Help Your Partner Help You: A Guide To Romantic Gift Hinting

Last Christmas, despite knowing that I have never managed to brew a decent cup of coffee in my life, my husband proudly presented me with a beautifully wrapped espresso machine. I guess he envisioned me whipping up lattes every day, relishing the idea that we could afford a vacation with the $2,000 a year I normally drop on my favorite coffee shop. And don’t get me wrong, it was a nice gesture (don’t worry — I feigned excitement). The thing is, my daily coffee excursions are part of my “be a functioning morning person” routine, and making coffee at home would just mean more work for me. But hey, at least my husband doesn’t put dandruff shampoo in my stocking every year like another man I know (who is, incredibly, still married).

Let’s face it, sometimes our partners can be a bit challenged at picking out the perfect holiday gift. So how do we gently nudge our sweet, confused beloveds toward something we actually want, while maintaining the thrill of anticipation? Enter Pandora, the ultimate gifting destination for gorgeous, timeless jewelry at surprisingly reasonable prices. Even better, Pandora lets you pick your favorite pieces and send your partner a digital hint that’ll help keep them off of the naughty list. Here’s why we love it:

There’s Nothing More Romantic Than Jewelry

Do you consider it “romantic” when your partner does the dishes? Ok, fine, that is pretty hot. But we don’t have to settle for clean spoons! Lovers in ancient civilizations exchanged jewelry as tokens of love and commitment, and that tradition holds to this day. A beautiful piece of Pandora jewelry is the ultimate romantic gift that will remind you every time you see it that you are truly cherished, and can lend a special sweetness to even the most mundane task (yup, even washing a lasagna pan).

The Pandora Timeless Collection Has Something for Everyone

Do you like big stones? Understated stones? Teardrops? Hearts? More of a pavé vibe? Pandora’s Timeless collection has all of that and more. Many pieces feature stunning sparkling jewels in a variety of bold, gorgeous colors, but if bling isn’t your thing, you’ve still got lots of options. With a classic mesh bracelet from the Timeless collection, you can choose your metal finish and then collect gorgeous charms over time that show off your unique style and personality. Every design combines timeless elegance with everyday sophistication, which makes it so hard to choose! But luckily, Pandora’s got your back…

The “Send a Hint” Feature Will Save Your Secret Santa’s Sanity

While we’d like to think our partners know us better than anyone on the planet, jewelry is so personal and sentimental that picking the perfect piece for another person can be difficult no matter how close you are. And though the entire Pandora Timeless collection is drop-dead gorgeous, we all have different tastes. That’s why Pandora’s “Send a Hint” feature is so genius: with the click of a button you can send emails with links to the pieces you covet, so your partner can choose from your very own selection of finalists. This ensures that you won’t know exactly what you’re getting, but you know it will be something you truly love.

A Sentimental Surprise Can Last a Lifetime

Jewelry is such an intimate personal gift, it’s no wonder the right piece can deepen your sense of connection to the people you love most. Pandora believes there is no story more epic than the one you’re living, and that the best stories are full of surprises… like, say, the surprise of unwrapping the perfect holiday gift and marking an indelible memory you’ll have forever.

No one knows what you want most but you, so why not make gift-giving easier on everyone this year by tipping off your partner to the Pandora pieces that make you swoon? No matter what styles you choose or how you wear them, you’ll mark magical moments with the people closest to you (with the added guarantee that your romantic gift won’t come with operating instructions!)

You deserve to get exactly what you want this year. Browse timeless, luxury jewelry at Pandora and don’t forget to send a hint to a loved one to ensure you’ll unwrap the perfect gift!
