Instructions

    • 1

      Put yourself in your spouse's shoes. Would they enjoy a traditional gift or a more modern one?

    • 2

      Assess your budget as well as their tastes.

    • 3

      Look around at specialty shops, department stores, Web sites and catalogs.

    • 4

      Think about jade jewelry, sculptures or carvings. Asian shops and artists tend to be especially partial to jade, so start there.

    • 5

      Shop around; jade comes in many shades and qualities. Think earrings, bracelets and the like for her - or for him, if he's partial to jade jewelry.

    • 6

      Enclose a gift card.

    • 7

      Wrap and deliver your gift in person if possible.

Tips & Warnings

  • Be creative. Other interpretations might include jade trees in a beautiful pot, engraved paperweights, sculptures or carvings. Check out vintage and antique shops, too.

  • If you decide to go traditional and choose coral, try jewelry shops as well as museum catalogs, or rock and mineral shops. Maybe a goldfish bowl with coral stones?

  • Allow enough time to order from catalogs, engrave gifts, and ship.
