Gift Guide: Accessories

December 8th, 2008 by crystal
Accessories are a safe gift option. A girl never has too many accessories! And, you’re less likely to duplicate something your friend or family member already has. You don’t have to worry about size, and style, though still important to consider, comes into play a bit less than if you were buying clothes.
For how to buy other people clothes, read this post.
Buying accessories as gifts can be tricky because you’ll have a tendency to buy more. At least I do.

How to Buy Accessories

1. Determine your price limit
Before you go shopping, determine how much you plan to spend. As you’re shopping, you might find the perfect accessory that falls right at your limit. Or, you might find a few things that add up to your limit. The important thing is to stop buying accessories once you’ve hit your limit.
2. Consider Style
Find something that will complement your friend’s style. The best accessories are ones that can be worn with many different outfits. You don’t want your gift to end up in the back of a closet!
3. Choose Complementing Accessories
If you buy more than one accessory, choose pieces that go together. This helps give your gift a theme and prevents it from looking too hodgepodge.

Jewelry is always a good idea. You can get quite a few inexpensive pieces that go together. Or, you can opt for something a bit pricier and give it alone. The ’sentimental necklace’ pictured above is just one example of the necklaces dogeared offers. There is also a necklace for ’sister’, ‘best mom’, peace’, ‘daughter’, etc.
