Birthday Gifts

Birthday Gifts by Blingvine

Birthdays are the most exciting time of the year. We plan our loved ones' birthdays more than we plan our own birthdays. But this time comes with the added stress of giving the perfect gift. Most often than not, jewellery is one gift that is a sure shot. This gift is one for everyone, irrespective of their age or your relationship with them. It’s one that they’ll love and treasure always.

Gifting jewellery isn’t easy, and you must plan it well. Let us help you out with some factors you must consider while gifting someone jewellery for their birthday.

Your relationship with them 

When you buy jewellery for a loved one, the first question you answer is what your relationship with them is. If you’re giving the gift to your wife, you can never go wrong with diamonds. They make for the most memorable birthday gift. If you’re giving a gift to your girlfriend, give a pair of earrings or a bracelet that she’ll love. The best gift for your mom would be a pair of pearl earrings or even a pair of statement earrings. If you’re giving your sister a birthday gift, we would suggest giving her a pendant set she can wear regularly.

Their personal style

When you’re giving a gift to the women in your life, you must look at each gift from their eyes. When you do this, you match the gift to their personal style very well. If the person you’re giving the gift is very minimal, and likes to wear only one piece of jewellery, or something small and classic, the perfect gift for them would be a pendant set, or a pair of timeless drop earrings.

If the person you’re giving the gift to is someone who likes to be extra, who is loud and proud, a pair of statement earrings, a necklace set or a gorgeous tennis bracelet would be ideal for them.

The key is to give them something they would pick for themselves, rather than something that you think would look good on them.

Their personality

The third question you must answer is what is their personality? This may sound like a very obvious question, but again, you have to take this into consideration. If the person you’re giving the gift to loves going for parties and socialising, a pair of showstopping and sparkly earrings are right up their alley. If you’re giving the gift to someone who goes out once a while, give them a piece that they’ll love wearing. A bracelet will be perfect for someone like that. If you’re giving a gift to someone who is very elegant and sophisticated, a pair of American diamonds or pearl earrings is the best gift you can give them.

Their age

The next question is how old they are. Some jewellery is meant for women who are older, as it makes them look more refined. Some jewellery adds youth to the face, making the wearer look younger or their age. If you’re giving the gift to a teenager, ensure you give something which isn't too heavy. A pendant necklace, a pair of stud earrings or even a cute bracelet is something they’d enjoy. If you’re giving the gift to an adult, you can go for anything, as everything looks great on them. If you’re giving the gift to someone older, the classic choice would be diamonds or pearls as it makes them look more extinguished.

What is the message you want to convey?

Lastly, what is the message you want to convey with your gift? Some pieces of jewellery are timeless, and can be passed on through generations as heirlooms. These are usually diamonds and pearls, or gifts that have been on any firsts - a first wedding anniversary, a first date or a first birthday. If you’re giving your partner a gift, give her something that reminds her of the love you have for each other. If you’re giving your sister a gift, give her dangler or hoop earrings that are fun and can be worn everyday.

These were our top five questions to answer while giving a gift to someone. Giving jewellery is a big step, and it’s important to give the right kind of jewellery. If you have a loved one’s birthday coming, do check out jewellery at Blingvine.
