Ideal Treasure for Valentine's Day!

With the Christmas and New Year Holidays behind us, our next major holiday for those special people in our lives is Valentine’s Day!

For both women and men, jewelry remains a very popular gift because it is, personal, thoughtful, and valuable.

For women, the most popular jewelry types are earrings, necklaces, & rings, with brooches, bracelets, and belly-button rings as secondary pieces, and other forms of body jewelry coming in a distant third.  For men, rings and watches dominate, with necklaces and other types of mens jewelry being much less popular.

Since gifts to women on Valentine’s Day are the most prevalent, a womens jewelry box can be the perfect complimentary gift for jewelry lovers!

The most popular styles and types will generally be based on the age of the recipient and home décor.  Age of the recipient can be almost directly linked to size of the jewelry collection.

For younger women, including ‘tweens and teenagers, the smaller desktop cases provide the best value.  They are smaller yet still highly functional in the volume and style of jewelry pieces that can be stored.  They also look great and can still be the right size for many years.

For young adults, a medium sized dresser armoire or larger womens jewelry case is the ticket!  As she gets older (and more gift opportunities go by), she’ll likely have amassed a larger jewelry collection, with more and more treasured pieces that she may not wear as frequently, but still hold dear.  A luxury jewelry case makes a wonderful wedding present or 5 year anniversary gift!

Finally, the wife of many happy years may view a large standing wooden jewelry armoire as the perfect gift for her large jewelry collection.  In addition to the functionality available (mirrored flip top, ring rolls, lined compartments, and swinging side doors with as many as 20 necklace hooks), these jewelry armoires also have up to 8 lined drawers, varying in size from smaller at the top (for bracelets and watches) to large drawers at the bottom, for delicates and undergarments.

So with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, now is a good time to start thinking about the ideal treasure for the “her” in your life!

Holiday Highlight – A Perfect Gift for the Husband

Moving through the holiday season, today ChasingTreasure.com will highlight another terrific gift idea, this time for the husband of many years.

This particular treasure are locking watch boxes with display windows.  These make a great husband’s gift due to expense, the type of products that it protects, and usefulness to the recipient.  Assuming he does not already have a watch case, here are three reasons why this is a wonderful gift idea.

1    He likely has at least 3 watches, at least one of which is very expensive.  And some men have accumulated a lot more through the years, who have a watch for various activities.  He’ll have a one for business casual, business professional, knock-around on the weekends, sporting events, a dive watch, and a pilot’s watch with tachymeter and stop-watch.  This collection can be securely stored in a watch case that includes removable padded holders, lined interior, and lock.
2.    As a gift, the high-end watch case is both thoughtful and functional.  It is something that he’ll see, use, and appreciate daily.  Larger watch cases can hold up to 20 watches, which can easily accommodate his & hers collection.  This alone makes the watch case a practical addition to the bedroom too.  All are hand-finished and come in various colors from neutral dark woods, to lighter tans, and dark black ebony to fit any décor.
3.    A watch case as a luxury gift is also unique:  because it reflects the higher value tastes of one who collects multiple timepieces, it is for a very distinct niche that includes those who appreciate the finer luxuries. That does not mean that the watch case itself is expensive, however.  Almost all of the higher quality boxes that can hold up to 10 watches are well under $200.

In discussing watch holders, we will briefly touch upon watch winders, which are for the very high-end watches:  those that are automatic.  This simply means that the watch does not need a battery or manual winding, as their mainsprings are wound by movement of the wearer’s arm.  The watch-winder not only protects these expensive timepieces (expensive due to the craftsmanship needed) but also keeps them wound when not worn.

For the wife whose husband has (almost!) it all, consider a watch case as the perfect treasure for him!

Holiday Highlight – The Perfect Gift for the Wife of Many Years

As we go through the holiday season, we’ll highlight a particular luxury product that we know is a wonderful gift for the wife of many years.

The treasure that we'll discuss is a Standing Jewelry Amoire, which falls under the luxury jewelry box category for three reasons:  the size, practicality, and expense.  Under the assumption that she does not already own one, here are three reasons why this makes a great gift for the wife of many years.
1.     She has accumulated a sizeable jewelry collection, and likely a very diverse collection.  She’s received annual jewelry gifts over the years (birthday, anniversary, Christmas, Valentine’s Day), as well as heirloom’s passed on from family members, such as brooches and rings.  It’s also likely that she has not gotten rid of any of her jewelry, especially gifts, unless to give away to a daughter or special family member.  As the fashions change, she’ll upgrade to stay with the times, but not want to discard pieces that have sentimental value (especially for necklaces and earrings, re:  large hoops and heavy chains give way to multiple small earring studs and chokers).  After 15 years, it’s reasonable that she’s collected close to 50 separate pieces.  A large jewelry armoire has the space to securely store all of that, and continue to grow.
2.    The desire by an attentive husband is to find a gift that is both thoughtful and functional.  A standing jewelry armoire does both.  It is something that she’ll see and appreciate every day.  A large jewelry armoire also includes up to 8 drawers, the bottom 5 of which are larger and can hold delicates and undergarments as well as jewelry.  This makes the jewelry box a very practical addition as bedroom furniture too.
3.    As an established family, a standing jewelry armoire as a luxury gift is truly unique, as they normally cost hundreds of dollars and have a niche purpose:  to store large jewelry collections and small clothing pieces.

So as a husband who has been married for many years, consider the Jewelry Armoire as the perfect treasure for her!
