Does anyone have an empty Pandora box?

The whole Pandora bracelet thing is lost on me....BTW.. I don't think they are particularly beautiful. Seems like a trend that will die soon enough and the bracelet will then be down valued. JMHO. :shrug:

I couldn't agree more! I think they're clunky & not really attractive either. The whole Pandora craze is lost on me, as well.

I don't like being hooked into the "subscription" aspect of having to buy the latest piece or next in the series, etc.

There's a gal at work who values herself very highly and loves to show off all the baubles and bling she buys or that her hubby buys for her. She takes great pride in the fact that she needs to have an inventory of her items for insurance. :bigwhoop: I think she must have a Pandora charm for every time her daughter blew her nose or something. :jet:

Meh.

I actually have a lot of jewelry left to me from my mother and made for or given to me by my grandfather, who was a Lapidarist. But - I wear 1 or 2 very simple, jewelry pieces all the time, as I'm just not a big accessory hound.

I too think they look like something you get out of a bubble gum machine and honestly believe the designer knows it too and is laughing his/her @ss off as suckers buy in to this craze. If TV didnt tell gals this is the new hotness is it REALLY be something someone would have picked out of all the beautiful things in a jewelers case?

To answer the OP- well, you see the answers- go to the dollar store and buy a pretty sparkly box and just give what you got. If she cries foul, your daughter, just play dumb. Most men wouldnt know the real deal without the wife circling it in the catalog. I wouldnt either- it all looks like junk to me- even if it came from a real jewelry store. (where they laugh as another sucker walks out)

Next bday get the real deal or use this time to turn your child around to understand that crap is crap and following the crowd is over rated.

Not really a good idea to be dishonest about it. What happens when she goes to school or meets up with her girl friends and they notice the bracelet is not a real Pandora's bracelet?

Tell her the truth. She'll still love you. :)

Your daughter has given you a chance to give her a wonderful gift. She may not totally like it now, but it may become more valuable as time goes on. You have a teachable moment. Perhaps you can give her your bracelet and explain that it was given in love. Tell her about your values and the realities and responsibility of being an adult. Discuss peer pressure and the character of those who live by the label. And so on. Don't want to preach, but this is a wonderful opportunity for you to be a responsible loving parent.

Good luck. I know this isn't easy.
