1. There’s a big difference between 14 karat gold and gold-plated jewelry. Fourteen karat (14K) jewelry contains 14 parts of gold, mixed in throughout with 10 parts of base metal. Gold-plated describes jewelry with a layer of at least 10K gold bonded to a base metal. Gold plating eventually wears away, depending on how often the item is worn and how thick the plating is.
2. If you’re buying a watch, determine whether you want one that runs on a battery or one that must be wound daily. Ask if a warranty or guarantee is included, how long it lasts, and what parts and repair problems it covers. Also ask how and where you can get the watch serviced and repaired.
3. Know the difference between laboratory-created gemstones and naturally mined stones. Stones created in the lab are visually identical to stones mined from the earth. The big difference is in the cost: laboratory-created stones are less expensive then naturally mined stones. But because they look much like stones mined from the earth, they must be identified as lab-created. If you want a naturally mined stone, ask if it has been treated. Gemstone treatments– such as heating, dyeing or bleaching– can improve a stone’s appearance or durability. Some treatments are permanent; some may create special care requirements. Treatments also may affect the stone’s value.
4. Ask whether pearls are imitation or real. Real pearls are made by oysters or other mollusks; imitation pearls are man-made. Cultured pearls are made by mollusks with human intervention; and irritant introduced into their shells causes a pearl to grow. Real pearls that are not cultured are fairly rare and expensive. The cost depends on the size, usually stated in millimeters, and the coating or “nacre” on a real pearl, which gives it its iridescence.
5. When you’re buying a diamond, consider four criteria: cut, color, clarity and weight, usually stated as carats. Each factor affects the price. Color is sometimes “graded” on a scale. However, scales are not uniform: a “D” may be the best color for one scale, but not for another. Make sure you know how a particular scale and grade represent the color of the diamond you’re considering. A diamond can be described as “flawless” only if it has no visible surface cracks or other imperfections when viewed under 10-power magnification by a skilled diamond grader.
6. Everybody is fascinated by their birthstones, here is a list of the commonly accepted birthstones for each month.
January Garnet-Dark Red

March Aquamarine-Pale Blue
April Diamond-Clear
May Emerald-Deep Green
June Pearl-Pearly White
July Ruby-Red
August Peridot-Light Green
September Sapphire-Deep Blue
October Opal-Multicolor
November Citrine-Yellow
December Blue Topaz-Blue

The most important thing to pay attention to when picking out gifts for women is what kind of things they like. That seems like an easy place to begin. Does she collect things? Picking an item that will enhance a collection she has been working on will always be a welcome gift. How about going one step further with that, and enroll her in a “collection of the month club”. Most of today’s popular items being collected have programs for this.
What hobbies does she enjoy? Get something that will make her hobby more enjoyable for her. For example, if she travels, get a nice leather carry on bag. Then fill the bag with luxury spa items to help her unwind at her destination. To make it even more special, include some chocolate or other travel snacks that she can enjoy during her trip.
What is her lifestyle like? Career oriented women will always appreciate luxury items for their desk or office. A desktop fountain is beautiful and continues to give her the gift of stress reduction by providing the soothing sound of water. Another wonderful idea is a picture, of you of course! Get a gorgeous frame that will fit on her desk or locker. To make that idea even more unique, include her pets and/or children in the picture with you. She will love to look at that when she is at work and will also enjoy showing it off! A word of caution though, if the gift you are buying is for your sweetheart on Valentines Day or an Anniversary more personal/intimate gifts are required.
Speaking of romantic occasions, you can never go wrong with jewelry, flowers, and chocolate! For a unique gift, get flowers and candles, put them in the bathroom and get her a luxury spa set. Use the products from the spa set on her yourself. With the candles lit and the smell of flowers in the air, take your time and bathe her in luxury. After that, every time she uses the spa products, she will also have the gift of a very special memory to enjoy!
When picking jewelry out for a woman, always keep her style in mind. If she is conservative, buy more conservative jewelry, such as pearls. For a more unique twist, gift her with black pearls, or other colors that would be special for her. If she’s more on the wild side, get trendier jewelry. A belly chain might be a fun idea! To make giving a jewelry gift more special, plan an event. For giving her fine jewelry, such as gold or diamonds, take her to a nice restaurant. Or, go on a picnic, even in your own living room and give her more casual jewelry. Every time she puts the jewelry on, she will remember the special time you shared together.
Comfort items are always a sure bet. A very unique gift would be a tea stone that she can cherish and enjoy for years to come. This is a great gift idea if you are looking for something for your mother, sister, or coworker. Pick a stone that is special to her, or her birthstone. Get some loose tea to include with the gift so she can enjoy it right away. Better still; include a teacup and saucer, or even a cozy comforter that she can wrap up in while she enjoys her tea. This is a gift that will put a smile on her face and improve her health!
Gift baskets make a perfect gift for every woman! They are general by nature, so if you are getting one for your romantic partner, include an event along with the basket. Have the event fit the theme of the basket. If it’s a spa basket, give her a full body massage along with it. If it’s a gourmet food basket, prepare the treats and hand feed them to her at a candle lit table. If it’s a romantic gift basket, let your own imagination tell you what to do with that one!
I hope this article inspires your creativity and reduces some of the stress of gift giving away. The last idea I’m going to leave you with is to keep a calendar of special events that you need to have gifts ready for. Start to look for and plan your gift giving at least two weeks before the event so you have time to find the perfect gift for her. If you are shopping online, you may want to start even a month in advance. Some items are special order, or you might want to get them engraved and will need the extra time to plan on this.
Remember the best gift of all is the time and attention you give her. Those are some gifts that no women will ever be able to resist! If you would like more suggestions, or help planning a special gift for the women in your life, please email me anytime.

