merci maman review and giveaway

For Christmas I really wanted a Merci Maman bracelet (or two!)

and my lovely husband picked up on my (not so subtle) hints

and on Christmas morning I opened two orange boxes

containing two open disc bracelets.

One from my husband commemorating our wedding day

and another from my son commemorating his birth.

I loved them both straight away

and they have rarely been off of my wrist since.

The husband has been listening to my hinting again ever since we found out we were expecting

and I'm hoping I'll get to add another open disc bracelet to my arm when Splodge arrives.

So when the people at Merci Maman got in touch

to ask if I'd like to review their Liberty Bias bracelet

I was more than a little bit excited.

My existing two bracelets get worn day in, day out

but the Liberty bracelet was definitely more of a special bracelet

that I could wear when my other two were too casual

or I wanted something a bit more dainty or pretty.

I haven't been disappointed at all.

The Liberty bracelets are made with a beautiful piece of patterned ribbon

available in four different floral designs.

I have to say that picking was really tricky

as I pretty much wanted them all.

But I settled on the Fairford blue and grey pattern

because that was the most 'me'.

Next was choosing the charm and text that I wanted engraved.

Merci Maman's signature is their beautiful engraving

which in joined up handwriting style that I just adore.

I decided that I simply wanted my beautiful boy's name engraved onto the charm

and chose the simple and elegant star charm

because he is my little star after all.

But there is a wide variety of charms available

and you can choose what you want written on to it.

The bracelet arrived really quickly

and in the same orange box that I knew to expect.

It is gorgeous.

And I've worn it lots.

I expected for it to be a special occasion type of bracelet,
but I've found all sorts of excuses to wear it.

Trips to the shops have been special occasions.

Trips to the park have been special occasions.

It's just so pretty that I love wearing it whenever and wherever

and it has been much admired whenever I have.

And the fantastic news is

that Merci Maman are offering my lovely readers

the chance to to own their own Liberty Bias bracelet.

They are such dainty, beautiful little bracelets

and I'm thrilled to have been able to review one

and to be able to give one of my readers one too.
