I say this to customers on a daily basis. Whether you’re trying to find that perfect gift for a friend or the ideal accessory for a special occasion, a first instinct is always your best bet. I see people hem and haw for 45 minutes over choosing the green watch or the purple scarf for Aunt Sue’s birthday, when the correct answer is always your first instinct. Which one did you first see and think “Aunt Sue?”
One thing to be very careful of if is whether it’s her taste that catches your eye or something you’d like for yourself. If you can picture her wearing it then you should be good to go. And you’re choosing a gift for someone you don’t know very well, you may want to go with something like a scarf versus jewelry. Jewelry can be pretty personal, where a scarf or beach bag can be a little less taste specific.
Hopefully this will take some of the anxiety out of shopping for that perfect item. Go with your gut!
