<p>I have a half dozen young women on my gift list, but am not sure what the most-desired item from Tiffany is these days. Do people still like the silver heart? What about the initial pendant? Pearl studs? Or is that too Junior League-ish? </p>
<p>Or something totally different? I know everyone likes cash, but I like the idea of giving something that will still be around in five or ten years...</p>
<p>And while we're at it, what on earth do we give the guys???</p>
<p>I personally love the initial pendants; I have one (not from Tiffany's) that I wore every day until the clasp stopped working. It's classy and personal.</p>
<p>I would also say that this: <a href="http://www.tiffany.com/shopping/item.aspx?c_id=WEB1&c_it=14A1&search_params=t+-s+0-p+2-r+15+24-x+&%5B/url%5D">http://www.tiffany.com/shopping/item.aspx?c_id=WEB1&c_it=14A1&search_params=t+-s+0-p+2-r+15+24-x+&</a> is rather covet-worthy.</p>
<p>Or these: (sorry now I'm looking at Tiffany's and getting all excited)</p>
<p>you might want to make sure the girls even want expensive jewellery. personally, i hate the idea of wasting a couple of hundred bucks on a plain looking trinket, especially when i could buy something identical (from a distance) for five bucks from claires. but many of friends go gaga over tiffany's. it all depends, just make sure the recipient wants the gift.</p>
<p>Haha, are you sure you want to buy all the girls something from Tiff? That could run quite a bill. </p>
<p>For my birthday, my aunt got me this: <a href="http://www.tiffany.com/shopping/item.aspx?c_id=WEB1&c_it=22L4&start_id=81&CategoryId=472&category=Jewelry&%5B/url%5D">http://www.tiffany.com/shopping/item.aspx?c_id=WEB1&c_it=22L4&start_id=81&CategoryId=472&category=Jewelry&</a> </p>
<p>And I love love it because EVERYONE has those chain bracelets. </p>
<p>Oh, and pish. You can't compare Tiffany to Claire's. It holds an entirely different value. I think a gift from Tiffany's would be something nice for a grad gift, it would be something that could be treasured for a long time. Or if not treasured now, saved and liked later on. <em>shrug</em> </p>
<p>Hm, if you are set on it, I'd go for open heart bracelets but I honestly don't like something everyone else has, and God forbid anything that says "T & Co." on it (I think that was their 1837 line). </p>
<p>What I really want for a grad gift are those really cute (thus, expensive) dorm accessories. But I wouldn't mind something Tiff either. ;)</p>
<p>I like the initial pendant too...
I think the simpler things are classier- like the classic heart, or the starfish...I'm thinking about getting the noughet; it's just a little ball, but it's definitely more versatile than big clunky dog-collar-esque chains.</p>
<p>the chain bracelets are kinda middle schoolish tho. i would suggest a ring.</p>
<p>but you'd have to get ring sizes and etc...</p>
<p>I wish I got graduation gifts! I don't think my parents are giving me anything...</p>
<p>well u could just steal a ring from the daughter's room and compare? cant u? haha =P</p>
<p>well she said that she's buying stuff for half a dozen people so i assume she didn't have sextuplets</p>
<p>oh and re: what to buy guys...
in typical princeton fashion, blazer buttons! lol</p>
<p>ooooh half a dozen oh ok i thot it was like a daughter or something</p>
<p>guys? welll.....electronics are nice =P</p>
<p>the silver mesh ring is very pretty and also very classy. i got one for christmas and LOVE it</p>
<p>thanks so much for the input!!!</p>
<p>You're right -- I do not have sextuplets, and getting ring sizes would be tough, although those ring links are pretty darned cute.</p>
<p>Blazer buttons??? <em>looks clueless</em> Zante -- neither DizzyHusband nor I are Ivy League graduates. Help me out here. This takes us to another subject -- what kind of wardrobe should DizzysSon bring to Princeton? I will not even tell you what he wears day-to-day, other than to remind you that he's a metalhead...</p>
<p>tiffanys is cute, but some may deem it as 'so bat mitzvah', get them something from a private dealer or cartier.</p>
<p>hmmmm, cartier? Now there's a thought! You NYC girls are wayyyy ahead of the rest. Going to check out Cartier website...</p>
<p>prettyfish - the 1st link of post #4 = so, so cute. <em>swoon</em></p>
<p>I know rings are an iffy idea because you need to measure sizes like someone said (i know first-hand since I've got to help organize graduation rings this week), but this mesh one is really nice:</p>
<p>Does anyone like this one?

Maybe it's a little kiddish, but if you could get something written on the pendant, that'd really be something.</p>
<p>You're very sweet, dizzymom : )</p>
<p>The perfect gift is... food. Guys love food. I love food :X</p>
<p>...or a full-keyed, MIDI input/output, durable, professional-sounding keyboard. Mmmm. <em>licks lips</em></p>
