We've all been there: the date is approaching, and the usual options sound, well, usual. Don't worry, it's not you, it's where you're looking. When a gift comes from a designer, the piece arrives with something a generic gift will never have: a story to tell.
These are the categories that never fail when you want to give real Colombian design as a gift.
Jewelry: the sure bet
It doesn't depend on sizes, it doesn't go out of style if well chosen, and it always says something about the giver. A designer necklace or earrings with pre-Columbian roots are made to be worn for years, not just for a season. If you don't know where to start looking for a jewelry gift for women, start here.

Wallets and leather goods: real Colombian leather
Leatherwork is one of those crafts where Colombia excels. A designer wallet or handbag is a daily-use gift: she'll carry it everywhere, and it gets better, not worse, with time. Few gifts accompany everyday life as much as this one.

Accessories and small pieces: small doesn't mean insignificant
Scarves, belts, fans, design objects. They are the best option when the budget is tight but you don't want the gift to seem cheap. A well-chosen designer accessory is worth more than anything bought in a rush at the last minute.
