How to choose the perfect gift for her? Let's start like this: Pay close attention to the details - things she mentions on a daily basis, a type of item that she looks at more intensely when you go shopping for example. Also you need to observe her style, like what kind of jewellery or clothes does she wear? Check if she has a wishlist on a website that she regularly orders from. You can use that as inspiration or ask her to make a wishlist for you that you can pick from. There will still be a little surprise, because it is up to you to make the final choice. Check out the HIITU-Wishlist option here. If you feel confident to go full speed ahead and pick something yourself, keep reading!

AND NOW LET'S GET TO THE HOW TO’S:
How to find the correct ring size...
- Look at her hands, does she have big or small hands/fingers?
- Take one of her rings to compare sizes, you can trace the inside of the ring to get a somewhat appropriate diameter

- Ask a friend if they know her size
- Ask for her size pretending to buy a ring for someone else and needing comparison
- Usually a medium sized ring is a good option, she could put it on several fingers
How to find a fitting jewelry colour/size...
Think about what kind of skin tone she has:
- She has a cool skin tone if her veins are blue. Her hair is probably blonde, dark brown, or black. Her eyes are most likely light blue or brown. She would also fit into this category if she burns easily or if her skin is a pale shade or shows signs of redness. In this case red, purple, blue and white metals (silver or white gold) usually work well.
- She has a warm skin tone if her veins are greener. Her hair is probably red or light blonde. Her eyes are most likely bright blue, green, or hazel. You can also tell if she has a warm tone if she tans easily or her skin is ebony or espresso coloured. In this case yellow, orange, red colours and yellow metals (brass, yellow gold) usually work well.
- She has a neutral skin tone if her skin has no obvious espresso, olive, or redness in color. Neutral skin tones tend to fit in with the cool skin tone category.
Now think about what kind of jewellery style she likes and tends to wear more often:
- Does she wear eye catching jewellery?
- Does she chose statement colours or neutral tones?
- If she is petite then smaller jewellery might suite her more where as if she is a tall woman a bigger statement pieces could work nicely.
Most importantly, it must be something that you think she could wear and feel comfortable with. Base it on her style, but don’t be shy to get her something completely different if she is willing to try new things.
How to find the right bag:
- Think about the bags she already owns, what kind of style do they have? Does she prefer big or smaller bags? Does she have a lot of bags of a certain type?
- If she owns mostly big bags does she really need another big bag? Maybe you could get her something smaller but with a similar style?
- Think about the materials she likes, does she prefer leather or cotton? Does she prefer real or fake leather?
- Does she prefer fancy or casual bags?
Good luck with finding the perfect present for your lady. Just try to have fun with it and listen to your gut! ☺
