Letâs talk about that moment â the one where youâre wandering through the high street, caffeine in hand, trying to find a gift that says âI care about youâ but ends up whispering âI panicked.â
Weâve all been there.
And look, Iâm not here to throw shade at the high street â theyâve got some very cute gifts (I see you, cosy socks and festive mugs). But most of whatâs out there is made for everyone⌠not necessarily for them.
The truth is, the best gifts arenât about price tags or perfect wrapping. Theyâre about purpose â a moment of thought that says, I see you. I know you. This made me think of you.

1. Itâs about meaning, not marketing.
Trends come and go â but thoughtfulness sticks around.
When you take a moment to think about who they really are (what makes them laugh, what grounds them, what theyâd wear every day), you move from shopping for the sake of it to choosing with intention.
Thatâs where the magic happens.
2. The best gifts tell stories.
A gift can be beautiful, but when it carries a story â it becomes unforgettable.
Maybe itâs a necklace stamped with their favourite mantra, or a ring that marks a milestone. Maybe itâs something you spotted and thought, âthatâs so her.â
That little story lives on every time they wear it, hold it, or glance at it.

3. Small treasures > filler presents.
We donât need more things â we need things that mean more.
A thoughtfully chosen piece (handmade or not) doesnât have to be big or flashy. It just has to feel right. Something that becomes part of their everyday â a quiet reminder of love, strength, or joy.
4. Itâs personal â and thatâs the point.
The best gifts donât try to fit into a trend. They fit the person.
Thatâs why I love making jewellery that celebrates individuality â pieces for the dreamers, the doers, the rebels, and everyone in between. Because no oneâs personality is âone size fits all,â so their gifts shouldnât be either.
5. Stress shopping is a recipe for disaster.
Ever panic-bought a candle only to find out theyâre allergic to lavender? Yeah⌠same. We don't exactly make our best decisions under pressure and stressed out.
Thatâs why I created the Jewellery Matchmaker Quiz â a fun little way to find a piece that matches their vibe perfectly. No guesswork, no stress, just good gifting energy.

So next time youâre choosing a gift (for someone you love â or yourself, no judgement), pause for a moment. Think about why youâre buying it.
Because when you choose something that truly fits them â whether thatâs a handmade treasure or a small shop find â youâre not just giving a gift. Youâre giving a feeling.
And thatâs the kind of magic that lasts far longer than any discount deal ever could.
Take five minutes to really think about who youâre buying for â what makes them smile, what they reach for every day, what words youâd want them to carry with them.
And if jewelleryâs 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 â 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...đ)
