Forget Name Necklaces, Name Earrings Are a Top Trending Gift This Holiday

Wearing a dainty necklace that spells out your name was such a thing for a while there. But it has been replaced — or enhanced? — with earrings that spell your name in a dainty script. 

They make a great gift for anyone with pierced ears whose name you know how to spell. They would make a lovely bridesmaid gift, best friend's gift, or Christmas present. They are pretty, inexpensive, and personalized — the trifecta of perfect gifting. Even if the recipient of your generosity is you!

The only problem? Choosing which font and style to get. Here are five we love.
