What do you guys think would be best piece of jewelry to give to a girl that would say “Thanks for being there for me when I needed you. You’re an awesome friend. I love you” I’m looking to spend probably around $50-$100 ---

I would say a necklace. ---

Unless you know her taste in jewlery really really well then I would say “other”. Earrings are probably the safest form of jewlery if you really want to go that route. Otherwise I’d say one of your favorite books or a gift certificate or make her dinner. Dinners don’t have to be romantic, but doing something really nice for her will show her you care. ---

Lunatic - The gift is going to be a part of a weekend I’m planning, I’ve got all the stuff she loves all planned out =) Thing is though, she doesn’t wear much jewelry, so I don’t have a good read on what she’d like. In fact, now that I think about it, I’m not even sure if she has pierced ears anymore; she did a while back, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen her wear earings, so I’m not sure if she still does. (I would post my plans for the weekend, but she sometimes drops by here, so I don’t want to ruin the surprise :P) ---

Rings are not for friends IMO, Bracelet or ear rings wld be safest if you go down the jewellery route. Best way to impress/say thanks to a girl, write a letter explaining how much it meant. My g/f loves it when I do that. May sound cheesey, and invoke some stick from your buddies, but it goes down well. ---

Yeah, my vote for ring was stupid. Go for the necklace. You can’t go wrong with that. :thumb: ---

I would get a really nice cross necklace if she’s a Christian… 🙂 (those are hard to mess up on, get a small simple [NOT GAUDY!!!] one considering she doesn’t wear much jewlery.) ---

That’s the one thing I know she already has, so good idea, anything else you can think of along those lines? ---

Do these look good to you guys? Or do they look ugly? ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/6793/2af8f3d5da8e0907.jpg) ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/6794/c24d8913ed901305.jpg) I’m still looking, but these kind of caught my eye. Also was looking at: ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/6795/96e5cc68a4dc5431.jpg) (They’re doing a buy one get one free on gold/silver stuff, so I could get her this plus one that’s thicker for the price of one.) [neither are in my original price range, but I think if I find something really nice I’d be willing to go over it by a fair amount] ---

Hmm, well I think the first two are a little too gaudy. I know the type of necklace as the third one and it’s very uncomfortable. :\ ---

Hmm, I’ll keep looking. After thinking for a while, maybe something that has her birth stone in it? ---

… i voted bracelet, although if you like her then go with necklace. But, both give the freind feel bracelet a tad more. ---

No I agree that they are a bit gaudy, unless you regularly see her wearing big jewelry pieces with bright colors like that. Time to come clean bradley - is this a friend friend or a romantic interest? Because nice pricey jewelry isn’t really appropriate for a friend friend. My :2c: anyway. Where are all the girls on this forum to pipe in? ---

I don’t mean to be rude, but is she just a normal friend or a “special” friend? If she’s a normal friend, and especially if you fancy her, I wouldn’t get jewellery - you’ll seem too eager. That’s just me. Otherwise, bracelet ---

Luni - Yes, I still have feelings for her, but I can’t act on them. She was devastated after she moved and after I broke up with her (moronic, but I thought it was best for both of us because we were so far away from each other) but she’s doing a lot better now. That’s all I really want is for her to be happy. We’re still best friends (amazingly after I was such a prick to her) and she’s always been there for me. The bracelet/necklace is going to be a birthday present. The weekend is just because she’s coming home for the weekend (to go with me to my prom… as friends) and I want to make her first trip home in a long time special. (The weekend just happens to be within a week of her birthday) What would you recommend besides jewelry? [size=1] editted to clarify [I think I went into too much detail though…] [/size] ---

I’d say bracelet…just seems more informal neckalce and ring kinda imply more than friendship, bracelet is very informal but shows that you care. Defintaley a toss up between necklace and bracelet 🙂 [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/best-choice-for-a-present/183779.md?page=2)
