Pay Attention to Her Style

Listen Actively

- “I love those earrings!”: Did she ever point out a specific piece in a shop window? This practically will give you the gift blueprint!
- “I wish I had…”: If she has mentioned something she would buy “if only…” (budget is often the main factor), you can become her wish-granter and buy the jewelry for her.
- Enthusiastic Praise: Did she go starry-eyed over a friend’s new bag or gadget? Do pay attention to these moments of genuine “I want that!” — and you can buy the same gift and surprise her.
