“There’s no doubt that something sparkly is sure to more than satisfy everyone on your gift list. What better way to show your nearest and dearest that you’re thinking of them. Pick a piece that elicits an emotion … when you know, you know. Ask yourself would this bring this person joy? Would this make them feel my love?”
