Some People!

Posted in Accessories, Bling, Gifts for Girls, Gifts under $40, Mirrors, Pens at 2:24 am by Deb Savvy

Some people can be really difficult to shop for. We all know a few people like that. Some of us can even be people like that ourselves. People who dress well, have what they want and need, don’t have a lot of clutter in their homes and don’t really want you to send them a magnificent box of chocolates because they’re really trying to watch it now so they can fit into that fabulous dress for the fabulous thing at that fabulous place next month. Hostess gifts. Birthday gifts. Any gift is a huge challenge – especially if you just want to gift something relatively small and not that expensive. Here are a couple of options if you find yourself in one of these particular gifting predicaments.

Compact Mirror Round Crystal Gift with Swarovski Crystals - Zebra
Compact Mirror Round Crystal Gift
with Swarovski Crystals – Zebra

I think a beautiful compact or purse mirror is always a great choice. We all need them. We all use one. And a luxe and sparkly one like this Swarovski Crystal Embellished Compact Mirror is a perfect little something special to tuck away in an evening bag.
Anthony David® Ball Point Pen with Swarovski Crystals - Floral
Anthony David® Ball Point Pen
with Swarovski Crystals – Floral

A pen is also great gift. Something diva-esque like this blinged out number adds some fun and spunk to what can be a bit traditional.

I found both of these great gifts for $39.99 each at All Things Trendy where you’ll find a pretty nice selection of Swarovski embellished gift items and accessories. Including a load of gift options for under $100.

And while you’re there, don’t forget to check out their AMAZING selection of Swarovski Crystal evening bags by Anthony David. Comparable in quality and look to super high end names like Judith Lieber, these bags are a fraction of the cost with many elaborate choices available for under $400 and simpler designs selling for much less.

The Gift of Useful Luxury

Posted in Business Gifts, Father's Day, Gifts, Graduation, Pens at 3:09 am by Deb Savvy

Stumped for a gift idea? Hoping for something with a bit more ’staying power’ than flowers or candy? I’m a huge fan of elegant pens and writing instruments. Few people buy a really nice pen for themselves yet nearly everyone appreciates and enjoys having one. Or two. And isn’t that one of the keys to successful gifting? Because a pen is so useful, you’ll be remembered frequently. Choose a really cool pen and you’ll be remembered and appreciated everytime someone comments on it.

Fall Coupon- $10 off $75 at Executive Essentials Cross 70% Off Sale

Pens make a great graduation gift and are perfect for Father’s Day and lots of other special occasions. A new pen is a great way to celebrate a new job or a promotion and can be a terrific thank you gift for clients or business associates. A realtor once gave me a lovely pen as a gift when we arrived at the closing. I used her gift to sign the documents. It added a bit of fun to all that tedious paperwork.
