If you want to make a great impression and give them something they'll actually use and enjoy, forget about the gift basket with a bottle of champagne and a sausage log. It's time to think outside the basket and go for something a little more original. As a real estate agent, I like to give a gift to my clients when we close an escrow, and lately I've fallen into the rut of giving Home Depot gift cards. And while these are great gifts for anyone who owns a house, and are especially easy to buy when you're short on time, they're a little impersonal and predictable. They also scream 'Sorry, I just couldn't think of anything else to get you'. Guilty as charged. Here's a few unique gift ideas that are sure to please and maybe even surprise your friends or clients.... ...Another great website is NOVICA.com, which features worldwide fine art and home decor. Their mission is to 'create a bridge between you and the many talented artisans across the globe'. Art is very subjective, and unless you know exactly what your friend loves, it might be a good idea to give a gift certificate. Gift certificates start at $30.00 and go as high as $1000.00 for those really, really good friends. Top Print Send ITEMS IN CART Your cart is currently empty.

Georgene of Heartbeat Designs
Carly What types of jewelry or other gifts are traditionally the most popular for Valentine's Day? And how about trends?
Monya We find that men's bracelets are really hot right now as well as our amethyst and garnet rings for women. Designer watch selections have also been very popular. Our silver jewelry by Anixi is a wonderful seller throughout the year, but is a definite favorite for Valentine's Day.
Debra Hearts are always a favorite. Dangles are fun and playful. For the latest trend, take a look at media events or award shows. Movies or television shows with underlying romantic themes generally reflect the popularity of a particular style-or look. Ultimately, what works is what you like.
Make the gift personal. It may sound laughable, but please, no blenders, food processors, toasters or any other utilitarian items unless there is a special story that accompanies them. The kind of story that, a year from now, she will recall with a smile.
Margot Heart-shaped jewelry is a classic gift that women appreciate any time of the year, not just for Valentine's Day. The heart symbol is the universal symbol of love and is appropriate for daughters, wives, mothers, and grandmothers. How could a guy go wrong by giving the ladies in his life sentimental jewelry?
Joan I find that vintage jewelry in general is hot now. Charms and charm bracelets seem to be hot sellers, along with chunky rings. You can't go wrong with anything romantic, such as heart pins and lockets, rose or flower bouquet jewelry, bows and cupids. Jewelry keeps its luster long after the flowers and candy are gone.
Georgene A heart design is classic, and will always be the most popular choice for Valentine's Day because it is the universal symbol of love. Toggle heart and Swarovski crystal gemstone bracelets are hot this year.
