Day 5: Make Your Gifts Memorable
A truly gifted shopper knows it’s all about attitude. Pieces that pop are sure to boost every mood and are unforgettable, too.
The season’s keywords—merry, joy, happy—are not short on positive connotations. But, as it’s been said, actions speak louder than words. So, to truly spread holiday cheer, why not choose gifts that send a joyous message by being as intensely hued as the papers they’re wrapped in? Saks Fifth Avenue has an especially strong selection, this season, of pieces that pop (as evidenced by the truly delightful Eugenia Kim hat and gloves featured in the video above.)
So let us suggest a new, fun way to shop for your loved ones this season--by color. Chromotherapy—the use of colors to treat a variety of issues—has been in practice since ancient times.
While the feelings associated with specific colors are undeniably influenced by several factors—cultural beliefs, societal traditions, personal experience—the properties of certain colors can be somewhat broadly agreed upon. Below, a guide culled from color theories. Keep it in mind while shopping, and check out the slideshow for a selection of a full spectrum of options from Saks Fifth Avenue.
Red: confidence, passion
Orange: ambition, freedom
Yellow: optimism, happiness
Green: renewal, prosperity
Blue: serenity, focus
Purple: creativity, mystery
Pink: sweetness, love
Brown: stability, wholesomeness
Black: power, intelligence
White: purity, light
