CREATIVE WAYS TO GIFT YOUR LOVED ONES

Many of your favorite accessories and jewelry are created by indigenous communities from around the world.  Fair trade aims to help preserve their traditions and techniques and provide opportunity for sustainability of culture and life. When you purchase fair trade items, you are contributing to the success of these families. Your hand crafted accessories will help our artisans gain self-respect and dignity while making a living wage to afford the essentials such as nutritious food, education, and healthcare. 

When you buy fair trade items, you are not only appreciating the skilled work of indigenous cultures that created your new purchase, but also giving opportunity for the marginalized men and women of these developing communities. Your purchase promotes improved living conditions and helps improve communities of our artisans. 

You finally found the perfect jewelry gift for that special someone. The gift that’s sure to elicit ooh's, ahh’s, and “that’s perfect!” But the work is not over. To give that extra step in making it perfect, you need to find a perfect way to present the perfect gift. Instead of just handing the jewelry box to that special someone or wrapping it and putting it under the tree with so many other gifts, get creative in your presentation. Try a new way to present the present, or make the presentation a show that ends with their excitement over your creative thoughtfulness. How do you make your jewelry gift stand out? We have a few creative and thoughtful ways to gift jewelry and make it a present opening they will always remember.

When you have a gift-giving occasion, such as Christmas, birthday, or anniversary; create the element of surprise. To help surprise and excite, change up the timing of the gift giving. If you normally exchange gifts with your spouse at your anniversary dinner, present them with their jewelry gift first thing in the morning. Set-up the gift near the coffee that is prepared for them. The surprise timing of gifting the present catches them off guard and makes the gift more exciting and memorable. Another option is to give jewelry the evening before a special event. They probably won’t be expecting the gift early, and they can wear the jewelry for the special celebration.

What better way to present a gift than inside another gift and who doesn’t like multiple gifts? Instead of just giving a piece of jewelry, buy another gift that can be incorporated into the gift-giving. The gift can be related or just make a good holder for the jewelry. Expecting that there’s nothing else and then they are surprised with the “real” gift. Also, you could use a stuffed animal to present the jewelry. if you are a younger couple or your significant other think stuffed animals are adorable; put the jewelry on the animal such as a necklace around its neck or earrings put in its ears as if the animal is wearing the jewelry. Tuck the jewelry box on the stuffed animal’s lap as part of the presentation.
