Holiday Gift Hunting with Pura Vida: 2023 Gift Guide

We may only be a few short days into November but trust us: it’s never too early to start crossing names off your holiday shopping list. 📝 With big shopping days and *huge* holiday sales just around the corner, there’s no better time than the present (🎁) to start planning who you’re gifting what and figuring out where you can score something they’ll love.

That’s where we come in! Pura Vida’s latest collections have everything you need to please everyone on your list. The latest holiday drop features: festive bracelets, new additions to the harper charm bar (including numbers and engravable charms!), new engravable styles, dainty letter necklaces, AND Pura Vida's first-EVER jewelry boxes! ✨

Before browsing the full collection for yourself, here are a few gift ideas for the different people and personalities in your life:

The Sentimental Mom

After years and years of shopping for mom, it can be difficult to come up with ideas for what to get her next. Our advice? Try to concept something that feels personal and custom to her, her life, or her family that she loves so much. Our latest engravable styles are the perfect base for a gift that is so uniquely her. You could choose the Engravable Double-Sided Bar Bracelet and add a date or symbol that’s important to her, or you could use the Engravable Signet Ring and mark it with her initial or the initial of someone she loves. 💞

The Stylish Sister

Though we sometimes don’t like to admit it, so many of us have a sister in our lives that we look up to for advice, wisdom, fashion advice... you name it. If you can relate, it can be dauting to find the perfect gift for her evolving taste and style. That’s where the Harper Charm Bar comes in. ✨ For the holidays this year, you can gift your on-trend sister off with a beautiful and simple base for a charm bracelet, necklace, or earrings, and then start her off with a few charms you know she’ll love. From then, she can start to choose charms for herself that match wherever she may be in her style journey!

The Work Bestie

There’s nothing quite like the bond between you and your favorite coworker, but sometimes, you just don’t know them that well and it can be tough to figure out a gift that they’ll love. This is a great opportunity to work with the theme of the season and give them a simple ornament that’s stocked with stylish stacks or you can split a holiday friendship pack for styles you can wear through the holiday season and beyond. 🎄

The Picky Boyfriend

If you have a boyfriend or partner who is extremely choosy about the jewelry they incorporate into their rotation, we have just the thing to help you navigate this holiday season. Pura Vida’s latest Men’s Collection has subtle, sophisticated pieces that make a statement, so he can seamlessly mix each piece into his wardrobe. From string to steel, this diverse collection is sure to have something he’ll love.

The Newlywed Best Friend


As wedding season winds down, you may have one (or a few!) friends who are newly married and settling into a new chapter in their life. This is an amazing chance to get them a gift that both celebrates the holidays *and* commemorates the incredible year they’ve had. You can pick them up our new Snake Chain Alphabet Necklace or the Dainty Alphabet Bracelet in the first letter of their new last name to gift them an elegant and effortless piece with a thoughtful twist. This is perfect for new moms too with their children's initials -- they won’t be able to resist reaching for something so sweet, sentimental, and stylish when choosing their jewels every day.

Type A Traveler

We know them, we love them, the group chat trip itinerary doesn’t exist without them. Your bestie with the type A personality can often be the most difficult to shop for… until this year. Pura Vida just released our FIRST-EVER jewelry boxes – our most requested item! They’re an organization lover’s dream with so many compartments, trays, and hooks. The type A in your life will be so obsessed with such a simple and stunning storage solution that they can take along to wherever their travels take them.

Pura Vida has so much to offer you in your shopping journey this year, and the pieces mentioned here are just the beginning! Head to our site to browse hundreds of products within collections old and new to jump start your shopping. 🛒
