For monumental events, classic jewelry is the perfect gift. It will remind her of the event and YOU for years and years to come whenever she puts the piece on...does it get any better than this?

So with this, why not kick off her wedding planning bliss by buying her first "something blue" in the form of a gemstone?  Purchasing from an established retailer like Tiffany or Cartier is no doubt the best option if doing so is within your budget. The guaranteed quality and timelessness of their styles can be worth the premium when gifting. We particularly like these Soleste earrings, however, we have also provided some alternatives below.

Buying jewelry from an established retailer like Tiffany or Cartier is always a great option if doing so is within your budget. The guaranteed quality and timelessness of their styles can be worth the premium when gifting. We particularly like these pearl earrings because although they are quite expensive, they are very substantial! We listed some less expensive (and also beautiful options) in the expandable section below!

No caption needed!  Such a cool gift!

Yes, you can chalk it up to a marketing gimmick, but none the less, Cartier's love collection has become an aspirational want of many women.  The collection is famous because the signature bangle can only be taken off with a miniature screwdriver. Therefore, the giver of the bracelet essentially locks themselves to the recipient, since the bracelet cannot be taken off easily.

There are pieces in the love collection priced as high as $30,000, but this pendant is at one of the entry price-points.

We are convinced there is something magical about the Loro Piana roadster half-zip cashmere sweater....it looks great on EVERYONE! 

With its price, it should be no surprise that it truly is a special piece that will be in his wardrobe for the rest of his life if he keeps it away from moths!  

Some additional advice #1:  If you are located in a city with a Neiman Marcus, we suggest you buy at the store rather than online since gift wrapping is free in-store.  

Some additional additional advice #2:  If you are located in a city that has a Loro Piana outlet nearby, you might want to head there first, as the roadster is a classic silhouette that they typically have for a reduced price at their outlet locations! Call the outlet ahead of time to make sure!

When a female receives a piece of luxury on their birthday, it's very, very, unlikely she will complain.  However, for the giver, this is not really "good news" as luxury products are expensive!   

We have a solution (well, sort of)...go for the luxury shoes!  Luxury shoes are definitely less expensive than luxury jewelry or handbags and can be equally timeless.  We particularly love the idea of giving a classic chanel ballet flat.  We promise this shoe won't go out of style and can be incorporated into any female's wardrobe.  Alternative shoe options also listed below.

Oh, and one more tip...

Do you recall that Marilyn Monroe quote "Give the girl the right pair of shoes and she can conquer the world?".  Yeah, we thought you probably didn't.  But anyway, the point is, why don't you weave this quote somewhere into the card to show how clever you are!

Finally...

In regard to where to buy.  We strongly suggest you purchase from a retail store rather than online!  Why?  Because the only online outlet that actually sells Chanel shoes is Chanel itself.  It is a better idea to buy from Saks or Neiman Marcus.  Some Nordstroms or Bloomingdale also carry them.  This allows the recipient to re-shop the gift with larger optionality, should she return the shoes.

No doubt Hermes is universally known as a high-end brand.  But did you know they have an entire leather and enamel jewelry line that is more reasonably priced.

In regards of where to buy...we strongly suggest you purchase from a retail store rather than online!  Why?  Because the only online outlet that actually sells Hermes Jewelry is Hermes itself.  It is a better idea to buy from Saks or Neiman Marcus since the recipient will then have the option to purchase something else should they opt to return the jewelry.

This clutch can be personalized two ways. 1) You can choose to embellish the bag with monogrammed initials. 2) You can inscribe a hidden handwritten message on the inside of the bag (as seen in image #2).  We think this is the perfect gift for a husband or close relative to gift the bride on her wedding day!

Luxury shoes are definitely less expensive than luxury jewelry or handbags and can be equally timeless.  We particularly love the idea of giving a classic Chanel ballet flat.  We promise this shoe won't go out of style and can be incorporated into any female's wardrobe.  Alternative classic designer shoe options listed below.

Chloe

Ferragamo

Tory Burch

Finally...

In regard to where to buy.  We strongly suggest you purchase the shoes in store at a department store rather than online!  Why?  Because the only online store that sells Chanel shoes is Chanel itself, which means if she doesn't like the shoes, she will only be able to use the credit within the Chanel online store.  It is a better idea to buy in store from Saks or Neiman Marcus, therefore, should she want to return the gift, she will have larger re-shop optionality!
