Gift-giving is a tricky art. Not only are there a million variables to consider (your relationship to the person, their personal tastes, what they got
you for your last birthday/holiday); you've also gotta work on a budget. And as much as I like
receiving gift cards, I couldn't feel like more of a cop-out giving one. All things considered, this is going to be a tough one. She's been one of my best friends since kindergarten (yikes!), and the last two gifts she got me were a lovely bracelet from Paris and a framed print of one of her original designs (double yikes). So here's what I'm pondering:
Etsy is a wonderful little market of handmade treasures and trinkets, world wide web style. Jeanskipper creates some wonderful jewelry, including this
handstamped pendant necklace. They can also be made to order; I'm thinking of getting one engraved with some silly inside joke from our elementary school days. It's just the sort of quirky, sentimental token she'd enjoy - and I'd love to give.
