Jewelry Adds a Personal Touch

People love opening gifts. There’s something special about unwrapping that burgundy bow on a Shane Co. jewelry box. They’ll know that you picked out their jewelry just for them and their unique taste.

If you want to make their piece extra special, consider adding an engraving that represents something sentimental to them. You can also select a piece with their birthstone or a symbolic charm. A personal touch goes a long way.

Considering a gift card instead? Gift cards can also be thoughtful, as you’re putting the choice in their hands to pick out something they love. Include a handmade card to make it more personal.
