The Real Secret to Finding the Perfect Gift 🎁

October 20, 2025

Let’s talk about that moment — the one where you’re wandering through the high street, caffeine in hand, trying to find a gift that says “I care about you” but ends up whispering “I panicked.”

We’ve all been there.
And look, I’m not here to throw shade at the high street — they’ve got some very cute gifts (I see you, cosy socks and festive mugs). But most of what’s out there is made for everyone… not necessarily for them.

The truth is, the best gifts aren’t about price tags or perfect wrapping. They’re about purpose — a moment of thought that says, I see you. I know you. This made me think of you.

1. It’s about meaning, not marketing.

Trends come and go — but thoughtfulness sticks around.
When you take a moment to think about who they really are (what makes them laugh, what grounds them, what they’d wear every day), you move from shopping for the sake of it to choosing with intention.
That’s where the magic happens.

2. The best gifts tell stories.

A gift can be beautiful, but when it carries a story — it becomes unforgettable.
Maybe it’s a necklace stamped with their favourite mantra, or a ring that marks a milestone. Maybe it’s something you spotted and thought, “that’s so her.”
That little story lives on every time they wear it, hold it, or glance at it.

3. Small treasures > filler presents.

We don’t need more things — we need things that mean more.
A thoughtfully chosen piece (handmade or not) doesn’t have to be big or flashy. It just has to feel right. Something that becomes part of their everyday — a quiet reminder of love, strength, or joy.

4. It’s personal — and that’s the point.

The best gifts don’t try to fit into a trend. They fit the person.
That’s why I love making jewellery that celebrates individuality — pieces for the dreamers, the doers, the rebels, and everyone in between. Because no one’s personality is “one size fits all,” so their gifts shouldn’t be either.

5. Stress shopping is a recipe for disaster.

Ever panic-bought a candle only to find out they’re allergic to lavender? Yeah… same. We don't exactly make our best decisions under pressure and stressed out.
That’s why I created the Jewellery Matchmaker Quiz — a fun little way to find a piece that matches their vibe perfectly. No guesswork, no stress, just good gifting energy.

So next time you’re choosing a gift (for someone you love — or yourself, no judgement), pause for a moment. Think about why you’re buying it.

Because when you choose something that truly fits them — whether that’s a handmade treasure or a small shop find — you’re not just giving a gift. You’re giving a feeling.
And that’s the kind of magic that lasts far longer than any discount deal ever could.

Take five minutes to really think about who you’re buying for — what makes them smile, what they reach for every day, what words you’d want them to carry with them.
And if jewellery’s on your list, I can help take the overwhelm out of it.

The Jewellery Matchmaker Quiz is a quick, fun way to find a piece that reflects them — their story, their style, their spark.
Sure it's fun and silly, but it get's you to really think about who you're buying for and the best and most wonderful things about them...and with some gorgeous jewellery gift suggestions (If I do say so myself...😘)
