It’s sometimes difficult to know what to give our loved ones for special occasions. For something like a wedding or christening, most people want to give something which will be treasured forever and kept as a memory of that special event. This is where your local independent jeweller can help you. Many stock a wide range of giftware which will show your friends and family the thought and love that has gone into your gift decision.
For special birthdays and anniversaries, why not ask your local jeweller about a porcelain figurine? This is a great way for a loved one to add a stylish new addition to their home, and also gives the option of someone else buying a complementing figurine, or another figure being bought on a different occasion, in order for the person receiving the gift to be able to start a valuable collection. Remember, your local independent jeweller will be able to guide you towards something to suit everyone’s taste.
Christenings are particularly difficult to buy a keepsake for, as the recipient is often too young to give something to which will stand the test of time. How about a special photoframe, which can be kept by the child’s parents as a keepsake for years to come? A local jewellery shop will often stock items such as beautiful silver photoframes, and many other pieces of giftware, which are very suitable for Christening keepsakes.
If you’re struggling to find something to give as a wedding present, your local independent jeweller could also help with this. Stocking clocks, figurines and other collectable pieces from recognised makers, your local jeweller will be able to find something to suit every newly married couple’s tastes. And don’t forget those closest to you; your local jewellery shop will also be able to help with buying a special piece of jewellery or a watch as a birthday or an anniversary present for your other half. After all, a traditional 5th anniversary present is wood, so how about a new wooden clock? The 20th anniversary is china, so why not buy a figurine? And not forgetting your 25th anniversary (silver), 30th anniversary (pearl) or 50th anniversary (gold) which speak for themselves!
If you’ve got a special occasion coming up and you’re stuck for that unique gift, remember to try your local jewellery shop – their friendly staff will be happy to hunt down the perfect present for your loved one!
