Pandora Gift Ideas

Well it’s that time of the year again and we are all frantically searching for gifts for our loved ones. As for myself I had a great shopping list to go through with a huge family like mine! I decided that getting charms bracelets or charms weren’t possible for every one of my nieces, aunts and girlfriends as I’m not made from gold. But it did get me thinking about buying charms and charm bracelets for loved ones and how to get a perfect gift without giving your surprise away. You can’t just wrap tape measures around wrists without looking suspicious! And what if it’s for somebody you don’t quite know? How are you supposed to know what colours, metals or jewels are their favourite. Do you risk getting whatever and just including a receipt so the giftee can get an exchange? I know its common practice but it’s just not my style. There’s nothing better to give the perfect gift and seeing the look on a person’s face of pure joy. So here are a few tips I was thinking about that might help steer you in finding the perfect gift for your special someone. Getting Measurements There’s nothing more disappointing when giving a jewellery gift to get the perfect style that somebody loves, but in the wrong size. You’ll have to go through the hassle of going back to the shop and exchanging it, which might not even be possible if they’re out of stock. To get somebody’s measurements without giving yourself away, the most accurate way is to get their favourite piece of jewellery and sneak it away to get measurements from that. If it’s a bit of an emergency and you can’t get a their favourite piece, most shops have sizing charts from which you can draw an estimate from, or you get jewellery with an adjustable clip or safety chain or just stick to charms that will fit their bracelet. The Perfect Style Knowing what kind of charm a person would like is a much harder task, especially if the gift is for an acquaintance who’s a charm fanatic and might already own the charm you’ve got in mind for them. Try to get a peek at their collection and get a feel of what kind of charm they like. Cute and cuddly bears and little animals? Elegant pearls and detailed silver beads? A Murano lover? Ask them about their collection and share your own charm knowledge. Maybe they are working on a theme you can add to or they’ve got something in mind already you can get for them! If all else fails look at the latest charms from the Christmas Charm Collection that they’ll most likely not have or go with some less common pendant necklaces by Pandora or their birthstone jewel. Whatever you do, they’ll surely love it. Good Luck Gifting and Happy Holidays! -Deborah
