What’s our favourite part about the holidays? Christmas movie marathons, spiked eggnog, Mariah Carey crooning All I Want for Christmas Is You… this list could go on.
What’s the hardest part? Picking out Secret Santa gifts for friends that are actually appreciated and won’t land up in next year’s gift exchange.
We get it; nailing holiday plans and outfits is hard, but gift-hunting can be truly exhausting. We’d be lying if we say we haven’t ever found ourselves pacing the aisles of a Target store, trying to find a halfway decent present an hour before a Secret Santa gift exchange. That’s why, this year, we’re doing things differently and we think you should too. Yes, we’re recommending customised gemstone jewellery gifts that not just fit the budget, but also come express-shipped to your doorstep in super luxe packaging. One thing’s for sure, you’re going to be putting the best-looking present under the tree.
So, snuggle up and scroll through the sparkliest Christmas jewellery gift recommendations for everyone on your gift list (including the book club friend you don’t quite know yet). In short, we’ve done the work; now all you have to do is keep these Secret Santa gift ideas handy and get your friend, sister or colleague a gift that will leave her smiling ear-to-ear.
P.S. Don’t forget to look befuddled while she tries to figure out who her mystery Santa is!
The Secret Santa Gift Guide to Bring Delight to Anyone on Your List
1. For One Of Your Closest Girls
AKA the Monica to your Rachel. She’s been your go-to gal through the years and she deserves to know just how much she means to you. So, this Christmas, swap out the sweet little friendship band for the real deal. We’re thinking our Bezel-Set Sapphire and Diamond Evil Eye Bracelet to set your friendship in stone and also reel in those good vibes. We bet she’ll love wearing this one solo or with her stack.
Another sweet option for your best girl is a pair of our Diamond Wavy Ear Climbers with Milgrain. They are the perfect blend of classic-meets-quirky and can be customised in white, yellow or rose gold. Neat, huh?
2. For A Member Of The Family
If it’s your mom you’re shopping for, only something extra sparkly should make the cut. Think gemstone tennis bracelets like our popular Bezel-Set Aquamarine and Diamond Tennis Bracelet for your #1 cheerleader. You’ll also find this style in ruby, emerald and sapphire. Whatever you pick, she’s sure to love it.
Now for that little sis who’s spent way too much time rummaging through your jewellery box, how about you return the favor? Gift her a statement piece you won’t mind borrowing yourself, like our Pavé-Set Emerald and Diamond Horseshoe Pendant. A symbol of good luck and protection, we hear this piece is on several wishlists this season. We won’t be surprised if it’s on hers.
3. For A Colleague At The Office
Spending eight hours a day, Monday to Friday in an office can be pretty ‘meh’, but it’s your coworkers who often make it worthwhile. (Okay, we won’t completely discount the paycheque.) Make the holidays extra special for that someone who’s become your second family with a fine jewellery gift. And no, you don’t have to break the bank for it.
Our Solitaire Freshwater Pearl Twist Rope Studs are a classy but budget-friendly option for a close work friend, while this strikingly chic East-West Emerald-Cut London Blue Topaz Solitaire Pendant will really make a mark with the boss lady you admire. She’s sure to add it to her rotation before the year ends.
4. For Someone In Your Women’s Group
You met them at church, Lamaze class or your kids’ school, and now you can’t quite live without your supportive sisterhood. For one of the lovely ladies you’ve had about a zillion cups of coffee and heart-to-hearts with, we recommend something meaningful, like our Pink Sapphire Open Circle Eternity Pendant that represents your circle of trust. It’s so elegant and gorgeous… what’s not to love?
You could also consider a pair of trendy earrings like the Spectra Channel-Set Square Multi-Sapphire J-Hoop Earrings. Whether she wears them to brunch or while doing errands, she’s sure to channel those *feel-good* vibes whenever she slips them on.
5. For A Book Club Or Gym Buddy
This one’s a toughie, but we think we’ve cracked the perfect gift for that *brand new* friend you met at book club or the gym. You don’t know much about her, but your gift doesn’t need to show it.
Our choice is the Bezel-Set Round Citrine Solitaire Pendant or the Horizontally Set Emerald-Cut Morganite Bolo Bracelet. Both designs are elegant and the gemstones say so much. Citrine has this sunshiny energy that makes it perfect for gifting, while morganite is a stone of self-love.
Be prepared for an ‘OMG! I love it’ reaction.
Now tell us; did you find the perfect jewellery gift in this Secret Santa gift guide? Go on, order it on Angara.com, put a bow on it and call it a wrap. Also, as our gift to you, we have free extended returns all the way, but we doubt your friends and fam would need it.
Happy Holidays!