Top Ten Baby Gifts
Baby Toys - These are baby gifts that will never go out of style, and can be actually enjoyed by the baby instead of the parents. There are baby toys that are specifically designed for certain age groups. So, all one has to do is go to the market and buy a toy that is made for the appropriate age, which is put up on the cover or packing of the toy. But the best and the most liked baby toy is a teddy bear or other soft toy, which is appropriate for babies of all ages. So if there is confusion, it is best to buy baby gift toys that are soft and plush.
Baby Monitor - Baby safety is constantly on the minds of the parents. Baby monitors are a perfect solution to end this worry. Now it's possible to monitor and detect the movements, whining and breathing of the baby audibly and visually too. There are many different models of audio-only, audio/video, and motion-sensor baby monitors to choose from in a wide price range.
Baby Bath Care - Getting an expensive bath care set for the baby is the perfect way to show that you care about the welfare of the baby.
Baby Stroller - This a device that a parent cannot do without. It has to be bought anyway, so why not save the parents that much cash? Gift it instead of something that is completely unnecessary.
Baby Books - Gifting the baby with books, appropriate for his/her age, is always good. This actually helps in developing a joy of reading from a very young age. Pictures and colors fascinate the baby's eyes, so make sure your book has a lot of illustrations. Buy baby gift books that have thick, cardboard or other material for durability.
Baby Blankets and Sleep Kits - Getting a cozy baby blanket and other sleep accessories is a perfect way of celebrating the baby's arrival. These days, it is possible to customize the baby blankets. A personalized baby blanket is a truly unique gift. They are available in many colors, materials and designs. The next time you need to buy baby gift items, consider a personalized baby blanket!
Baby Clothes - Smart clothes for the baby will definitely make the parents happy, especially if it's the second child. The baby will be spared from using hand-me-downs! These days, baby clothing is given a lot of importance, and one is likely to find beautifully made baby clothes in the market, keeping in mind the contemporary trends in fashion. To buy baby gift items that are useful, always consider baby clothes.
Baby Bedding - This will include everything from the mattress to the blanket and pillows, as well as the mosquito netting.
Baby Bouncers - Baby bouncers are the baby's sitting place, where he/she can roll and bounce and have the time of his/her life. These are somewhat like a bean bag, with a belt, to ensure the safety of the baby. Buy baby gift bouncers or other mobile-type walker since parents need an item like this.
Baby Jewels - A jewel is a priceless gift that will be cherished for a lifetime. They also make a unique baby gift. There are many websites online which are dedicated to baby accessories that carry baby jewelry and have their items displayed online. They also ship and home deliver the items, so that you don't need to go out and purchase them.
When you have to buy baby gift items, the above choices are always winners!

Now, the gift of laughter has many faces. The gift can be sharing a joke with another human being or it can be enjoyed solely by the wearer of the funny t-shirt. For instance, many funny t-shirt websites now have a line of offensive or rude t-shirts that are meant to shock the other party who reads them. The one who purchases and wears this funny t-shirt enjoys the reaction of others.
Funny t-shirts can also make social or political statements as well. Two terms of the current President have spawned all sorts of hilarity at his expense. Of course, many others would argue that he’s brought all this ridicule upon himself. No matter, funny t-shirts are about delivering a message and about personal identity.
When one wears a funny t-shirt they are stating, “This is who I am and this is what I believe”. Funny t-shirts are also a good way to break the ice in a social situation. Men and women no longer have to struggle with cheesy pick-up lines as they can simply state their interests on a funny tee. For instance, a t-shirt that reads, “Quick! I need a naked nurse” or “I’m in touch with my horniness emotion” may just tell the opposite sex of your interests.
Funny t-shirts have also turned vintage. Graphics of those from yesteryear spouting puns, irony and dirty slogans have been popular of late. Humorous graphics from the 1920’s to the 1970’s are generally used to deliver the funny messages.
Some funny t-shirts are all about the message and contain no funny graphics whatsoever. The concept and joke or pun is the key to the humor in these t-shirt designs. These designs may include some minimal design work like fun with fonts, drop shadows, colors and outlines, but verbal message is the most important element in these types of funny tees.
All-in-all, funny t-shirts are a great way to get the message of laughter out. Share a joke with a family member, friend or coworker today just by dropping a funny tee on yourself. It’s a lot more fun than wearing a “kick me” sign on your back and generally no animal testing is done when producing the tees.
