What’s life without a little creativity? If you’ve gone to the effort to buy your loved one some special from her favourite handmade jewellery store, then why not make the presentation as much a part of the gift?
And we’re not talking about wrapping it in fancy paper or with a pretty bow – we mean making it a memorable event. Take some inspiration from the team at Jewel Tree London on creative ways to present a gift of jewellery.

8 Creative Ways to Present a Gift of Jewellery
1. Take her to a sentimental location
Rather than having her unwrap the gift at home, take her somewhere special. Perhaps, the place you had your first date, where you first met, or where you proposed. That way she gets a trip down memory lane in addition to her present. You could catch her off guard further by doing this early so that she isn’t expecting to receive a gift.
2. Hide the package in plain sight
With Christmas just around the corner, you can have plenty of festive fun with this one. Drape the rose gold pendant necklace you picked out for her in the Christmas tree or place it next to her tin of festive biscuits. Or how about within a novelty, seasonal decoration? See how long it takes for her to stumble upon it and give her a nudge if she doesn’t spot it.
3. Prepare a treasure hunt
Easily one of the most exciting ways to present your gift of jewellery is via a treasure hunt! Now, don’t be fooled into thinking this option is just for children – what adult doesn’t love the build-up? The great thing about a treasure hunt is that you can either do this at home or in your local area. It really depends on how far you want to travel. Ensure that the jewellery is planned for the finale of the scavenger hunt. However, if you bought a set from the handmade jewellery store you can reveal each piece at different stages.
4. Present it to her whilst on holiday
If you’re coinciding a trip away with the special occasion for which you’ve bought the gift, present it to her whilst you’re there. You could send the gift in advance to the hotel so it’s waiting in the room. Or have it presented at a spa treatment you’re sharing. Extra points if those unique silver earrings you chose are presented with a glass of fizz!
5. Tucked away within another gift
If you’ve been generous with your loved one and bought her more than one present, then you can experiment with the presentation! Attach the jewellery to a bouquet of flowers, affix it to a plane ticket if you booked a trip, or place it inside a decorative ornament. The list is endless!
6. Via a riddle or puzzle
Fantastic for those who enjoy a competitive game or who hog the newspaper crosswords! Deliver a set of riddles or puzzles until she guesses what her present is. For example, with a rose gold pendant necklace, you could bring in all the different elements – the colour of the metal, the gemstone. Play around and create a puzzle that means something to your relationship.
7. The ‘I Forgot’ technique
The classic charade of pretending to forget an important birthday or anniversary might seem a little risky, so don’t take this one too far! Apologise for your oversight and offer to bring out her favourite breakfast in bed. Which of course, you have ready waiting in the house… And wait, where did that pair of unique silver earrings on the plate come from?
8. Surprise her with food
Please tread with caution on this one! You can either cook a delicious meal for your loved one and hide the jewellery within the food. Alternatively, order her favourite takeaway and slip the gift inside the box. But – make sure she doesn’t accidentally eat it, a trip to A&E would be memorable perhaps for the wrong reasons.
