The Magic of Tear Gifts


Tear Catchers make a wonderful and unique gift that both intrigues and delights all who receive it.   Tear bottles encourage friends and loved ones to collect the hopes, dreams, joys, and sorrows that resonate in their tears in a treasured vial.  This creates a deeply emotional bond with your tear catcher or tear jar and infuses a profound meaning each and every time it is filled.  Here are three momentous occasions in which a tear catcher makes the perfect, distinctive gift.  

Mother’s Day
Mother's Day is observed all over the world and across 46 different countries!  According to historians, this holiday is rumored to be centuries old (much like tear vials) and can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods.  The celebration was later cemented in American history by Anna Jarvis and Julia Ward Howe in the 1800’s.  This heartwarming holiday is known for honoring mothers and celebrating motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society.   Tear catchers make exquisite gifts for mothers, because they celebrate and encompass the unconditional love that mothers have for their children.   Mothers are the most revered figurehead of families and the joy, struggles, hopes, and dreams that they have for their children are expressed in tears that can be treasured in a tear gift and passed down from generation to generation.  A mother’s love is instinctive, nurturing, unwavering, and special; All the more reason she deserves a tear catcher to embrace the very tears she so lovingly shares with her children.

Wedding Day
A woman’s wedding day is considered to be one of the most memorable milestones in her life.  Visions of brides in pearl hued dresses gracefully floating down petal strewn aisle are images we’ve seen since we were children.   Weddings are celebrations filled with a dream like romance and a promise of everlasting love that brings tears of joy, hope, and limitless possibilities.  Each bride on her special day is as unique as a fingerprint which makes a tear catcher a blessed token to gift to a happy bride-to-be.  A bride will shed many tears on her wedding day and as a wife will shed more as the years pass.  She will face many moments throughout her marriage and life that will bring tears worthy of being cradled in a tear gift. 

Birth of a Child
Children are considered to be the greatest gift a mother can bestow upon the world and are the completion of a family circle.  A tear catcher presented at a baby shower, child birth, adoption ceremony, or even a christening can expresses well wishes for a healthy child and a richly rewarding experience in parenthood.   Some say that being a parent is the hardest, most fulfilling job in the world and in turn produces many tears of happiness, aspiration, frustration, hopefulness, and adoration.  Often tear gifts given at momentous child welcoming occasions remain with families for years and are cherished traditions that solidify and recognize the bonds woven within a family tree.
