Henna Silver Handmade Painted Gift - Anam Cara Inspirational Message.

Handmade with love, painted and varnished for indoor use only.

Ideal to place on a desk, mantle, bedside table, or anywhere you frequently glance, as a gorgeous reminder of positivity and affirmation. Our Anam Caras come complete with a gift bag and a with a gift tag, explaining the sentiment of the item, making them perfect presents for all occasions, especially birthdays, or as thank you gifts for friends, teachers, coaches, mentors and so on. ❤️

Each Anam Cara is unique, some with seeming scars, dents, or imperfections in the wood. These repurposed pieces have been chosen on purpose for their symbolic value -- as humans we are all a bit bumped-n-bruised, but there is strength in our scars, and beauty in our bumps. We want the Anam Cara to remind you of that, everyday!

A percentage from each Anam Cara sold will be donated to a women's or mental health charity. 

One of the perfectly imperfect ones, with smooth, uneven wood, burnt orange colour, and its four affirmations read: 

-i'm not my past

- i can do this

-no gaslighting

-i am healing

Anam Cara is an Irish Celtic phrase which is best translated as “soul friend.” In this tradition, a “soul friend” is an essential part of one’s emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

We are pleased to introduce our “Anam Cara Inspirational Gifts “– handmade craftworks made of repurposed wood and some with genuine gemstones, all featuring thoughtful affirmations of positivity and solidarity. The repurposed wood symbolises the renewal that is possible for each of us in our lives; there is always a chance for rebuilding and hope.

Gemstones are formed by Mother Nature over millions of years with precise amounts of pressure, heat, and time. Captivating and beautiful, our gemstones also symbolise the resilience and worthiness of each of us – no two of us are alike in our trials and tribulations, or our triumphs over our challenges.

The affirmations speak for themselves, and in their colourful entirety, Henna’s Anam Cara Inspirational gifts provide heartwarming encouragement to both the giver and the recipient -- you are valued, you are brave and you matter.

These handmade keepsakes are perfect gifts for a friend, mother, daughter, sister, wife – anyone special in your life who deserve a lasting token of love & affection ♥️

Teachers, mentors, coaches, support people are also included.

Most of us will struggle with our mental health at some point in our lives and we at Henna Silver believe that sometimes just a few positive words of encouragement can make all the difference. We all need to feel loved & cared for ♥️
