Wife (no pics) has said she wants a "floating locket" for Christmas, that I should search "Etsy" for it, and she wants some "charms" preferably "Disney charms".

So I went to this Etsy website and found about 17,000 different floating lockets from about 5,000 different sellers, and a bunch of chains, and an inordinate amount of charms. All of this stuff seems real cheap.

Anyone else bought these things for the lady in his life? Apparently you can swap out the little charms inside the locket. I'd rather not buy 15 different things from 15 different vendors, so if there is a one stop place I can just buy a bunch of this stuff, that would be great.

Or, if there is a place in NOLA that sells this stuff, I could just go and get it.

35 and a well respected educator. Who has been to Disney World, Disney Land, Disney Cruise, etc combined at least 30 times in her life.

Obsessed...

She told me the same thing. We need to coordinate our gift to her. You get the locket and I'll get the charms.

Wait, your wife wants one of those cheesy necklaces with the shite floating in it? Two thoughts:

A) They're easy to find and cheap, so that's good.

B) Your wife likes something created for preteen girls, so sorry about that.

I'm pretty sure Origami Owl is the biggest player in the "floating locket" space, FYI.

Got it. As someone else has pointed out, looks like you're getting off relatively cheaply, so that's good.

And I'm no Disney hater, by the way. I've been several times and enjoyed myself. I just never understood the memorabilia obsession.

I would imagine any fine jeweler would carry it. Try Wal Mart.

Yeah, it looks like a decent chain and the locket thingy can be had for 20 bucks, and the charms are a couple of bucks each, but you I guess put more than one in the locket at a time?

I'm thinking 20 bucks for the locket and chain and maybe 60 bucks of charms which would be like 30 charms and we should be good.

So that's what Origami Owl is... ok... I thought it was like Oragami stuff like the paper folding thing. LOL. I think a few female friends are pushing that crap on facebook, I'll reach out to them.

Me neither, but she already has tons of picture books, and tons of pins, so I guess this is the next thing?

I blame her mother. That is like the only place they went on family vacations, and they went usually at least once a year.

Before I met her I went 3 times in the first 20-something years of my life... once with the fam when I was a kid, once in high school for a baseball tournament, and once as an adult for a conference.

Sounds like your wife is young at heart & isn't asking for a Mercedes.

Shake the haters and count your blessings
