Gifts for the Perplexed

Dear San Francisco Jewelry Doctor:

 

I’m sorry, but this is not the most wonderful time of the year, by a long shot. The most wonderful time of the year is the time between 

holidays, when I get to return to feeling like a competent human being.

 

To be specific, the reason I hate the holidays—all except Thanksgiving (L-o-v-e that turkey! And sweet potatoes. And dressing. And pie. And—never mind)—is that no matter what I choose for my one-and-only she takes it back, or it gets banished to the bottom of the jewelry box.

 

I know it’s hopeless, but I thought I’d write just to let you know there are people like me out there.

 

When are the Holidays Over, Already?

 

Dear WHOA:

 

Honey, not to worry. Help is at hand. Your Jewelry Doctor has helped lots of nice people like you. She would love to hand you a cup of hot cider, but she is seriously afraid you might throw it at her. So she is restraining herself, and instead offering a bit of advice. 

 

1. Let us talk about gift certificates. Simply call us at 415/796-3969 (text 415/596-4244), let us know the amount you’d like to spend, and one of our fabulous gift certificates will be on its way so you can give your one-and-only a present she is sure to love!

 

2. If you would like to buy her something yourself, read this beloved, informative story from our archives. It will help you shop confidently now and in the future. https://myjewelrydoctor.blogspot.com/2014/04/hard-to-shop-for-not-any-more_27.html

 

Fret no more!

 

The San Francisco Jewelry Doctor 

 

P. S. Your one-and-only mentioned a paperclip chain necklace. Just sayin’.
