Even those who claim to dislike surprises are most probably referring to the kinks in the proverbial walk of life, or perhaps, surprise party surprises. Almost everybody likes surprises that come in little boxes, wrapped or decorated with ribbons. And probably the most perfect gifts for the giver and receiver is the gift of silver jewellery.

Silver jewelery is the ideal gift. While not extravagant, it’s mentally valuable and will have sentimental in addition to fashion value. Make sure you choose the highest quality of handmade silver jewellery.

Many jewelers or aspiring craftsmen may not at all times choose the best materials or make sure that all the materials they use are of the highest quality. It is essential that you shop – particularly online – from a reliable, certified and quality website.

Fortunately, silver jewellery comes in all styles and kinds and there is sort of something for each man, woman, and even child. For men, there are silver cufflinks, tie clips, bracelets and chains. For women, there are hairpins, earrings, necklaces, pendants, brooches, bracelets (chains or solid, charms or ornaments), rings (for fingers or toes) and anklets. There are silver belt buckles or shoe accents for men and ladies. Choose silver jewellery made by the world’s best artisan craftsmen.

In giving gifts, you are likely to please the recipient not only because you have chosen charming and quality silver jewellery, but because of the care and attention in your approach, and how do you choose items. If you know the recipient well, you can add to their collection, with items that match or even match what they have already got. Again, if you know the recipient well, you know if you can (or cannot) give them something “different” from what they’re used to receiving. This means if someone only wears rings, you might consider buying them a bracelet or necklace.

Here are some ideas for making your gift presentation a genuine surprise.

Get a small oven-safe glass box and place the silver jewellery in it and bake it into a cupcake or cake. It may be hotter than you should be on your silverware, but so can you

… put it in a small box, wrap it up, place the box in a small zip plastic bag and hide it between a bouquet of flowers, or under a cake plate

… put it at the bottom of a big box crammed with helium balloons. When the recipient opens the box, the balloon will rise, revealing your gift’s silver jewellery.

If you only have one balloon, you can put silver jewelery inside, blow it up with helium and write “Pop Me” on the balloon – just ensure you tell the recipient not to “pop” the balloon on the metal ramp. grate or balcony of the second floor.

Treasure Hunt: Give the recipient a screw-top mason jar and inside the jar, place Hershey’s Kisses or other wrapped candy. Tell them there’s a surprise. The surprise is that you have removed one of the wrappers and wrapped your gift and mixed it into the jar.
