Luxury gift around £50?

41 replies

BillyBearSpam · 25/06/2021 15:45

I'm looking for something for a friend, around the £50 mark but could go a little higher...

Not facial skin care or jewellery or a candle. Or food/alcohol.

Looking for something like a leather good, makeup, body care type thing?

Anything that comes with lovely packaging a bonus!

Chanel do the mirrored compact and eyelash curlers which I think would be around £60 for the 2

I’ve lost count of how many of those Chanel compact mirrors I’ve given as gifts. Quite budget friendly but still a luxurious little gift for someone!

@Thewiseoneincognito and @QueenOfPain I've looked for the channel compact, but I can only find a make up contact and separate curlers. Am I searching for the wrong thing? A link would be really good if you have time, TIA. Grin

I don’t know if pp was referring to a set or two separate items.

This is the mirror I normally get. You can’t really see from pics but when it’s closed it’s a sleek black compact with a white embossed Chanel logo on the front.

Link here to the front design. It comes with a little velvet sleeve to keep it free from scratches in a handbag too.

To get back to the original remit for the op, I was eyeing up this credit card holder the other day, but don't have any experience of the brand, but I like that it had lots of pockets, for all my loyalty cards.here
Thanks for that link @SpongeBobJudgeyPants. That cardholder looks like it might be a good gift for my OH or for myself actually.

Same here. They’re onto a winner with them.

Thanks @QueenOfPain Weirdly, that one doesn't one doesn't come up on the Chanel site, just on Feel Unique!

@JingsMahBucket no problem. IME they last longer when the card slot is leather. I had a big brand name one with the plastic sleeves, but in a remarkably short space of time, the plastic had started to tear down the edges, which it really shouldn't have, for the brand name or the price. Think famous for the floral chintzy patterns.

I may have caved and bought the gold lipstick holder. Grin

It’s a little thing of beauty!

If I weren’t being very strict right now I’d definitely have treated myself to one or two things as well. Sigh.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 29/06/2021 13:34

It is Nink! I justified it as it came from my 0 birthday money, so technically it was a present. And I find that if I don't get at least something with it, it just gets into the general money fund, and not spent on me Grin

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 29/06/2021 13:35

@BillyBearSpam did you make a decision on what to buy?

Ninkanink · 29/06/2021 14:27

I think OP said she found something but doesn’t want to say exactly what, just in case. Smile

Ninkanink · 29/06/2021 14:41

@SpongeBobJudgeyPants

Sigh. I had just one more 👀 and what do you think might have happened?

................................................................................

I just had to get that little gold tidy all - I needed some summer accessories, and it will go so nicely with my rosewater evening bag. Of course then I also had to get the matching key ring. 😳😳 but at least I didn’t buy the accordion card holder as well, right?

—only because they didn’t have it in that colour way—

Sigh. I’ll never learn NOT TO LOOK THAT ONE LAST TIME!!

Ah well. I’m sure there’s something lurking in a cupboard somewhere that I can sell to balance the books...

That's right! Just in case they're on here. Wink

@BillyBearSpam did you buy anything for yourself or are you a far more disciplined person than me?
