10 Creative Ways to Give Jewelry as a Gift (and Make It Unforgettable)
Jewelry is more than an accessory—it’s a statement of love, appreciation, and personal style. At European Style, we believe the way you present a jewelry gift should be just as beautiful and thoughtful as the piece itself. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, holiday, or simply want to surprise someone you care about, here are ten imaginative ways to turn a jewelry gift into a memorable experience.
1. Dress Up a Soft Toy
Add a touch of whimsy by pairing your jewelry gift with a plush animal. Choose a soft toy your loved one adores—maybe a bunny, bear, or even a dolphin—and accessorize it with a bracelet or necklace. Or simply place the jewelry box gently on its lap for an extra-sweet surprise. This is perfect for kids-at-heart or sentimental gifters.
2. Hide It in an Unexpected Spot
Catch them off guard by stashing the jewelry in a place they’d never expect—like their morning coffee mug (before the brew!), next to their skincare in the bathroom, or tucked in their handbag. The key here is surprise. Just make sure it’s a safe, dry place!
3. The Old “Boring Box” Trick
Want to throw them off? Place your European Style jewelry box inside packaging for something mundane—like a box of vitamins, a cereal carton, or even a shoe box. Watching them open it and realize what’s inside is half the fun.
4. Send a Special Delivery
If you have little ones or a beloved pet, let them do the honors! Tie the box to your dog’s collar or ask your child to hand it over. Want to go big? Use a singing telegram or dress up as a waiter for an at-home “restaurant” reveal.
5. Pair It with a Coordinating Gift
Elevate your gift by bundling it with something equally thoughtful. Tuck a bracelet inside a chic handbag or wrap a necklace within a silk scarf. You could even select a full outfit and style the look with the jewelry piece you’ve chosen. Now that’s a fashion moment!
6. Make It an Experience
Jewelry lasts a lifetime, but experiences make unforgettable memories. Plan a weekend getaway, a wine tasting, or a sunset beach walk—then pull out your jewelry gift at the perfect moment. At European Style, we’ve seen our customers pair our statement earrings with romantic date nights and even spa weekends.
7. Plan a Jewelry Scavenger Hunt
Create a mini treasure hunt that leads your loved one to their gift. You can use riddles, poems, or photo clues—just make sure the final stop is something dazzling from European Style. It turns the gifting process into an event they'll never forget.
8. Serve It Like Dessert
Rather than the classic ring-in-champagne move (which we don’t recommend for safety!), serve the jewelry box covered on a dinner plate or dessert tray. Want to go extra luxe? Present it between courses during a fancy dinner—home-cooked or at their favorite restaurant.
9. Flip the Timing
If you typically gift at night, try surprising them in the morning. Leave a ring box on their pillow or hand-deliver a pair of pearl earrings with their morning coffee. Switching up the timing adds a fresh twist and heightens the surprise.
10. Make Jewelry Gifting Magical at Christmas
Christmas is the perfect time to create a memorable jewelry gifting moment. Place the gift inside a holiday ornament and let them hunt for it on the tree. You can even decorate the tree with pieces from your European Style collection—tiny boxes under the branches, necklaces draped like garland, or bracelets hanging from hooks.

Make Every Gift Unforgettable
Giving jewelry isn’t just about what’s in the box—it’s about the experience. Whether it’s a handmade bracelet, a pair of hypoallergenic earrings, or a gold-plated necklace from our signature collections, we invite you to think outside the box (literally) and give your gift in a way that surprises, delights, and inspires.
