I'm turning 21 and so is my boyfriend. We've been together for two years and unfortunately I'm not very good at giving gifts. Actually, I've never given a boy a gift and didn't have to get him anything as we did long distance until a couple of months ago. So I really need help in choosing what to give him bc I seriously don't know what boys like.PS: He likes video games but if he wanted a game or merchandise related to it, I'm pretty sure he already bought it himself. 🙄 via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/d575na/my_second_anniversary_is_coming_up_and_i_need/?utm_source=ifttt

#gifts - #How should I gift a church office employee?

Hello folks,Recently, I received a tip from a church office employee regarding a business opportunity. She knows I am working in this field and she basically referred a business to me. Typically, if someone refers a business to me, I will pay a referral fee when I finished the job. However, I did not make any financial arrangement with her like I will pay her referral fee. The reason is I was not expecting she can refer a business to me. I was introduced to her because I attended that church when I was in that city (I do not live at that city anymore). I do not even know how on earth she can remember me when someone mention to her about issues in my field.Here is the deal: I feel like it is a little unethical make a payment to this person directly. Of course, a call is not enough. What should I gift to this lady in this situation? A big box of chocolate worth like $50 from Costco or simply a $50 WalMart gift card. The recipient will be a lady in her late 40s or 50s.Thanks,LAMG1 via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/d4iy30/how_should_i_gift_a_church_office_employee/?utm_source=ifttt

#gifts - #EMERALD

​https://i.redd.it/gqche8p4a5m31.jpgEmerald is a gemstone that needs no introduction! It is the stone clothed in the most glamorous green, it is a name that has evolved to represent the hue of the most brilliant green. A precious gem from the beryl family of minerals, emeralds are known for their stunning green shades. Emeralds are noted for their hues than their shine, and for this reason, the value of emerald is often comparable to that of diamonds. Emeralds are used extensively in precious jewellery where they add drama to pieces of diamond jewellery by taking center stage. The white and green contrast offered by diamonds and emeralds makes a timeless combination, one that is adored by the rich and the royals.Scientifically, emerald is a beryllium derivative, with traces of chromium and vanadium imparting its rich green colour. The name Emerald originates from the Latin word ‘esmaralda/esmaraldus’, and has roots in the ancient Greek word ‘smaragdos', meaning ‘green gem’.The green colour is so alluring that it elevates this gem to the privileged club of precious gemstones like sapphires, rubies and diamonds.Cleopatra, one of the most notable Pharaohs of Egypt, who was fantasized universally for her beauty, was known for her undying love for emeralds. In fact, she was so obsessed with emeralds that the mines in Egypt during her time came to be known as ’Cleopatra's mines’. It is said that Elizabeth Taylor, the stellar actress lauded for her ravishing feminine beauty and her classic style of dressing, had immense passion for jewellery as well, especially emeralds. She owned a beautiful emerald pendant that was later sold for a record breaking 280,000 dollars per carat! Quite expensive, don’t you think? The royalty in India too possessed chests and ornament boxes encrusted with emeralds because emeralds were believed to bring good luck and wealth.The 4C’sColourAmong the 4 C’s that determine the price of any gemstone, colour, being the fourth parameter rules supreme.The three determining characters here are hue, saturation and the tone of the stone.The best emeralds have good saturation and are graded as bright or vivid.Emerald hues can range from yellow-green to blue-green.Only gems in the beryl family possessing a medium to dark tone are named emeralds. The lighter ones are called green beryls.In tone, the range is from colourless at 0% to opaque black at 100%. Emeralds fall in the 75% range.ClarityEmeralds are stones that have a lot of flaws and fissures called ‘jardin’, meaning garden, as they make the stone look mossy. In other stones, this would be considered as a grave fault and this alone can deplete their value, but not for emeralds. For emeralds, such flaws are indicators of them being natural. Thus, the clarity of emerald is graded by the eye and not by a Loupe test as in diamonds. If no visible inclusions are seen in a standard 10x magnification, it is considered as a flawless emerald. Flawless emeralds are extremely rare, thus the stone is usually treated with oils to fill in the inclusions and enhance its luster. The finest of emeralds have a flat-topped hexagonal-shaped crystal structure that is flatteringly similar to the faceted variety.CutThe resplendent beauty of any stone is brought out only when it is cut to perfect shape to reflect light better. Interestingly, emerald has its own specific cut, called the ‘emerald cut’. This brings out the beauty and maximizes the colour of the gem and protects the delicate stone from mechanical and internal stress. The cuts in emerald amplify the colour and richness of the stone.The usual shape of an emerald is either a rectangular or a square cut, with reduced corners. Such emeralds are mostly seen on larger pieces of jewellery that use bigger stones. Conventional pear shaded, princess cut and marquise cut emeralds are popular as well. Unusual cuts in emerald also include the triangular trillion cut and baguette cut. Low grade emeralds are shaped en cabochon i.e., in the shape of beads that are strung together to make long necklaces.CaratThe resplendent beauty of any stone is brought out only when it is cut to perfect shape to reflect light better.

