How to Make Your Gift More Special

Good morning lovelies ..

This is a topic that a lot of people want to know about, we get a lot requests on how to make gifts more personalized, special, unique, and this is what we are all about. These are a few tips that  I think are really helpful when looking for such a gift.



1. This like the person you are trying to gift
This is really important as it is important to get a present that the person your gifting actually wants not what you want. Sometimes you get trapped into the idea thinking "Oooh I like this, I'll get it for so and so". So first decide what you are looking or.

2. Can you get this item handmade?
More and more people are moving to loving handmade items, and one off items. It is always more special when you feel that the gift has been made especially for you, or only you will have this item. Everyone loves to be unique and different.

3. Can you customize your gift?
Think of the present that you want to gift can you customize it? For example, lets talk jewellery (Surprise! lol!), can you change the color? The shape? The gems? Depending on what the person you are making it for likes, and this can go for a lot of other items you are looking for. If you are customizing a purse or a bag.

4. Personalize
For me this is the most important point. At Hana Designs we personalize our jewellery by adding an engraved jewellery tag and you can choose what type of tag. We started offering this service after a lot of you lovely ladies starting to order personalized jewellery. You can engrave a name or a date or a word that means something to you. This has been met by a great response and everyone loves them. If you want to look or something other than jewellery, taking the example from the previous point, a bag or purse you can again get it engraved, or attach an engraved tag to it. Any little personalized item will make so much difference to the presentation and feel of the gift. It chose how much thought has been put in the gift and that is what makes the most difference. If you would like to see the tags we provide click here.

I hope that you find this helpful and hope that all the gifts you buy are loved and appreciated. If you would like to know anything else please leave a comment below or message me anytime.

Have a lovely day beauties.

New Collection Launch

Hello Beauties ..

As many of you would have already seen that I have launched my new collection this month, but not only that I have also launch a new look along with a few signature designs. If you have not yet seen my collection you can view it here.

First of all about my new logo, complements go to the beautiful Ranya who is an amazing upcoming designer. She was super helpful and did not mind my pickiness (don't think that is a word lol!), I felt bad I'm usually not very picky :D. This is the end result which I totally love and you will be seeing everywhere hopefully.

I have changed the gift packaging now it looks totally cool I will be posting up some pics for you too. All exciting new things about the look and feel of my whole brand, felt we needed a little bit of a change. I'm in the process of changing some things around the house or adding lets say, changing my workshop, my brand .. who can tell I'm board? lol! But it's a good thing.

Now moving to my signature designs, there are a three specific designs that are related to Hana Designs, not all of them are in the store yet, but I want to share with you one that I have fallen in love with. It looks stunning, simple, elegant, you can wear it every day, or dress it up, it is just perfect. Below is a photo of one of the designs that I have used this technique in. You can find the same look in different gems or pearl, in different colors and sizes. So far this has been the most popular of all the newly added items. I have also made my very own request (I haven't made it yet though lol!)


For me this a perfect choice, as a mother of two I find it hard to wear earrings, especially that I like dangly earrings. I get scared that one of them will try to take it out lol! Kids these days are just too curious lol! But these are simple yet beautiful and elegant, not too flashy so I can wear them every day, yet if I'm dressing up it still looks great, and it looks like I have even made an effort, when if you're like me there is no time to make any effort. :D

These are made with Sterling silver and Swarovski white pearls, you can order them in any color pearl. With the same design I have a pair that are made with Semi Precious Aquamarine, and coming soon will be a pair made with Semi Precious Agate. All have their matching necklace sets that you can also purchase from Hana Designs. To see these earrings click here.

There will be more updates coming your way including the Christmas best seller so keep a look out for that. If you have any questions regarding my collection please do not hesitate to message me any time.
