Selecting A Native American Gift For That Special Someone

By Daphne Bowen


You want to purchase a gift for a friend or family member who is interested in these artifacts. A native American gift can be indicative of a specific tribe or may just be an interesting and unique item. They are very easy to locate anywhere near reservations. These presents will be an interesting and unique way of showing your love and care for a specific individual who is a special person to you.

Purchase works of art such as dream catchers. They can be hung up all over one's home and mostly in the bedroom. They consist of amazing designs, and the stories and history behind them are fascinating. They can be purchased in a variety of colors, sizes, and designs. Tribe lore tells us that these dream catchers are meant to gather all of a person's dreams and trap the bad ones and the nightmares. Positive dreams are allowed to filter through and down the length of the feathers. The round hoop on this art work is a symbol of continuity and unity. You can even buy a kit for that special person so he or she will be able to make his or her own personal dream catcher.

Whether your recipients collect just Indian dolls or an assortment of dolls, the addition of one of these would make the variety well-rounded and much more interesting. Instead of fluffy dresses and dainty shoes, this individual would have dolls dressed in buckskin, beads, and moccasins. Select one that is representative of a tribe this person may be interested in or that his or her family may be descendants of.

You can also select a soft pair of handmade moccasins. They are a gift almost anyone can use both as casual shoes or comfy bedroom slippers. Select a pair with distinctive beading or fringe for more impact. Ask for the correct size before making a selection. These moccasins are so comfortable the recipient of your gift will never want to wear real shoes again.

There is also a wide variety of jewelry available for purchase. Look for those items made of turquoise, pewter, old coins, and even feathers. Bead work can be especially interesting as designs of specific tribes can be worked into the craftsmanship. Choose from earrings, headbands, barrettes, bracelets, rings, chokers and necklaces.

There are other bead work pieces that may be available for purchase. These may include book marks, coasters, knife sheaths, and belt buckles. They may be very colorful with intricate and tribal designs. There may also be kits available for those crafty and talented individuals.

Blankets also make sensible but unique presents. The designs featured can be matched with almost any home decor or color scheme. The blankets are very cozy and warm and make wonderful coverlets, wall hangings, runners, and throws.

Present any of these gifts to your special recipient and you know he or she will be very pleased with your thoughtful and creative choices. The skill and past histories of the individuals who crafted the articles will be so apparent and make these items even more precious.
