O.K.  You folks are a veritable font of information and enabling.  So here goes:

In July I'm going to a sort of music camp. . . .mostly guitarists.  We're doing an un-birthday theme and having a gift exchange.  I am looking for cell phone charms, preferably with a music or religious theme since it's also a sort of retreat.  Now, they would likely not be used on cell phones, they would be used to ornament guitar tuning pegs.  I have looked on Amazon and there are a couple.  Anyone else know any good places to shop?  The un-birthday gifts are to be $5 to $10 in value.

Thanks for any help!

how about ebay?

Airport! They always have keychains and charms of all sorts in the shops.

Don't do ebay. . . . .The airport is an idea. . . .except I think all the good shopping at National is inside the security barrier. . .not sure though. . . .keep those ideas coming. . . . I busy googling too. . . . .

I'd never heard of cellphone charms before, but a quick Google found this site: http://anniescellphonecharms.com/ and a bunch of others. So now I've fulfilled my quota for learning something new every day.

Crafts stores have tons of charms.  It would be very easy to pick up some ribbon or a black string.  I browse those aisles all the time wishing I had something to use them on.

Is there a difference between cell phone charms and charms?  I just looked at the cellphone charms website and was a little puzzled.  Do people put these on a chain attached to their cellphone?

Of course there are the Oberon charms...

Yep, I found that one. . .it's got some nice designs and the quality seems to be good, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for at this time. . . . .I'm still looking

Wow! You're a champion searcher. . . I'll check 'em out! Thanks!

deb, a friend suggested craft stores; the thing is I don't want to make it myself as that's just not my thing. . .still, there's a Michael's around the corner so I will check it out.

mlewis, the thing about cell phone charms is that they have a short lanyard so they can be hooked onto the lanyard pin found on many cell phones. And, as explained in the OP, they look stylish hanging from your guitar's tuning peg. Welll, one looks good, more than that might look tacky.

One of the members here had some charms for sale, member's name is "Kind", maybe PM him and see if he has anything that will suitable.

Sugar, I love the ones you found.  I would like those and I'm not even musical. 
LOL.

Your welcome

Just search on google since you don't do ebay. These things have been around for years

Ann, They are really so easy to make yourself, and much much cheaper. I made about 500 a couple years ago as giveaways for our quiltguild's show. took me maybe 2 days, and total cost was maybe 50 cents apiece? Of course ymmv depending on the price of the charms you use. I used bulk bought pony beads.

Quilters use them on scissors, rulers, rotary cutters, etc. when going to classes or on retreats together so we all know which stuff is ours.. nothing like getting 25 women together and holding up a pair of scissors and saying whose are these?

 

[Ann in Arlington]

I did some googling cheerio. . . . .but figured the more googlers the better and I did get some really good leads from folks here.

BTackitt. . . . if you knew me you would not even begin to suggest I try to do anything remotely like a craft project It just doesn't work! BUT I have had many friends who are quite talented in various arts and crafts so I have learned how to judge quality beyond "could I do that?". Because, of course, the answer is almost always 'no'.
