A piece of jewelry is the perfect gift. Places like Pandora, Kendra Scott, and Kate Spade have great options. From Pandora, a customizable charm bracelet is a heart felt and sentimental gift. Kendra Scott sells a Heart Pendant necklace in a variety of colors, adding the matching Heart earrings or the heart bracelet to make it a whole set. Finally, Kate Spade offers many items, but their initial charm bracelet is a cute piece. If buying for your significant other, buying the bracelet with your initials on it adds a personal touch.When buying jewelry for someone, it is very important to know what metal they prefer. Pay attention to whether they wear gold, silver, or rose gold jewelry on a daily basis to know what color you should buy for them. Getting them the correct color will show them you care and pay attention to them.
Headphones
Another versatile gift is a pair of nice headphones. It’s a gift that anyone can use and enjoy. If the person you’re shopping for likes earbuds and something simple, Apple Airpods or Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are perfect. If they go to the gym a lot or like to go on runs listening to music, over the head wireless bluetooth headphones are a better option and won’t fall off as easily as earbuds. The Soundcore Anker Life Q20 Hybrid active noise canceling headphones are an affordable and high quality option. They are cute with a long battery life and fit comfortably on the head and over the ears, but the speakers sound heavier on the bass. They also come with a charger, a cord to connect to a device if necessary, and a travel case. A pricier but worth it option are Sony Mid Range Noise Canceling headphones. They are lightweight and comfortable, include Bluetooth and 35 hours of battery life. These do not include a carrying case.
Sweat set
