If you love crystals as I do, you love giving them as gifts to your friends and family. From crystal bracelets to a set of tumbles for a particular intention or a cluster you think would enhance someone's career path - crystals are an awesome gift idea.
Where to start:
Make your list and check it twice ;)
Crystals are personal gifts that are chosen for a certain intention for your friend. So that means the crystal gift will be an expression of your thoughts and knowledge of your friend. Some friends may find these kinds of gifts too personal so take care of who you choose to give a crystal gift to.
2. Budget
When I start buying crystal tumbles to make a crystal set for each of my friends, I kind of lose it in a crystal shop in that I just fill up my hamper with many different crystals. Have a budget and stick to it! We have crystals in our lives to enhance our energy and as part of our self-care. Part of self-care is taking care of your finances and not giving more than you should according to your income and other financial demands, i.e rent. There is a crystal for every budget.
3. Intention
Before you start buying, what is the intention of the crystal gift? If you have a friend who is looking to change careers, perhaps your crystal gift to this friend will have the intention to help in watching out for opportunities. Citrine and pyrite would help with this intention. If you have another friend who does not like change and takes a long time to make decisions, please do not give them Moldavite. Moldavite is a powerful stone that brings on transformation where it is meant to be and if your friend isn't ready for change then they will think this crystal gift is ruining their life.
4. Research
Consult the crystal experts in your local crystal shop. I always champion the local crystal shop (or any local metaphysical shop that sells crystals), not only are they experts, but they also support your community! People who work in these shops know the crystals and where the crystals came from. Were the crystals obtained ethically? As an energy healer, this is very important!
5. Include a note:
Let your friend know why they are receiving this crystal by including a note that explains the crystal and its intention. I always include a little note about the name of the crystal and why I am giving it to them.
6. Have fun!
You decided to include crystals in your gift-giving for the holiday season so do it with love, fun, and good intentions. This should not be a project and nor should it be a chore. Learn about crystals and share your passion for crystals!
