This is a one-off.
Which makes this a one-of-a-kind, if you will.
Because.
Christmas.
I like to get a head start on Christmas shopping. Which isn’t difficult seeing as you can sit a-la P.Jarm ‘n’ hot choc in hand, tap tapping away these days.
Ticking off those gifts one by one, without the threat of cold hands, rain-induced hair-frizz, and no moaning from my offspring as I drag them from shop to shop. Or worse – rushing around like a mother possessed to finish in time for school pick up.
No extortionate car park charges.
Need I go on about the merits of being a Sofa-Savvy-Shopper?
Probably not.
Mumas have all got this.
A few weeks ago I was approached by Personally Presented to choose something from their website and review it.
This couldn’t have been better timed.
You see, it was during my ‘list phase’ (everyone has a list phase, right?!).
Ordinarily I would have fired off a quick ‘Thanks but no thanks, I have zero time, I am training to be a journalist and am working many, many M A N Y hours for F R E E right now.’
But.
Oh the pretty things.
Oh… the one thing I desperately have been looking for. (‘Desperately’ might be a little OTT)
Was right there.
On their website.
(A really lovely, pretty and easy-to-use website.)
Jewellery boxes. Personalised jewellery boxes. Matching personalised jewellery boxes.
Anyone out there with daughters who share my pain if one of them should acquire an item (something important like, say, a jelly bean) and the other one doesn’t?
All hell lets loose.
They must have exactly.the.same Everything.
Or “It’s not F A I R” fills the air at grenade decibels.
I can’t handle that. So it’s matchy-matchy all round for us.
Anyway, back to the jewellery boxes…
Not twee. Not childish. But, not grown-up either.
My requirements were specific, but there were plenty of options to scroll through and choose from.
Glass ones. Painted ones. All could be personalised.
The website is a little like Not On The High Street actually, but it’s a family run business which I just think is rather nice.
There was free shipping, and as soon as my order was received I had a confirmation email, and then another when the boxes were dispatched.
I had them in my hand just two days later.