Low grade emeralds are shaped en cabochon i.e., in the shape of beads that are strung together to make long necklaces.SourceColombia is the famed mining area of emeralds, along with Brazil and Zambia. . The emeralds from Brazil are yellowish-green, of the finest quality, with unparalleled clarity. Zambian emeralds are also sought after for their mesmerizing bluish tinted greens. The rarest of the rare emerald variety, the treasured ‘Cat’s eye emerald’, has a special six ray star, and is mined from Brazil.Identifying real emeralds?Emeralds are at their best in daylight.They are known to have fissures and inclusions in plentiful, and these are almost always filled with resins and oils. Emeralds reveal their flaws under artificial light, so witnessing such inclusions is a good indicator of a real emerald. Remember that artificial emeralds are synthesised in labs and can decently mimic the qualities of a natural emerald. To add to this, imitations of emeralds flood the market as well, so it is imperative to check your emeralds for quality before making the purchase.Benefits in astrologyEmerald, also known as Zamrud or Panna, besides being a valuable stone in jewellery, has innumerable benefits for the body and soul. It finds mentions in Buddhism and Sanskrit for its powers. It is the birthstone of those born in May, but others can wear this stone as well. The green gem is associated with the ‘Anahata’ or the heart chakra. It is believed to be effective regarding the treatment of ailments affecting the said chakra. The stone is used to correct the malefic powers of the planet mercury.A person wearing emerald is believed to be highly creative, artistic or linguistically proficient.The stone alleviates sickness of the lungs, and allergies and ailments of the nervous system.It is a soothing stone that helps to relax and focus, especially for people with attention disorders or restlessness.Emeralds make their wearers confident and well spoken, making them impressive communicators. The presence of the stone makes it easier for the person to express his ideas in words flawlessly.Practitioners of the mind, like psychics, healers and astrologers are said to excel in their field by wearing emeralds.In the medieval times, emerald was believed to be an antidote for poisoning.Our ancestors believed emeralds had the power to keep relationships sacred. They were believed to protect their wearers from toxic and tumultuous situations. Emerald can help a person to get over emotional issues that arise from harsh situations.The wearers of emeralds are professed to be rich and famous.CultureOne of the largest emeralds in the world is the ‘Mogul Emerald’, with a height of 10cm, weighing approximately 217.80 carats. The stone has prayers inscribed on one side and floral engravings on the other.The oldest emerald, found from South Africa, is believed to be 2.97 billion years old.Massive emerald crystals weighing from 220 carats to even 1796 carats are kept safe at the Bank of Bogotá.A breathtakingly beautiful emerald discovered from Zambia, known as ‘Inkalamu’, meaning ‘the lion emerald’, weighs an astonishing 5,655 carats.It is widely believed that the royalty practiced drinking out of goblets carved in emeralds after discovering the secret magical powers possessed by emerald.Iranian National Jewellery Treasury possesses some of the finest emeralds in the world, including the ‘diadem of Empress Farah’. There are even more precious emerald collections in the possession of private collectors, hidden from the eyes of the world.The Madhurai Meenakshi Amman Temple in Tamil Nadu has the statue of the deity, Goddess Meenakshi, carved in emerald.It is written about Cortez of Spain that after bringing back several precious gems from Europe, he had written on an emerald, referring to John the Baptist as ‘among those born of woman, there hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptist’. This was considered extremely blasphemous at that time and created great outrage, and is believed to have been the reason behind the death of King Charles IX of France soon after.ChoiceEmeralds are the luxurious stones that lure you in necklaces and bangles, all by themselves. They are also seen in the company of other precious stones like diamonds and rubies. The luscious green and the subtle sparkle is what makes emerald stand out from the rest. Emeralds are particularly brittle, so a lot of care is put into cutting, setting and polishing the stone. Generally, heat and pressure are not healthy for an emerald’s life, and this is a factor that may increase the