Birthstones make ideal gifts, but did you realize that there is more than one list of birthstones? If you combine the different birthstone gems, flowers and colors from the different lists the combinations can be bewildering. However, by choosing from the various birthstone charts we can create many unique gift ideas. The traditional birthstone chart is the one that most people use for birthstone gifts. Each month has a particular gemstone associated with it. When you look at the list you can immediately see that some stones are much more expensive than others. If you were born in April for example the stone is diamond. For August it is peridot. You may have to shop around to find a gift of the required value.

For those people who like to read their horoscopes there is a zodiac birthstone chart. This provides a gem for each of the star signs. You could use this as an alternative to the traditional list to find a more affordable gift. The Celtic calendar was divided into 13 parts. Each part has name, a tree and a birthstone. This Celtic birthstone chart provides even more choice as to stones and gifts. Give a tree for the garden and they will have a gift that will last for a very long time.

You can choose many types of jewelry containing the appropriate stones. You could give a mother a bracelet with the stones of her children. It is obviously best to stick with one list and find a gift of the appropriate value. It may be possible to use alternative gems or use gems of the same color if the actual birthstone proves too expensive. The traditional birthstone charts has flowers and colors associated with each month. A bouquet of the corresponding flowers can be given along with the gift to make it really special. Put the gift in a box of the appropriate color to enhance the presentation.

You will need to ensure that you have exactly the right birth date for the person if you are going to give the appropriate birthstone gift. This is particularly important if you are using the astrological or Celtic lists as they do not correspond to calendar months. If you examine all of the lists and options then I am sure you can create a unique and memorable gift.
