Christmas is always a special time of year for many people. This spirited time spent with friends and family is the perfect moment to show your loved ones just how much they mean to you. We do this by spending extra time together that we don’t usually get during the rest of the year, and also through gift-giving. Indeed, the holiday season isn’t about presents, but a personal gift can also be a thoughtful way of showing someone you were thinking of them.
So, consider getting that special someone a ring for Christmas this year. There are so many different styles of rings out there that you’re sure to find the perfect fit for your recipient. Let’s take a closer look at some ideas for rings as Christmas gifts.
Engagement Rings
When you shop rings for Christmas, an engagement ring may not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, this time of year may be the perfect opportunity to finally pop the question. Engagement rings come in a wide variety of styles. You don’t have to stick to the classic gold and diamond combination either. Instead, many people opt for alternative metals like platinum, sterling silver, and titanium. However, if you want to stick with gold but don’t want the traditional yellow gold, consider rose gold or white gold.
Birthstone Rings
A birthstone ring can be the perfect gift for anyone in your life who enjoys wearing rings. Birthstone rings are available in virtually any style, including feminine and masculine versions. So whether it’s for one of your children, a significant other, or even a parent or grandparent, a birthstone ring is one Christmas gift that can hardly go wrong.
Anniversary Rings
If you’re married and had an anniversary recently or have one coming up, an anniversary ring can be an excellent Christmas gift. These rings can come in various styles. For example, a popular choice is a halo ring. This ring fits over the engagement ring, creating a halo of gemstones around the primary engagement ring stone. Other anniversary ring styles include a secondary band that can be the same width as the wedding band or smaller and decorated with gemstones. Typically, the anniversary ring gemstones match the engagement ring. However, the choice is always a personal preference.
Class Rings
If you have a child in high school, a class ring always makes for an exciting gift. You may need to spoil the surprise a little to have your teen customize their ring, as this is an extraordinarily personal and exciting experience for them. Alternatively, you can wrap up the class ring customization forms themselves as the Christmas gift and let them start designing their ring Christmas morning.
Wedding Bands
Is your significant other’s wedding band or bridal ring damaged? If so, a replacement is a beautiful and thoughtful Christmas gift idea as it can be disheartening to wear a damaged wedding band or bridal ring. Therefore, no matter if you choose to have a replica gifted as a replacement or if you opt to update or upgrade their ring set, you’ll be gifting more than just a present.
Promise Rings
A promise ring is another excellent way to show that special someone that you care. A promise ring is typically a step up from dating. It’s a way to show the world you’re committed to protecting and nurturing your relationship with this person. Nowadays, promise rings are usually given as a precursor to an engagement ring, but that’s not always the situation. However, these rings share a similar style to engagement rings and can be customized in many of the same ways.
