Six October Gift solutions to go for!

October the 10th month of the year is a bit unique in that it’s strongly associated to Halloween. It’s therefore common to see Halloween gifts throughout October overwhelming the true nature of what constitutes October.

The way to look at October, like any other month is to first think of the season. You can’t go wrong with seasonal gifts that befits the region the recipient is. For Northern hemisphere region, autumn items would be good but if the recipient is in the southern hemisphere then one has to do the math. Plus there are tropical regions without the four seasons. It would be thoughtless to send an autumn gift in any month of the year to someone in Mumbai.

The second way is to look at October from the zodiac perspective. All zodiac signs are associated to some kind of stones (birthstones) and metals. However, zodiac related gifts work only with birthdays and birth months of the recipients. Oh wait a minute- that’s not totally true.

Stones and jewelry no matter what zodiac connection they might have, have stood the test of time. For instance do you know what gemstone or metal is associated to October?

There are 12 months of the year and some of these months have more than one stone associated to them – too many stones to keep track of.

The fact is most of us are clueless when it comes to stones or metals associated to months of the year. It is common to one’s own birthstones but care less about others.

So when most of us look at stones or metals, we tend to look at them from their beauty and appealing point of view first rather than their zodiac association.

Enough confusion, let’s get to the point – with jewelry and gemstones goods one can hardly go wrong. The curation of such items speaks louder than the material but the value is always hooked to the material at hand.

Although Opal and Tourmaline stones are associated to October, the value of Opal or tourmaline earrings might not be determined by the month they are sold in but the beauty they exude. Of course there is an argument that there is an influence of supply and demand that set in in particular months but that’s another issue that merits a totally different discussion.

Getting down to business, here at Giftymz we recommend 6 gifts solutions to go for in October.

1. Opal Jewelry Sets.

Opal Jewelry sets are great stuff for ladies in October given that Opal like Tourmaline is October’s gemstone. Depending on the metal attached to the stones, the design and the quality of the stone they can be very pricey.
