Holiday Gift Guide: Things to Know Before you Go

You might need to do a little detective work before you hit the stores. Here are a few things to keep in mind before you set out for your holiday shopping. 

Silver or Gold? Some people wear both.  Other people are very loyal to  their preferred metal.  Think back to jewelry you have seen them wearing.  Can’t remember?  Try doing a little social media snooping, and see if you can tell their preferences.  Do they wear matching sets of jewelry, or do they mix and match favorite pieces?  What are a few of their favorite things?  Jot down a few of the things that you know they love.  Even if it seems silly it might just spark an idea for an amazing gift.  Thoughtful gifts just need a little forethought, and you’ll do great. 

Planning on shopping for a ring? Keep in mind that you need to know their ring size, ideally the ring size for the finger you are shopping for.  Pointer fingers and pinkies are going to be very different.  If you don’t want to spoil the surprise by asking the recipient, try asking a friend or family member if they know the recipient’s rings size.  Do you have access to their rings? If so, try on a few.  Now this may mean sliding it part way down your smallest finger, but that is still very useful information if you are shopping in store.  We’d be happy to help you try different sizes until you find one that fits the same way.
