With that in mind thoughtful gifts should generally be;
Here you can think about what they value and how they spend their free time. What makes them smile? If you are unsure, take a moment to consider the style of their home, or scroll through some of their social media photos. Maybe the receiver is a nature-based enthusiast who loves raw and natural gifts that mimic the natural environment for example. Here you could opt for a pretty pot plant, a nature book or an item that they can wear or use when outdoors. Whatever your gift may be, if it reflects the recipient’s likes and interest and enhances their experience with their hobbies, it will likely mean the world to them!
Have you ever heard the phrase “it’s the thought that counts” when it comes to gifting? The underlying denominator here, is ensuring that the gift is well-thought-out with a level of care. Something that evokes a nice memory will always be well received. For example, a candle, roll on or diffuser where the scent takes you both back to a unique time. I remember receiving a perfume that my best friend sent to me while she was travelling the world. It was a scent that we used as teenagers when we would dress up and go out together. The ‘feel good emotions’ that took hold of me when I sprayed its divine mist was a flood of happy tears! I will never forget opening that one. Recreate the experience or bring to life the memories that you had together and look forward to more in the future.
Something special, that doesn’t necessarily have to be serious. Something that will make the receiver giggle and give them feel good feels. Think about their sense of humour, what sets them off? This can be just as important as making it a heartfelt gift.
You can go completely generic, or you could again match the card with the receiver’s interest and hobbies. Tap into their sense of humour with something funny or moving. Something that will give them a sense of pleasure and familiarity.
Take a moment to yourself (if possible) to think about the person. What is it that you like about them? Why do you think they are special and worthy of your gift? Let them know, with a heartfelt personalised note. Close you eyes and picture the person for a moment…this can really help!
You have the perfect gift, you have written a heartfelt message in the super-niche gift card, now it is time to wrap it! Think about their favourite colours, what sort of patterns or prints do they like. Again, is there a wrapping paper that appeals to their interests, hobbies or even a memory that you have shared?
At the end of the day if you are stuck for ideas, a Gift Voucher will always ensure they will be gifted something that they can completely resonate with.
Many people relish in the idea of gift giving. The excitement of providing something special that will truly excite and delight them is a wonderful feeling for both parties!

You might notice some of our products listings include Flat Lay Measurements.
With Flat Lay Measurements, we lay the garment on the counter and measure from one side of the garment to the other.
]]>You might notice some of our products listings include Flat Lay Measurements.
With Flat Lay Measurements, we lay the garment on the counter and measure from one side of the garment to the other.
We usually only do this measurement where we feel there is a critical fit. Often it is just the bust measurement on a dress. If the sleeves are more fitted we will include a measurement for there, as well as any other areas we feel are relevant and require measuring.
You can compare that measurement to a similar dress you have in your wardrobe. Just be careful that they are the same type of fabric, you don’t want to compare a stretch fabric with a Rayon which has no stretch.
Sometimes we measure the waist of pants and dresses that have elastic. We will include a measurement unstretched and then stretch the elastic to about 90% capacity and include a measurement of that.
Points to note with a Flatlay Measurement
Items like jeans and super stretchy items are difficult to do Flat lay with. It is best to read our descriptions for advice.
Here is examples of the text we will write.
The XS bust measurement of 43cm would have a circumference of 86cm - i.e. you double the measurement. You would then check to see if there is any elastic in that area, is it meant to be worn as a tight fit on the bust.
Flatlay Measurements:
BUST
XS - 43 CM
SM - 45 CM
ML - 47 CM
XL - 50 CM
HIPS
XS - 55 CM
SM - 57 CM
ML - 59 CM
XL - 61 CM
RELAXED FIT - Generally means the item is generous in sizing and you may need to size down. It is best to contact us if you are concerned.
TRUE TO SIZE - Means that the item is generally True to Size for that brand only. As there are no standard sizing in Australia every brand is different. Even some brands can vary wildly in their sizing between styles. Jaase is one brand that has some big variances between styles.
Despite our best efforts sometimes certain styles don't suit all body shapes. If you receive something you aren't happy with please contact us to discuss something that maybe more suitable for your body shape.
Important note: All our Flat Lay Measurements are approximate, there is no guarantee that every item will be the same due to the nature of the manufacturing process. It is not viable for every garment to be measured before sending.

Jaase has really done a great job of providing us with a lovely range of Jackets this year. We love being a stockist of so many amazing and affordable products, their styles are ever changing and always on trend.
The Jaase Belmont Jacket has been my most popular to date with many of my customers going crazy for this lovely new style. I must admit I had to get one myself in the Raya Print which suits my colouring perfectly. There was a small issue with the band on the sleeves being a little tight on some, Jaase had noted that so I think any future makes will resolve this issue!
Another super popular style was the Jaase Tan Sivan Jacket, wow wee it was amazing and my online customers swooped on them.
Jaase Jodi Jacket was bought back this year, it is a great allrounder and I have been able to wear it with so many of my Indianas and other outfits. It looks really great, their black one was to die for.
My newest favourite is the Amazon Jacket, its' nearly the end of winter up here in Far North Queensland but I am sitting here in it and it is super comfortable. I can't wait to go camping so I can wear it, looking forward to looking stylish around the campfire. So well made with zips on all the pockets, draw strings in lots of places so that you can keep the warmth in. It has a generous hoody so i could wear my hair up in a bun or have a pony tale and the hood still fits, plus I have a big head ha haa! It also has some lovely embroidered features down the arms.
If you love the Bohemian embellished look we have the Carmada Jacket in, with a faux suede fabric, embellished embroidered section across shoulders with some light coins dangling down. My favourite part is the unusual tassles that are half dingle berries and half tassles, they are super cute.
Something completely different is the Electric Feels Navy Jacket. The rich Navy colour is really something else and the embellished sleeve cuffs are super cool!.

Taking proper caring for your newly acquired leather items can sometimes prove to be a worrying task, and requires a fair share of patience.
First off, keep in mind that natural wear and tear to any leather product is bound to happen, and this ageing affect, called the 'patina,' is a beautiful part of the leather aging process.
Different types of leather age differently, hardier and thicker cows leather can last longer than a soft suede. Choose carefully considering your lifestyle choices, if you are a rough and tumble fun type then darker coloured leathers might suit you better!
At massagebyrenato, we have a range of new stock from Jaase. Jaase dresses, tops, pants and more. We also have a beautiful range of Accessories to go with your beautiful new outfit.
Jaase is a beautiful feminine range of clothing, epitomising the bohemian goddess but in an affordable and fashionable way. The quality is excellent with an ever changing range of colours, prints and styles that keeps it fresh.
