What Vintage Jewelry Gifts Say About You

Did you know that the gifts you give say something about the type of person you are? Think about it...if you give only useful, practical gifts, it says "I'm a no-nonsense kind of person." On the other hand, if pocket watches, cameo lockets and nature leaf jewelry are your gifts of choice, it tells the world "I'm an interesting, creative individual."

Your motive for giving gifts, of course, probably isn't to polish your own reputation. I doubt seriously that you choose birthday gifts like zodiac lockets so that people will admire you. Most likely, you choose unique vintage jewelry to give others because it's beautiful and it brings joy to them.

But isn't it fun, honestly, to have someone open a set of handmade leather journals and say, "Your gifts are always so beautiful"? And there's nothing wrong with that! We give gifts out of love, and love should make us feel warm and happy when reflected back to us.

So, now that we've admitted that it's fun and satisfying to give unusual gifts like vintage jewelry, what kinds of birthday gifts or Christmas gifts are likely to prove your creative nature? Keep in mind anyone can pick up a box of chocolates and a dozen roses. To be seen as as warm and loving, we must take the time to buy gifts that suit the recipient.

For the women in your life, choosing cameo lockets tells them "I recognize your classic beauty." Should you go to the trouble of selectingcameo rings to match those vintage lockets, they'll be overwhelmed by your generosity. They'll also know you're clever, as well as thoughtful, when you find just the right nature leaf jewelry to complement their personal style. Remember, a boring gift-giver grabs something off the shelf; someone destined to be famous for their gifts takes the time to get it right.

For the men in your life, you can't go wrong with pocket watches. Whether they're the outdoorsman who'd appreciate a classic hunting case watch to keep the face undamaged or a fashion-forward man who'd love a stylish timepiece, they'll remember your thoughtfulness.

So let's remember as we're buying gifts this year that, while giving gifts isn't all about us, those gifts do reflect on who we are. Being thoughtful enough to select a gift like vintage jewelry tells the world you're one amazing gift-giver!
