Valentine’s Day: The stores are all packed wall to wall with “stuff” that has hearts on it…big hearts, little hearts and hearts entwined with arrows sticking through them. All jewelry stores have many choices in many price ranges. The trick here is to choose a piece of jewelry…with hearts on it…and do it without sending you into bankruptcy. What you should buy and how much you should spend depends on what your relationship is with the lady or man in question, your financial situation, your age and your intentions.
• You may have no idea where this relationship is going, but you want to let your Valentine know that you like them…you should probably include a single rose in a vase with a piece of jewelery. Again…there are many jewelry choices.
• Remembering that the thought does count but how committed you are to the relationship is directly related to the price tag of the piece of jewelry you select, look for a piece of jewelry that can be engraved with your name and the name of your Valentine friend. Engraving is a biggie! It is like writing your love in stone. Don’t spend more more than you can afford.
• If you and your Valentine have have been with for two years or more and are fairly certain that he or she will be your husband or wife and the mother or father of your children, you need to go to a jewelry store…no discount store is allowed…and choose a piece of jewelry that reflects your intentions.
• Valentine’s Day is a romantic day for men and one that will be easily remembered as the day you proposed marriage….so an engagement ring is not out of the question. If you do choose to buy “THE RING” and ask your lady for her hand in marriage, be prepared to spend more than a few bucks.
Here are the questions you should ask yourself before venturing out on the Valentine’s Day gift shopping expedition:
1. “Do I know her tastes well enough to buy a personalized gift?”
2. What is your budget? Financial troubles as a result of overspending on Valentine’s Day are not going to help your romantic life.
3. Always be classy. You don’t have to spend a fortune to achieve style.
