Purchasing A Native American Gift

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.

A dream catcher is a great buy. It appeals to the imagination and the history of the natives of this land. These pieces of art are composed of very intricate and interesting designs. They also have a history which is very intriguing to share. Supposedly bad dreams are filtered through the dream catcher and only good dreams are allowed to get through. They move down the feathers and into an individual's slumber. The round hoop is symbolic of oneness and unity. You can even purchase kits for individuals who want to make their own.

Your recipient could be a doll collector or just a person who would like an Indian doll because she is interested in the culture. Whatever the case, this would be a lovely conversation piece, as this type of doll would not be dressed in frilly dresses and Mary Jane shoes. Rather, it would probably be wearing buckskin and moccasins with some beading. Choose a doll that may represent a particular tribe or just a general style of a doll that represents this culture.

A pair of hand-made moccasins can make wonderful casual shoes or very comfortable bedroom slippers. Choose a pair with beading or fringe for more interest and detail. Be sure to find out the correct size before you shop for these items. They are so comfortable that the recipient may be asking for more of these special shoes.

Jewelry is another option. The pieces can be made of so many materials such as feathers, natural stone, turquoise, pewter, old coins, and silver. The bead work produced by many natives can be fascinating with the designs and color of the specific tribes worked into the craftsmanship. Select favorites from headbands, barrettes, rings, bracelets, chokers, necklaces, and ankle bracelets.

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 are also popular items to choose from. The designs can match almost any color scheme or decor, and the blankets themselves are very warm and cozy. They make great throws, extra blankets, coverlets, or even wall hangings.

Present these gift to those who will truly appreciate the unique pride and craftsmanship that will go into each and every piece. The skill and heritage that are in the making of these items will transform these pieces into endearing and very precious presents. You will be able to find so many articles like these that will suit the person's personality and preferences, so you can continue your quest for these very unique expressions of caring and love.
