"A Little Something" Is A Very Good Thing

“We're going away for the holidays, so I don't really need a gift.”

How lovely! And when your beloved hands you your gift, you just smile and say, “Well, the trip is my gift.” 

Fade to sunset.

Does that ever work? Sure. It works really, really well--if you also use an "under-the-pillow" gift. 

“What’s an ‘under-the-pillow’ gift, pray tell?”

I thought you'd never ask. An under-the-pillow gift is a surprise gift. You've already said you're not exchanging gifts, or the trip is a gift, or just being together is a gift.

All fine. And people still like to receive gifts--especially surprise gifts. 

So just before bed, you place a little box under the pillow. (If it's still there when you're ready to leave the next day, then just say something like, “Oh, drat. I can't find my favorite pen. I was writing something in bed. Could you see if you can find it?” Then wait for the “Wow!”)

“Okay, I get it. What goes in the box?”

It could be a pair of pretty earrings--a lot of folks like martini earrings. Gemstone earrings are also perfect. Or maybe she'd like a solitaire pendant, or a tennis bracelet?  

Stuller is a great source for all of the above--plus we have handcrafted jewelry in porcelain, Venetian glass, Swarovski crystal, and gemstones. To see Stuller jewelry, just key in the name (plus “.com”), using your favorite search engine. Jot down the item numbers of your favorites, and call us so we can check on pricing and availability.

Just one thing: minutes ago, we received a message from Santa saying “Don’t delay” (he’s got the reindeer just about ready to go), so call us at 415/796-3969, and we'll put our heads together about the perfect "under-the-pillow" gift for you.
