Of the many decisions we have to make in life, deciding what to give someone for their birthday is a yearly dilemma we all face collectively. Especially if it’s a person who is very close to you or your own family, it only gets tougher with each year as we always need to make sure that it’s better than the previous.
A gift is a sign of telling someone that you love them. That you know them the best. It’s also an expression of how much effort has gone into planning for it, finding the perfect gift that will make them speechless.
While there are so many options in different categories that can be exclusive, here are some reasons why we feel customers have chosen to celebrate their birthdays / get birthday gifts from us regularly. Fun fact: Last minute birthday deliveries dominate the list of orders we get at CaratLane 😉
Why Jewellery
More often than not, we want to gift something that people will remember. Gifts that will last a lifetime, have their own narrative woven into the piece. A reminder of who gave it to them and the special place they hold in your life.
It always seems so much easier to send a bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolates, or greeting cards that already have a generic message. While there is nothing wrong with sending any of these as it shows the person celebrating their birthday is remembered, it is too easy, especially with everything available online. All you need to do is click the mouse a few times and pay the bill!
But, when we put a little more thought into it and go down memory lane and recall significant moments, the birthday gift takes on special meaning. It is more so when you wish to mark a special milestone. True, it is a process. But, you know it is worth a little time and effort as it is a labour of love, after all! Let’s make it a little easier with a few best birthday gift ideas.
When you step into a jewellery store to pick out birthday gifts, you know you have made the right decision, because there is an item for every relationship – best friend, mom, daughters and sons, the love of your life, and for every occasion – Sweet 16th, 18th birthday, 21st, and so on. You will find these and more at CaratLane, and with the price range, you can also feel relieved that there is something to suit your budget.
Earrings – studs, drops, or danglers?
Knowing someone well will make it easy to choose among studs, drops, or danglers. Even so, the choices are varied and can be a trifle challenging. But, if you would like to add to their jewellery collection, you can pick the Delicate Leaflet diamond stud earrings. It is simple and a clear message of a blossoming friendship. The Shining Hearts diamond stud earrings are as good a choice and perfect for the trendsetting friend.
Charm bracelets
Charm bracelets are unique, more so because each birthday can bring a new charm that can be added to the bracelet. Just as interests change as we grow, the charms we wear can show our current hobby while keeping the previous ones fresh. So often, we move from one hobby to another until we forget the earlier ones as the new hobby gets all our attention. A charm bracelet that shows our growth is a great birthday gift. A friend who has known us through the years will know just which charm to add. The Wise Owl gold charm for the animal lover or the personalised star and moon gold charm to show that you love them to the moon and back will make the birthday girl ecstatic.
Pendant necklaces
Make the birthday gift personal. Choose the pendant that says it all and that you count yourself as one of their closest friends. Alphabet pendants can do that for you. With men wearing chains and pendants, alphabet necklaces can make it easier to buy birthday gifts of either gender. A simple but eloquent message can be conveyed through the Chloe Heart diamond pendant or the Duo diamond heart pendant. They are perfect for everyday wear and can also be worn for a night out with friends. Birthday gifts like these are ideal because they suit everyone and are favourites among any age group.
Nose rings or nose pins?
Did you know that nose rings and pins can be great birthday gifts, too? There are beautiful nose pins for those with a nostril or two pierced and those who don’t but secretly long to wear them. Gifting them with one would finally push them into taking action and getting their nostril pierced, just to wear the special gift. You can choose either a pin with a single gemstone or plain gold. Or, you could pick out the intricately designed nose pin like the Ananya diamond nose pin. For someone who likes green, there’s the Gauhar detachable gemstone nose pin.
Go with antique silver.
Think antiques, and you have a plethora of antique designs in silver jewellery. You can’t go wrong with any of them if your friend likes to shine in silver and has always had an eye on antique tribal jewellery. You have much to choose from earrings to toe rings, with bangles, necklaces, and anklets in between. You may be tempted to get some jewellery for yourself while shopping for the birthday girl! The silver gemstone tribal flexible anklet has a few freshwater pearls adding the classic touch. It is one-of-a-kind jewellery that lends special meaning to a birthday gift.
Wearing jewellery is personal. Receiving jewellery items as gifts makes it even more so. And, only someone who thinks of what will make you happy will venture into a jewellery store and pick the one thing that you will be thrilled to receive.
