Need the best present ever

francie Bradey

I need a little advise for a gift for by wife who has just been told today that she is in complete remission from cancer. She has had treatment over the last two years and never once complained always putting the kids and me first!
I would like to get her something special that shows how much she means to all of us and that is just for her. My mind has been so preoccupied that I cant come up with that something special. All advice welcome.Many Thanks

A trip to somewhere would probably be a good one, with lots of nice things planned when you get there. If there's anywhere she likes, or has always wanted to go. now's the time!

Great to hear she's in remission too, lovely news for Christmas

I like the idea of a holiday/hotel break/spa too

But as you said just for her I'm going to add jewellry.
Eternity ring
Simple diamond studs
I love watches at present especially the Michael Kors ones.

Really your budget will dictate.

Set a budget, visit a good jewelers, let them advise you, and think about it.

Congrats too btw fab news

I could manage 500 euro but it has to be a little something for her that will mean alot. Thanks for the good wishes

Taste is very personal and totally unique to each person but here is a few I liked from keanes website .

I picked these as they can be worn easily everyday. To me I think jewellry kept in a box is a waste. Better to wear and enjoy it
Happy shopping

Great news for your wife, you and Your family it definitely gets Christmas off to a super start. Just one little point on jewellery sometimes antique dealers can give great value also and you could find something unique. There are some great little shops in limerick if you live nearby as I have used them myself

Fantastic news. I know just how good it feels to have a loved one get through cancer.

How about a pandora bracelet with a couple of charms. I was thinking this one to remind her that she kicked cancers butt and to support other women going through the same

And this one called inner strength to remind her of how strong and resilient she can be

The bracelet and those two charms would cost around €150, leaving €350 for a night away in a fantastic hotel where you can spoil her.

Doesn't have to be pandora as links, Thomas sabo etc do charm bracelets but I'm just more familiar with pandora.

How about getting a piece of jewellery commissioned for her...I have done this recently to mark a personal loss and the piece is very special and important to me.

Classic design from classic brand, you could get the heart engraved also

These are very fashionable at the minute, you could the coins for the chain as your childrens birthstones. Totally interchangeable, I'd love one!

Stacking rings are also popular and contemporary. I love these.

You could get all your birthstones. You could even mix it up with a plain ring that's engraved with your wedding date, childrens birth date, remission date?

You could go the extra mile and present it in really nice keepsake box. http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/cairnwooddesign/product/nano-keepsake-box

Congrats on the great news, I'm sure your wife isn't a bit materialistic after all she's been through but jewellery in my book is always romantic and a keepsake she can treasure forever. I hope you find what you're looking for and if you do decide on jewellery get it engraved with a little love note from yourself!it really means a lot

I would go with something from tiffanys, the charm braclet above looks great, maybe include a note on how you can add many more memories to it. Then set up a spa day for her, and organise to have a nice dinner out after. Thats just my opinion. Congrats on her remission and wishing you a happy xmas and good health always.

I would second the weekend away. For me memories are worth so much more than material goods. Pick the nicest hotel you can think off, explain (without too much detail) to the hotel that this is extra special. Pull out every stop, bring your kids if being together as a family unit is important. I would never forget being spoiled beyond belief.

And congratulations, it is wonderful news for your family. Perhaps write how you feel and give it to her. We all like to be told how special we are.
