Silver Napkin Rings
Vintage silver napkin rings are another great gift item.  Currently, a stunning variety of these items can be found on eBay.  Figural napkin rings are especially interesting.  They take on a more animated and sometimes even comical appearance with the addition of miniature dogs, ducks, cherubs, horses, and acrobats that seem to leap off the actual rings.

Great sterling silver napkin rings are available and can be purchased on eBay for less than thirty dollars.  However, if you widen your search to silver-plated rings, as well as those with monograms, you will find many charming examples at modest prices.

 Most silver-plated napkin rings can be found for a few dollars, and they're sometimes offered in small sets for that amount.  Prices increase markedly if you want to give only those napkin rings that bear the hallmark of special makers.
