My church recently had a program honoring African American heritage. After the program there were tables set up in the foyer that had displays of books, tapes, CDs, paintings, framed artwork, and more. I looked on one table and saw it had all types of figurines but the ones that caught my eye were the African American angel figurines.

They were all so unique and beautiful. I tried to think if I knew anyone who collected angel figurines that would like one of these beautiful pieces. The ones I saw had an emotion about them. They truly brought out the peace and tranquility you would expect an angel to have. The faces had great detail and I found them very soothing. There is no better gift to give a person than the gift of peace and calm.

I remember after my father passed away, I would have given anything for the peace I had experienced that day. What a great way to honor someone’s memory or to remember the joy you had with that person than by having an angel that reminds you of them.

African American angel figurines have a way of bringing out rare beauty and combining it with the spiritual wholeness that angels are known to bring. Do you know anyone who collects angels? If so, African American angel figurines would be a tremendous addition to their collection. They are spiritual pieces that seem to tell a story all their own.

Some of them represent protection. These are great gifts for someone having a new baby, someone getting married, or even a person who is grieving. You could also get one for a child’s room.

There are figurines that can be used as night lights and ones that represent different family members. You can buy a mother, sister or daughter angel to give to your family member as a cherished keepsake.

The Internet has made it even easier to find a good selection of figurines to chose from. With just a click, you can have a wealth of information about these collectibles at your disposal.

Angels mean different things for different people. So, pick out the one that best suits the person of whom you are buying. Think about adding a poem, note or a special card to your gift to help create a lasting memory of a treasured present.
