Birthday, Anniversary, Valentine’s Day, Holidays… What to buy? Well a friend that worked in a local store in a small community told me that men would come in at the last minute to buy a gift for their wives and come to the counter with a iron, vacuum, or other home appliance. She would sarcastically comment, “Nothing more romantic than the gift of work!” They would think for a split second and in panic ask for help in picking out a more suitable gift for the occasion. Being a small community, the wives would find out and stop by the store to thank her for helping their husband pick out the perfect gift.
So how can you be romantic and original? Jewelry is always a great choice. You have many options. For a birthdays, a ring, earrings, necklace, bracelet, or pendant with a birthstone or other gemstone to mix it up. For an Anniversary, how romantic is it to not only give jewelry but jewelry with the gemstone corresponding to the number of years married. Now that really says I remembered!
