand, too! ☺  I'm super blessed that Ms. Juliene chose Crystals and Beads to do the party favors for her daughter's (Andrea) 18th birthday.  She had the party invites made from the Philippines, too, (I guess costs are higher in New Zealand, eh?)

Btw, I just had to mention this part: We were already exchanging emails when the Yolanda incident happened. Ms. Juliene & her family/friends held fund raisers and garage sale for the Yolanda victims.  It's always an honor to meet such a compassionate person; a 'kababayan' who looks back and does not hesitate to extend a helping hand. ☺

Back to the debut giveaways, in total, there were 110 rosary bracelets, 2 crystal rosaries, 6 faux pearl rosaries.  Though I had previous clients based in abroad as well, this was actually the first time that I had to have them shipped to the client via a carrier, so I was kinda anxious. 'Coz mostly, my clients had their weddings here in the Philippines or had their orders shipped to a friend/family here and have them carry it when they fly to attend their events. Fortunately, DHL was reliable and got the package safe and sound to New Zealand in a just a few days. ☺

To Ms. Juliene,
   Thank you very much! really happy to know that the souvenirs were a big hit on Andrea's debut. ☺ And thank you for the photos you sent! Glad to see actual photos from the event. ☺ Thank you for making me a part of your celebration, thank you for choosing Crystals and Beads! ☺

To Andrea,
   Hope you had a blast on your special day!  Wishing you the best that life can offer... May God continue to bless you and your family... ☺

Souvenir Bracelets

Thinking of a nice souvenir/favor to give to your guests or friends?  

something that won't be just a dust catcher later on & not the usual "display"? 

give them a nice bracelet that they can use ♥

Recently, a friend of mine had her daughter baptized.  Most of us -- her friends -- were asked to be Mia's ninangs & ninongs. To help out our friend, a few of us shouldered some of the things needed for the baptism of our inaanak -- cake, baptismal dress, invitation & souvenirs.  Me & another friend, shouldered the favors for the ninangs & ninongs.  Since all the godmothers & godfathers are youngsters (& the ninangs are kikays), we decided on souvenir bracelets ♥.  We wanted something simple yet pretty, so we decided on these designs (see below photos).  And so I made these pretty bracelets :)  And to make it more personalized, I incorporated the baby's name on the bracelets - MIA.  And also added a little cross to each, so as to represent baby Mia's baptism.

Crystals and Beads can make souvenir bracelets for you!  If you already have the design/s that you want for the bracelets, of course we'll try our best to make it happen :)  You are always welcome to share your ideas, & we're here to make those great ideas into a work of art ♥
