Gift giving shouldn’t be so hard. Showing someone else that you care about them should be an effortless act — like hugging. But, of course, it never works out that way. In fact, even hugging can be fraught. Am I going over with my arms? Nope, under. Annnnd now my face is crushed into your sunglasses.
Even if you’re buying it as a gift for yourself, this Pacific Pearl necklace/bracelet/earring set is as close to a “foolproof gift” as jewelry comes. A simple string of pearls has proven to be as timeless as blue jeans. Everybody needs a simple pair of jeans. And everyone (who wears jewelry) needs a simple string of pearls.
It’s the gifting equivalent of a fist bump — simple, elegant, and almost impossible to mess up.
Sticking out your hand in a social situation can mean so many things. Are you opening yourself for a hugging motion? Are you going for a handshake? A high five? One of those handshakes that then turns into a sort of bro-clutch? You’re setting yourself up for disaster.
Stick with fist bumps and pearl jewelry. You can’t screw them up …
… for the most part.
