When you want a personalized gift that sparkles and is meaningful, crystals are your best friends! We have found that even people who do not know much about crystals appreciate their beauty and are curious to know more. Below are a few tips about choosing a crystal for someone else, and a few stones that will please your friends and family.
Here is how to choose a crystal for someone else:
Think About the Receiver
Everything special starts with a clear intention… if you come to the shop and want to find a stone to gift, take a moment to think about that person. Think about their voice, presence, and what they bring into your life. Walk around our crystal table and see what grabs your attention - don't overthink!
Take a stone in your hands and ask if it is the right stone for that person; sense if it feels warm (we always take that as a positive sign). You can also ask if it has a companion stone: sometimes, what we seek lies in the synergy of two crystals.
Pick a Shape
There are so many different crystal shapes, and our favorite thing when we choose them for the shop is to look for unique and fun ones! This in itself can be your guiding light when choosing a stone for someone.
Many people have a connection to a specific shape or an animal and will be delighted to have it as a crystal. Apart from the classic tumbled, rough, and heart-shaped pieces, we have cats, mushrooms, butterflies, moons, flowers, turtles, clovers… and twice a year our collection gets bigger and more diverse.
Meanings of the Stones
Offering something meaningful and tailored is a gift for both the giver and the receiver. When you take the time to find a stone with a meaning that matches where the person is in their life or what type of support they need, your thoughtfulness will be truly appreciated.
Look for the description of the crystals that feel like the best fit for the person, or ask us which stone would be appropriate for a specific intention.
