Nothing says thoughtful (and effort) like personalised trinkets. Charm bracelets and pendants are huge at the moment, and a cute yet classy delicate bracelet like this one by Abhika Jewels will make the recipient's day! If the recipient is a guy, try this minimalist option by Tann Trim, though it's a unisex option if you ask us. 

For Weddings: This writer's mother says that jewellery gifts for weddings are just not done, especially if they're not actual gold, platinum, and/or encrusted with precious jewels. If you're of the same opinion, this set of jewellery boxes to keep all the jewellery and knick nacks that the bride will presumably receive will do nicely. It's also multifunctional.
