chillii Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Hi people. My d turns 18this week, l don't know what to get her. She's work so hard with school this last 18mths and l'd love to get her something special. l was thinking about a necklace and cross, she loves crosses , no she's not religious , just loves crosses. But then l'm not sure if that would be special or something to give your daughter. I mean it's something she'd have for life, l love that idea. Any thoughts ?
alphamale Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Any thoughts ? if she likes Amazon get her a gift certificate and she can buy whatever she wants
Mr. Lucky Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 I mean it's something she'd have for life, l love that idea. Then why second-guess? Sounds like a very nice gift, make sure you get a good chain since it's that portion getting the wear-and-tear... Mr. Lucky
amaysngrace Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 A nice piece of jewelry is a great idea! I still have a ring my parents gave me for my confirmation. It’s my birthstone and I love it!
basil67 Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 I'd trust your instinct with the cross. Perhaps a gothic style?
Author chillii Posted June 16, 2019 Author Posted June 16, 2019 haaaa, she loves anything goth. l was worried about the chain too as mr lucky said l mean l'd like something a tiny bit chunky so it never wares out or breaks but girlie stuff is often so fine. Do you think something midway to chunky would be ok say 2 or 3ml thick ?
Scarlett.O'hara Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Have a look at the necklaces she already has. That will give you an idea of what type of chain to go for. For what it's worth, it sounds like a lovely gift.

Do you think something midway to chunky would be ok say 2 or 3ml thick ?. I think the cross is a great idea. And I would not worry too much about the chain because they can always be replaced. Maybe even get a couple of different ones? Different thickness and length so she can wear it a few different ways.
Gaeta Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 I think a cross on a chain is a great idea. Maybe have something ingraved small at the back of it. As a teen my daughter loved the gothic look, I offered her a semi-chuncky puter chain with a rectangle pendant. She wore it for 15 years and now her youngest sister wears it. It's timeless.
d0nnivain Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 What about getting her a charm bracelet with a cross? The every significant event you can get her a new charm.
CautiouslyOptimistic Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 What about getting her a charm bracelet with a cross? The every significant event you can get her a new charm. Yes, great idea. If she doesn't already have a Pandora or Alex & Ani bracelet, get her one of those.
Tamfana Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Trust your instincts and get a lovely cross necklace. Both of my daughters love the cross necklaces they received as special gifts and wear them often. Is your daughter a yellow gold or white gold kinda gal? 1
alphamale Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 haaaa, she loves anything goth. get her the entire discography of The Cure... 2
alphamale Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Does she have a musical jewelry box? is there one that plays "Boys Don't Cry"??
basil67 Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 get her the entire discography of The Cure... What about Nine Inch Nails?
alphamale Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 What about Nine Inch Nails? I don't know their music...are they Goth?
Author chillii Posted June 17, 2019 Author Posted June 17, 2019 What about getting her a charm bracelet with a cross? The every significant event you can get her a new charm. Nice idea thanks donni but funny, a Slavonian friend of mine made her one she loves so she's all good.
Author chillii Posted June 17, 2019 Author Posted June 17, 2019 Does she have a musical jewelry box? Well , l bought her one when she was about 10 now that you mention it , no idea if ir's still about.
Author chillii Posted June 17, 2019 Author Posted June 17, 2019 Anyway , low and behold, l had a feeling about a town l don't go to much 15mins over. Found a jewelry shop there, fairly conservative l'm thinking hmmm gut may've been wrong on this but kept looking through and there it was. Found a beautiful little piece small semi goth cross set in a gorgeous black pendant, with a very unusual semi chunky twisty chain , really nice. Sent a pic to ex she said she'd love it soooo, l bought that. l know she'll love it too. Thanks a lot for the help people , l'm really pleased. 2
