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.

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…

invite her over for a nice dinner and drinks then whip out the thing thumper j suggested… she will never forget her 23rd.

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!!!

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

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.

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

maybe a nice bed bath and beyond set

you should try victorias secret they have good sales going on and lots of times they have sets that come with a bag for like less than $30 all woman love them some victorias secret goodies

A gift card from a nice place she may like or VISA gift card.
