My mum asked me what I'd like, I said I'd quite like a piece of jewellery. I don't really have much jewellery and have wanted some nice bits for ages - annoyingly, no one has ever given me a piece of jewellery that I like - in retrospect, this should have been a warning sign. Past disasters have included a Pandora bracelet, which I also hate (too bling-y, a bit commercial).
She's got me a necklace, and I really, really don't like it. I feel bad for not liking it, but it's just not my style at all! It's all metal, despite me mentioning I'd like a bit of sparkle, and all sort of boxy pseudo New Age, with a twee message on the back. And it wasn't cheap, either.
I feel both disappointed and guilty at being disappointed. I know I am being U, but why do people keep giving me this kind of 'handmade' odd looking stuff?? I'm tempted to create a pinterest board and just email a link to people in the future.
