The Petite Shopper

Advice and Information for Petite Women

what do I buy a co worker for her 23rd birthday? She is Spanish has dark hair and is petite?

Lola C asked:


but I do not want to buy her clothes. See we have 12 people at work so have about 40-$50 to spend. I have to get her a dessert (cake?), card, and a gift. So I have about $30 to spend. I want it to look like I spent a ton on her since it is a group gift. I was thinking jewelry? Like a pair of diamond hoops. They sell cheaper ones at kmart. Whatever I get her has to be at the mall or in stock at a store because I have to get it this weekend.
I mentioned what she looked like just in case anyone had any ideas of what goes good with olive skin tone or dark hair like jewelry etc. and wow some of these suggestions are just lame. they **** really. what would you like to get from your group of friends on your birthday? gift card, eh its been done and it shows that we don’t put thought in to the gift.

    23 isn’t a special birthday, get some silver jewellery - earrings?

    A scarf or similar fashion accessory that goes with her features would be nice. Jewelry is challenging, although if you get a classic jewelry style, then she can wear it easily with most clothing.
    You could get her a mall gift certificate or a certificate for Filene’s Basement or forever 21 or someplace and let her choose her own item.

    How is having dark hair and being petite relevant to all this?

    What a nice gesture! I think that you are on the right track. Jewelry is a very neutral and classic gift! A nice earring and necklace combo would be nice….but you can never go wrong with diamonds. I don’t know if you can get them with $30 but you may be able to get some really sparkly cubic z at macy’s or Dillards! walmart also carries really nice jewelry …Good luck!!!

    id say victoria secrets sprays and stuff.
    they have sales like 8 for 35 with certain collections
    which is great because theyre like 9 dollars each so
    that would be a 72 dollar gift for 35… she will know the
    value and like it wayyyyyy better than hoops from kmart
    the three best scents ( all of different collections )
    are heavenly by dream angels, lovespell, or fresh and
    clean by pink- she will love them.. or does she go to
    college?! if she does she would love a hoodie from their
    collegiate collection…

    unless this is something you’ll be celebrating after work, you should keep the gift somewhat professional. i personally would feel uncomfortable if my coworkers bought me diamond earrings–that’s just weird. if you don’t know her well enough to get her something better suited, a gift card is always nice. i don’t think it says you didn’t put thought into it. sorry, can’t pick a gift with spanish as the only info on her.
