This Almost NEVER Happens!

Deb Savvy — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 21:18:18 +0000

When I was last in Paris and Madrid, I shopped lots and lots and lots of fine crystal. Especially crystal jewelry. What can I say? I just like that kind of stuff – Baccarat, Orrefors, Swarovski, Lalique, Stueben. I browsed them all, up close and personal. Of all of the luxury crystal lines offering jewelry lines, Swarovski stood out among them all. The store was gleaming and gorgeous, of course. And their newest collections are simply stunning.

That’s not the breaking news – Swarovski jewelry is always stunning. Here’s the thing that almost never happens. They’ve launched a coupon code! And just in time for Mother’s Day.

Crystal Cravings

Deb Savvy — Thu, 01 May 2008 20:41:51 +0000

I browsed a lot of crystal when I was in Paris and Madrid last month. Lots of crystal. I visited Baccarat and Lalique. All the biggies. And a lot of smaller crystal makers, too. The one brand that sparkled brighter than the rest this trip was Swarovski . The stores are impeccably merchandised, which totally highlighted the beauty of each piece. And their new collections are SPECTACULAR! Especially the jewelry and gift items.

From whimsical butterflies to simple geometrics, their crystal jewelry and accessories are one of my top picks for luxury gift items this season. Perfect for Mother’s Day or just about any other occasion. And, by the way, there’s no reason to exclude yourself from your gift giving list. Indulge yourself. You deserve it.

Breaking news. This is a really nice offer and perfectly timed for Mother’s Day. While supplies last, they are offering a free gift of a jewelry roll with any $125 purchase. You can indulge Mom doubly this year – with the gift of a piece of Swarovski jewelry or perhaps a crystal butterfly or some other fabulous piece for the home.

For Beauty Everlasting….

Deb Savvy — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 00:56:49 +0000

The only down side to sending flowers on Mother’s Day (or any other day, for that matter) is that you know that in less than two weeks your thoughtful, beautiful and (most likely) expensive gift is but a fond memory. If you’re looking for something of the same order that will last just a bit longer, we’ve got a great option for you. Consider the gift of a live topiary from FreshTopiary. Real trees are perfectly preserved at the peak of their beauty. No water. No maintenance. No worries.

All at about the same price as a nice floral arrangement.

A Tisket, A Tasket

Fun and Fashion with Photos

Deb Savvy — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 04:29:29 +0000

I love this idea. Photo bracelets like this one from Lillian Vernon are great gifts for moms, grandmothers and aunts - for Mother’s Day or any other special occasion. They’re also great fun for the tween and early teen set. The bracelet is made of six small linked frames. You add the photos and it becomes a wearable scrapbook.

A photo bracelet makes a fun and anything but ordinary baby shower gift. What a great way for a new mom to keep the little ones at close hand!

A Perfect Gift For The Woman Who Has Everything

Deb Savvy — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 21:56:39 +0000

Consider giving her a beautiful crystal perfume bottle. I recently received one as an unexpected gift and was completely delighted. It’s an elegant touch on the vanity or dresser top and also functional. A crystal perfume bottle can be a terrific romantic gift for a wife or girlfriend, also a well received hostess gift or mother’s day gift.

Red Pyramid Crystal Perfume Bottle $29.95 at Ross-Simons.com where there’s a nice selection of crystal perfume bottles.
