You've purchased a fabulous piece of fine jewelry like a custom engagement ring or a personalized diamond ring for somebody special and can't wait to see their face when they open the gift. While the giftee remains unaware, your anticipation works until that snapshot of shock and joy.

Yet, on the off chance that you want to hit it out of the park, you won't agree to present your gift without a touch of fanfare. You can have loads of fun with the "large reveal" itself, and it doesn't have to take too much extra effort. Besides, you'll also be giving her a great story to tell each time she flaunts her new bauble.

Turning gift-giving giving into a happening event

Anyone can make dinner reservations and convey a beautifully wrapped gift box over pastry and candlelight. Indeed, even an unexpected party adheres to a standard content once the visitor of honor arrives. In any case, the inspired can elevate the act of giving — and receiving — into an encounter itself. Here are a couple of proposals to kick you off.

1. The improbable delivery person. Your recipient may already anticipate a gift from ...
... you for an upcoming occasion and logically thinks you will be the one to introduce it. That's the place where you can introduce disarray that leads, ultimately, to a happy shock. Find somebody the recipient could never think would give a jewelry gift — or any gift, for that matter. The conspicuous best option would be a small youngster, perhaps your own, yet the task could also fall to a devoted pet that's not opposed to having a small box attached to its collar, or a neighbor who can imagine he got your postal delivery by mistake. Have your child or other special-delivery person approach the recipient with a gift in hand. They don't have to say a lot (especially if it's a canine) aside from "This is for you." Under the circumstances, your giftee won't be prepared for a bit of fine jewelry, so any expectations will be overwhelmed when the person unwraps this magnificent astonishment from you.

2. Fake-Out Packaging. A touch of deception can go far, particularly if you're infamous for not exactly effective gift decisions in the past. The stunt here is to plant seeds of disappointment (perhaps even outrage!) that rapidly goes to delight. Start with the vacant box from some useful, unequivocally non-attractive thing — housewares like office supplies, cleaning items, hardware tools, and the like are ideal. You want a reaction like, "I can't really accept that you would dare to get me X for our anniversary!" Obviously, settling profound within that Trojan-horse packaging will be the real gift — jewelry from you. You may have to invite the person to continue digging to find it tenderly. However, that won't wreck the shock.

3. Scavenger Hunt. This plan takes somewhat more work; however, it can also serve as a gathering activity during a party. Instead of handing over a wrapped gift, you'll present the honoree with an envelope containing the principal piece of information. You can have only a couple of hints or go crazy with a protracted adventure all over the house — or even all over the neighborhood. You can attach each clue to something about the person and your relationship or make them fun and challenging.

4. The Unexpected Discovery. Instead of giving a gift, you can let the recipient happen to unearth it. Whether wrapped or not, but the current place incongruous, you realize he goes each day, for example, inside a medicine cabinet, cereal box, or briefcase. Other conceivable outcomes may be in a shoe or bike head protector you realize he'll put on and then feel something amiss before getting a significant shock. This works best when the unexpected location finds a way into a routine that doesn't vary from day to day, so your giftee is gobsmacked when an out-of-the-norm object appears — "There are sleeve fasteners in the soap dish!" Just be sure not to conceal your gift so well that it gets neglected or lost or descends the drain.