processing charge of emeralds. Emeralds appear in the most coveted designer items, and is a precious asset for the jewellery industry.It is best to divide emerald jewellery into two popular varieties:Traditional richnessNecklaces with emeralds encrusted among premium diamonds are a craze. Emerald neck chokers with Kundan works are stunning additions to the bridal trousseau. Diamond studded brooches with round emeralds strung on chains with multilayered pearls are in fashion too, and we have extravagant necklaces that fall in this category as well.The Mughal jewellery tradition uses emeralds and pearls in excess to create the most precious and breathtaking jewellery.Stunning Polki earrings with uncut diamonds, alternating along crisp emerald chunks with golden beads and ruby trims make bright and colourful accessories.High street fashionEmerald necklaces in unconventional designs are the new favourites among fashion conscious women. Designer pieces with emeralds in a variety of cuts, arranged on layers of gold, is a finery to adore. The star combination of emeralds and diamonds is usually seen in rings. Huge rectangular-cut emeralds surrounded by smaller diamonds make exuberant jewellery, and are often pieces to treasure.Drop earrings in platinum with pear cut emeralds on chains, with tiny diamonds in between, give the illusion of an emerald rain.Emeralds have a special place in the making of bangles too. Emerald and pearl bangles are hot favourites, and are as feminine as they are eye catching. The brilliant green shows off best when worn alongside pastel pinks, royal gold, beige, off whites and pure stark white.There is an emerald set for every bride. The Christian bride, dressed in pure white can be a showstopper, if adorned in an emerald and diamond choker necklace, with earrings to match. The traditional bride in a lehenga can sport a Jadau choker with a Kundan style pearl and emerald long neckpiece to be a trendsetter and the season’s Mughal inspiration. When clad in sarees, women can pull of a bright contrast with this brilliant stone in the best cuts.How to styleEmeralds can be a bit tricky to style to be matched with your attire as they are low on shine but high on colour. This is a highly desirable feature, and once properly styled, emeralds can set the floor on fire. Follow these guidelines to pull off any emerald jewellery effortlessly.Always contrast.Wear colours that can really bring out the hue of emerald. Lighter shades work best in this aspect.Pairing a black dress with emerald can give you an ethereal look, just be sure that the two do not overlap. You can wear a low neckline dress and let the emerald necklace take center stage on your bare neck.If you are wearing a heavy emerald necklace, let the attire step down a bit and vice versa.Emeralds with diamond trims are your best friends. This design enhances the colour of the emerald and makes sure that diamonds impart the missing brilliance to make a killer combination. Rings of this design can be worn with any outfit.For the wedding day, it is best to choose a necklace with matching earrings of the same style, preferably in Kundan/Polki designs, or non-traditional designs. As these are entirely different, care has to be taken to stick to one design only so that you do not mix them up.

So, my SO and I are having our first anniversary in less than two months and I need some advice re: present.I have plenty of ideas and a list of things I would like to buy for him eventually, so the kind of advice I need is this: he's not that excited by dates and anniversaries as I am, which is totally fine, but I'm worried that if I buy something expensive for him he will feel like he has to reciprocate or that he'll feel guilty for not putting in the same effort and/or money (I wouldn't have a problem with that, but I think he would).I have no problems spending money on him because literally he is the best, but at the same time he's a very practical person and I don't know if buying something pricey for him would make him feel embarrassed if he doesn't get me anything or forgets the date.Do I risk creating an awkward situation by buying something pricey (that I'm sure he will love and/or would probably buy himself at some point), or do I give up on the idea and stick to something cheap and symbolic?(Also by 'expensive' I mean something that would be good for like a BIG birthday rather than a first anniversary, it's not like I can afford to spend $$$$)Thanks in advance! via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/d35m7r/expensive_present_advice/?utm_source=ifttt
