Appropriate gifts

August 22nd, 2008

I’m one of those people who try to get appropriate gifts for people and ones that they’d not think of getting for themselves. It doesn’t really seem like a gift to me if it’s something that you’d have bought for yourself anyway.

So something like Tahitian pearls are particularly interesting. Unlike gold or diamonds, pearls are one of those things that don’t really have a commercial value as such or at least not one that’s not jewelry related at any rate. They’re also something that you’d not really expect to be wearing all the time and are that little bit more unusual for that thus fitting the bill of being a relatively unique gift which is itself unusual these days.
