The coolest girlfriend gift ideas

Shhhh… Today were going to let you in on a little secret. We’ve been doing a lot of online shopping recently and we’ve discovered some really nifty and meaningful gift ideas.

The reason they’re special is because these gifts provide a small but authentic connection with the artisans who create them. This connection gives these gifts more meaning. And when you’re giving to that special someone in your life, added thoughtfulness and meaning should be paramount.

Special wife, sister and girlfriend gift ideas

As you know, we’re all about candle holders and our holiday gift guide has some exceptional gift ideas at prices that fit every budget.

But what if your special someone requests something special? Would it be unusual if they requested jewelry or clothing?  I don’t think so. Allow us to share with you a few of the surprising extras we received with one of our own recent holiday gift purchases from Novica.com

We settled on a pair of earrings for one of my difficult-to-buy-for siblings. We opted for the free gift wrap that was available for this item. The package arrived and we opened it to discover the magnificent grouping you see at left. Click the image for closer look.

Wow! The gift came in a beautiful and luxurious fabric covered box with a black satin interior where the earrings reside. In addition to the FREE gift wrapped package there was a clever little booklet that introduces the designer as well as a short story about the materials the earrings are crafted from. And, as if all this weren’t enough, there was also a hand written message on the back of a lovely postcard directly from the artist. Beautiful …and meaningful!
