Fine silverware purveyor Christofle recommends exquisite gift ideas
There are few things in life that feel as good as giving a gift. However, more often that not, choosing the right gift can be a frustrating affair. But when in doubt, why not go for the classic elegance of silver?
To aid you in choosing the perfect silver piece for any occasion, we talk to Benjamin Bilteryst, Asia-Pacific Managing Director of Christofle, a leading purveyor of fine silverware, to note down the best silver pieces for every occasion.
For weddings
When choosing the perfect wedding gift, opt for items that the newlyweds can use to commemorate their special day. Avoid gifts that bear inauspicious tidings such as clocks.
Bilteryst's Recommendations: Christofle photo frames or wedding set
For your parents' anniversary
There is nothing more heartwarming than to witness your parents celebrating their years of togetherness and love. Hence, opt for a gift that expresses your appreciation for your parents' unconditional love. Once again, for such a happy occasion, avoid inauspicious items such as clocks.

For your own anniversary
For that special gift to your spouse, go for a fashion accessory that can be worn regularly as well as celebrate the years of marriage together. It goes without saying, but avoid items that are not in line with the style of your significant other.

For house warmings
Practicality is key when it comes to house warming gifts, so get something both practical and elegant that the new homeowners can use to entertain guests. It's not advisable to buy gifts too closely related to home furnishings in case it clashes with the decor style of the home.
Bilteryst's Recommendations: Christofle Silver wine decanters and champagne coolers
For a baby shower
Baby showers are often tricky occasions to choose gifts for, but best choices are things that can be used and kept as mementos. Bilteryst advises against giving toys ars they may add clutter to the house.
Bilteryst's Recommendations: Christofle Galacie Et Confetti or a Bowl & Spoon set
