F Hinds

Men aren’t built to buy gifts for women. Men are easy to buy for. If it has a control pad, it’s a five star present. If it needs to be fuelled to operate, it’s a five star present. If it’s potentially life threatening, it’s a five star present. Simple. Women are not that easy though. You have to worry about the colour, the size, the shape, the design, what it will go with, what she’ll do with it, how she’ll interpret the gift… It’s a minefield.
That’s why, when it comes to buying birthday and Christmas presents for the females in my life, whether it’s my girlfriend, my mum, or the more feminine of my two sisters, I will happily admit to being an absolute coward. Jewellery is the safe bet. Sure, there’s the risk that you might buy something so eye-​scarringly horrendous for her to wear that she will insist on picking all your clothes for the next nine decades as you clearly had a taste-​ectomy somewhere along the line, but there’s always the «well, at least you tried!» factor that serves as a safety net for the male shopper.
Stores like F Hinds are god sends in this respect. This one in particular is large enough to stock any kind of jewellery you can imagine, with staff knowledgeable enough to help you with your selection. For the taste-​retarded males among us, they come highly recommended.
