Special birthday and Christmas present ideas in $500-3000k range for late 30s mom

[Anonymous]

I'm the late 30s mom! My birthday and Christmas coming up and my partner jokes that he does an amazing job of buying what he's told to buy but I can't really think of anything special or that I want and it's driving him crazy.

There are of course things I "need" - a new pair of uggs, new pajamas, so on - but for gifts I prefer legacy or investment pieces that I will wear frequently rather than something I'd buy myself.

Last year, for reference, I asked for and received a Cartier love necklace for my birthday and a Goyard bag for Christmas. I have worn them literally every day since. The year before, I asked for and received a Tiffany floating diamond necklace (which I wore almost every day until I got the Cartier necklace) for my birthday and a pair of Marco Bicego earrings for Christmas.

I already have a nice watch (rolex), I don't want another necklace because I really like the Cartier one and it's a perfect everyday necklace for me. I'm not really a bracelet person but I could become one? Earrings would be good but I have diamond studs already and would want something classic. I like Van Cleef and Arpels Alhambra earrings but they are more than I would want to him spend ($4000+) and the Sweet Alhambra ones seem like they would be too small - I have long hair that I wear down almost every day.

I have nice small handbags too so I don't need any more.

As I am typing this out, I think I want earrings or another non-necklace jewelry piece that I could wear frequently unless someone has a better idea. Is there anything else besides jewelry I could use or wear every day?

(No experiences, needs to be something tangible)

Any ideas?

P.S. My life is not as charmed as it seems in this post, I promise, but I do need to give him a birthday present idea.

Wouldn't they look fake? I feel like when I see people with large diamond earrings I assume they are czs.

You're ridiculous. Yuck.

Seems like you already have more than enough. Maybe you'd like to donate money to a cause you believe in and help others.

Agreed, yuck. It makes my skin crawl to read this level of conspicuous consumption spelled out so ironically.

I have real mined diamond earrings and pendant in yellow gold and moissanite diamond earrings and pendant in white gold. You can't tell the difference.

Not sure what price range you actually mean, but with a budget of $300K, I’d ask for a small condo near the beach.

Of course not. Why would real diamonds look fake?

For that price range you can have either one Sean for one hour or 20 Larrys for four hours.
