Sometimes a gift can be well made, beautiful, meaningful, and cherished…. and sometimes they can be all that and much more. Recently, I had the pleasure of learning more about an amazing company, doing amazing things, creating amazing gifts.

The Gratitude Circle

The story behind this inspirational brand begins with Deanna Collins, co-founder of JDDesigns. Deanna has made it her mission to spread the powerful message of gratefulness and the beauty which it brings. In doing this, she has designed and created gorgeous pieces of jewelry that are bursting with character, inspiration, and love.

Their Signature Gratitude Bracelet is really what began it all. A hand-crafted piece of wearable art that truly represents the soul of this company. This bracelet is crafted from Kenya’s Signature Beads, by Kenyan women.

“Situated on what was once a part of Karen von Blixen’s (of ‘Out of Africa’ fame) coffee plantation there is now a small workshop where ceramic beads are made by Kenyan women.” Taking Gratitude full circle, this company ensures that each bead purchased contributes to the growth of the Kazuri operation outside Nairobi, Kenya, where the opportunity of employment has transformed the lives of hundreds of Kenyan women.

From artisan hand crafted beaded jewelry, to signature Gratitude Apparel, this company is reminding us to be grateful and really feel what that means. Their tagline “Feel it. Wear it.” captures their intentions.

If you are looking for a meaningful and beautiful gift for that special woman in your life, look no further than The Gratitude Circle. Not only do their unique items make perfect holiday gifts, but their message of gratitude and love make their items perfect for any gifting occasion.
