First of all, I want to take this time going into the holiday season to give thanks to friends and family. And I want to give everyone some reminders to carry with them during this time of abundance and celebration:

  • Appreciate those who are near to your heart. 
  • Stop during these busy times to see the simple things in front of you that we can sometimes take for granted. 
  • Feel joy.  
  • Be charitable and give to those who are in need. 
  • Volunteer and show love to those who need some encouragement.

And once again, I’m grateful for my Dune Family and friends for inspiring me and for bringing me hope. So in this tradition, I want to pass along ‘Dan’s Gift Picks for Holiday’ heading into November to kick off a wonderful season.

Dan’s pick for the perfect gift when attending a family or work dinner house party is, of course, Holly’s inspiring book Happiness comes in Waves!  This coffee table or nightstand book will be one they pick up for a few pages of reflection during their daily routine.  And don’t forget to write a personal message in the front!!

Time for some adventure this holiday? Choose the Ripple Cuff Bracelet! This exciting design flows with so much energy on your wrist!!  It is part of Dune’s Boutique Collection which can only be purchased at a Dune Retailer, so find a store near you.

The easy-to-wear, stackable and charitable Touch The World Bracelets are a classic for Christmas. Give the gift to everyone on your list, helping their favorite causes. It’s like two gifts in one!!

A little luxury, or what Dan calls a ‘spoil myself for a change’ gift, is the Rope Seven Sands Cuff. Put all of your favorite destinations in this design, mixed with colorful elements that highlight your chakras and spark the memories made in these locations! You could fill its bezels with white powder from a Caribbean retreat, crushed volcanic rock from a Hawaiian honeymoon, or a pinch of earth from a memorable European holiday where you spent a rainy afternoon playing the best casino online Ireland has to offer from a cozy local tavern. Your personal adventures dictate the final design, making each cuff a completely unique reflection of your life’s journey.

Dan’s 2022 pick for a NEW FAVORITE DUNE DESIGN is…’Little Drummer’ Roll…the Boho Bloom Necklace!!  A little nod to the past with a feel of ancestral design, this will be passed down in the family for generations.

And for the whole family, something special from Dune for every one of us under the tree…

  • For Dad: The functional and cool Money Clip!  Slide a gift card into the clip for his favorite outdoor shop or restaurant.
  • For Mom: The super tasteful and elegant Aquamarine Baguette Collection in silver or gold by Camille Kostek is a win. She will wear these every day. It’s the perfect December stone.
  • For The Gals: Their eyes will shine for The Moonstone Studs by Camille.  And for the young, or the young at heart, the Butterfly Stationary Necklace will be their new favorite.
  • For The Boys: Choose the masculine and trendy beaded bracelet with Lava Stones and stainless steel.

As many of you know, it has been a difficult month for me, my Suncatchers’ Dream Family, Sanibel Island Community, and several other Florida communities that were affected by Hurricane Ian.  We are literally starting again from scratch.  Even after losing so much, I realize how much I have…in my heart.  When things seem impossible and overwhelming, the best in your community will come out to lift you up!!  We are truly never alone.  And as we put this terrible chapter behind us, we can see that we have a beautiful and magical life ahead of us.

Island Love From My Sanibel,
Dan

In this spirit of giving, please also consider the purchase of a Support Florida bracelet in Aquamarine or Amethyst which helps Dune Retailers and Florida Communities rebuild.  You may also purchase an exclusive Suncatchers’ Dream design on the Dune website, the Sanibel Island Necklace.  All proceeds from these necklaces will go directly to Dan to help him rebuild his store.
