My wife's birthday was coming up and I wanted to get her a special present. She always tells me to not to splurge on gifts for her but for once, I decided1 to pull out all the stops.
I went to the jewelry2 store and began looking at all of the display cases. I started by looking at the bracelets3. The sales clerk asked me if I was looking for a bangle or a chain bracelet4. I told her that I wasn't sure and she showed me some in yellow gold, white gold, and platinum5. None of them seemed like my wife's style so I moved onto the rings. The clerk asked if my wife liked diamonds and I told her that she did, but that she also liked other stones, like emeralds, rubies6, or sapphires7. I looked at a lot of anniversary bands but none really fit the bill.
Finally, I walked over to the display case with the necklaces. There was a pearl necklace with a really beautiful clasp. I had never seen anything like it before and I was sure my wife was going to like it. I told the clerk that I would take it.
The clerk placed the necklace in its box and gift-wrapped it. I have to say that when I left the store, I felt pretty proud of myself. I knew my wife would like the present and I picked it out all by myself. Now, I can't wait to see the look on her face when she opens it!
