The biggest mistake that most of us do when we pick our accessories, is not considering the body structure that we have. While some accessories will look great on mannequins and on images of models, they may not look the same in real life. Remember that mannequins are not alive and that images of models and celebrities can be often retouched to look the best. Therefore, it is very important to consider the shape and structure of your body before you opt for some pieces, especially if they involve precious stones, because a refund or exchange might not always be possible.

If you are petite

If you have a petite build, which means that you are not taller than five feet and five inches and you have a slender frame as well with shoulders that are not too broad and muscular and a neck that it rather dainty, you will not want to go to this fine jewellery shop and buy a piece that will cover your entire collar bone area. Wearing something so heavy on your slender frame will make it look like you have no neck and will make your frame look even more narrow than it is. Appreciate the fact that you have a petite frame that most women wish for and celebrate that with simple and delicate pieces that only slightly accentuate the lines of your figure.

If you are tall

You can purchase diamonds rings for sale easily no matter what your body structure is like, but what about the other pieces that you wanted to get like earrings and a necklace? If you are above five feet and five inches in height and you also have a lean frame that makes you look like you measure six feet, you can afford to wear chunky pieces that are heavy on working. You most certainly have the body structure to carry it off, however if you have a very thin frame you might want to go a bit simple instead. Wearing chunky pieces will give you emphasis and it is best to opt for ear studs as opposed to long tousled earrings that will give your neckline even more length.

If you are of medium height and broadness of structure

If you are not petite yet not very tall and you are neither broad nor narrow when it comes to the body structure, you have to figure out what will look best on you through a lot of trial and error. Your body structure is a versatile one so the best thing for you to do, is to visit your seller and try on the pieces before you purchase them. You are better off looking at yourself in a full length mirror that will indicate how the piece alters your complete body image as opposed to just the top half of your body.

Buying presents for anybody that you care about is a process. However, try as we might there are some basic mistakes that we all do when it finally comes to show time. Make sure that the next time you go shopping for presents, you do not do these mistakes.

Getting them something very impersonal

You can travel gifts set very easily and they are cheap too. Why do you think that they happen to be some of the first and most common choices of presents for most people? But here’s the thing. This can be something which has very little personal value to you and therefore to the receiver. Giving somebody something so passive and impersonal will not help them feel special no matter how good your intentions are. Look and think a little harder.

Stereotyping presents

So you can easily buy some corporate gifts for a workaholic right? Wrong. No matter what their personality is, try to break the stereotype. What is the point that you are trying to make? Let them know that they lead painfully predictable lives or show them that life has so much to offer and that you love them? Don’t go with the traditional norms that society attaches to personalities, ages, genders and characters. Go with your heart and fill meaning into a present.

Waiting till the last minute

Yes, we are all very busy and it is not uncommon to forget to go shopping for presents until the last moment. When this happens remember that it is better to apologize to the receiver and be honest about you running out of time and get them a slightly late yet well thought of present as opposed to getting them something from the pound shop the last minute. The person will appreciate your honesty and effort more than some off the shelf present that they will receive on time.

Buying them what you like

Remember while you can add your personal touches to the presents that you get so that people will remember you and associate you with it, you are still getting it for them and not yourself therefore avoid shopping for items that you like, colours that you think they prefer an the likes. Instead, do a bit of research and find out what they actually like and need and get them something along those lines. Purchase for that person but not for you.

Try to be polite

If you are going to get a present for your best girlfriend and she is celebrating her 30^th birthday, and if she has actually told you or implied that she does not want to be remembered of her age, do not rub it in her face thinking that it will be good fun. Respect their sentiments and steer clear of subjects that can make them feel down, it can be age, it can be something to do with a life incident. Do not turn it into a joke in the form of a present and hurt their feelings.
