Valentine’s Day
7 small gifts for the girlfriend who hates a fuss
She does not want the restaurant with the violin. She wants one small thing that shows you were paying attention. Here are seven.
-
For the one who likes a small surprise
A clover necklace that opens into hearts
Four hearts on a chain that snap together into a four-leaf clover. Two looks, one small box, no speech required.
-
For the one who wears one necklace every day
A double-heart pendant
A small gold-tone heart inside a heart, on a fine chain. Quiet enough for every day, which is where the best jewelry ends up.
-
For the one who is a little bit of a witch
A moon pendant that glows
A crescent moon holding a stone that glows blue-green in the dark. Leave it in daylight to charge. Do not ask what she uses it for.
-
For the one with no piercings and no regrets
A butterfly ear cuff
A row of sparkling butterflies that hooks over the ear. No piercing needed. It looks like far more trouble than it was.
-
For the one who says flowers just die
A rose and a necklace in an apple box
A rose that keeps under a clear lid, with a necklace in the drawer below. The flower lasts. The argument is over.
-
For the one who notices the small details
A wire-wrapped stone pendant
A pale, milky stone held in a twist of fine wire, on a thin chain. It is small enough to miss, and she will know that you did not.
-
For the one who likes her name on things
An initial ring
An open ring with her initial and one small stone. It adjusts, so you do not have to guess her size and get it wrong.
