'Tis the Season

Can anyone BELIEVE we are talking about holiday gift guides? I am still eating candy corn – eek! OK, let’s get focused here. CHRISTMAS. HANNUKAH. The super-bowl of gift giving is starting now, and it’s time to WIN 😉

This is probably my 5th Note from Jane about holiday gift giving, so you already know all my secrets. If not, here are the cliff notes:

1.

Gifts are my LOVE LANGUAGE. I want to give the most perfect gift. I want to receive a million gifts. I am 1000000% in on gifting, wrapping, spoiling, and being spoiled with presents. See #4 = massive rule.

2. 

As a kid, I always got a special jewelry piece from my Dad for Christmas. It was usually from Tiffany or some far off place he traveled that year (pearls from China, a cut green tourmaline pendant from India…). We can discuss my privilege at another time, but for now just go with it – jewelry is a STAPLE holiday gift.

3. 

Sneaking peeks, finding presents in the back of closets, learning to untie and re-tie that signature Tiffany ribbon to avoid detection – I am guilty. You can’t hide from me. Therefore, I assume my girls are trying to sneak peeks too, so all gifts are HIDDEN, guarded…I can’t tell you where.

4. 

We are a family that has implemented a (loose) rule, three gifts. I give each of my girls 3 gifts, my Mom 3 gifts, Mr. Jane Win 3 gifts. You get 3 shots to WIN the gift giving contest.

This holiday for the first time EVER I get to have everyone at my house. My girls, my mom, my brother, my sister-in-law, niece and nephew. I am so excited – I am LEVITATING. I have Pinterest boards for the decorations, the table setting…I have list upon list for the Christmas Eve menu, special candies to be in silver bowls sprinkled around the house. It’s dreamy.

All that said. All the CONSUMPTION and fancy status gifts aside (LOL)…I want each gift to be treasured. I want to give with thought. I don’t want reckless spending. I want the three most thoughtful gifts I could give. I want to spend time wrapping them so that the care on the outside mirrors the care I put into what's inside. 

While I know there are a million options out there, I really do think Jane Win has the most special gifts. Because each piece is tied to a word, and that word ‘means something’, Jane Win is such an easy way to tell someone how much you love them – or what you wish for them (Luck! Joy! Peace!). Transparently, there is so much LOVE that is put into designing the piece, so much love here in our office creating the prettiest printed boxes, so much love wrapping everything for you so it arrives perfectly. Each order is filled with genuine care. It’s almost like the piece of jewelry has good energy from inception. I might be biased, but it doesn’t get any better.

Tons of love and xx Janie
