Yes, the holidays are imminent. That means gift giving is on everyone’s minds, and gifts of the sparkly kind are, as usual, on Birkat Elyon’s. Have a special woman in your life? Then we’re not the only ones thinking about the gift of jewelry this year. She is too!
Whether you’re thinking about a piece of extremely high-quality cubic zirconia jewelry or an “authentic” diamond ring, if you’re thinking about giving jewelry to the person you love, you’re thinking right. This holiday season, show her how much her love means to you by giving her a beautiful piece of jewelry, but don’t just hand it to her – get creative! Here are some ideas for you.
Surprise Her with a Delivery
Every woman loves getting a romantic surprise from her man, something to show her that you were thinking about her. And when you surprise her with jewelry you also show her how much you love her. Jewelry given as a gift means something; it’s a symbol of your love. Try surprise delivering it to her workplace to show not just her but also all of her coworkers how much you love her, and you’re sure to impress.
Place an order for a bouquet of her favorite type of flower and ask the flower service to include your jewelry as part of the gift. Try having the piece attached to a flower or used as a vase adornment.
Is this jewelry gift the big one? Are you popping the question? Plan to arrive immediately after the delivery to bend a knee and ask for her hand.
Hide It in Plain Sight
This next one is an especially fun trick to employ during the holidays. Stuff some mundane gifts under the tree for her to fool her into thinking you blew it on the gift front this year… but then, “There’s something else? Is this another gift? For me? It’s jewelry!?” You may have to suffer through a bit of stink eye from her as she opens her lesser gifts, thinking that’s all you got her this year, but it will all be worth it to see her elated surprise when she discovers that you saved the best for last.
Don’t feel like you have to go crazy hiding it someplace super secretive that no one will ever look. Instead, the night before the gift giving, sneak away from her and hide it in plain sight. Consider hanging it from an ornament or directly from the tree for a fun holiday surprise.
Write Something Beautiful
Have you been to a pharmacy lately? A department store? Convenience store? Did you happen to notice that small (read: large) section dedicated to a little thing called “greeting cards”? I’m sure you did. Well, if it hasn’t dawned on you yet – and, really, it probably should have by now – women love getting heartfelt cards from the special someone in their lives.
Try channeling your inner Shakespeare and write her a loving poem to go along with her jewelry. Not the sappy poetry type? Not to worry. If you’re at the point of your relationship that you’re giving expensive jewelry as a gift, then she already knows not to expect Romeo and Juliet from you, but she loves you for who you are anyways. Channel your inner goofball instead and write something silly that will make her laugh, if that’s more your style.
Play to your strengths, because they’re a large part of why she loves you. Write her a message that expresses your love for her in whatever way comes naturally to you. Then, put it in a card and stuff the jewelry piece inside with it (this works best with flat necklaces, bracelets and earrings).
Serve It to Her
You like going out to dinner, right? Most people do, and there’s a good chance your special girl is one of those “most people.” What’s more, there’s no one she wants to go out for a nice meal with more than you. Make reservations at her favorite local restaurant and make sure she’s served more than food and drinks.
How do you present it to her? There’s always the classic Hollywood “under the covered dish” technique, but, really, how many restaurants actually serve food under covered dishes? None that your friendly Birkat Elyon Cubic Zirconia Blog writer frequents, that’s for sure. Instead, try placing a ring in the bottom of a wine or champagne glass or as a decoration on dessert.
Put It on a Little Furry Friend
No, not the dog/cat; they can be uncooperative. Have a stuffed animal wear the jewelry, especially if she’s an animal lover. A necklace or bracelet can be worn over a stuffed animal’s neck or wrist, respectively. A ring can be rested or taped to a paw. It’s a unique way to present her with jewelry, and one she’ll likely remember.
