Heavily discounted jewerlry/accessories...

This is going to sound awful. I am not a tight person at all, but 4 of my friends turn 50 this month and next, and they all live in EU countries, so I am finding myself with the prospect of spending a fortune on special gifts and postage, which right now is really difficult as I am equipping my son to get ready for Uni and all associated costs.

Each of these friends made a special effort for me when I turned 50 in February. The date coincided with my dog being put down, and I can't tell you how much their thoughtfulness and support meant to me.

I totally want to send them something but I can't spend a fortune, so I am looking to take advantage of online sales and be able to buy a simple bracelet, necklace or scarf that would normally be more expensive. Something tiny that won't cost too much to post.

These four friends do not know each other so I can buy the same gift for all.

I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of websites that sell decent accessories and are currently holding a sale? TIA!

Look at the tk maxx site in the gold lable section for designer scarves, there is usually a good selection

InspiredToBoot · 15/08/2022 09:34

Thank you both. Had a look, none suitable so hope for further recommendations. Thanks so much.

What's your budget?

InspiredToBoot · 15/08/2022 09:44

@Greengr I feel I could manage something under £20 for each of them, but I don't want the item to cost that if that makes sense.

Orelia is online & is where I buy a lot of gold plated / pearl/ beaded jewellery at various prices.

Various Etsy shops such as Riptide, Miss Audrey

The high street store Warren James sell some nice gold vermeil pieces

SommerTen · 15/08/2022 09:51

Orelia has an extra 10% of sale with the code SALEEXCLUSIVE.

You would get nice pieces for under £15 each from the sale, some with semi precious stones.

As I said, lots of sales on Etsy recently bought a silver bangle that was originally £40 and it was half price in the sale

www.orelia.co.uk/collections/sale/products/constellation-necklace?variant=32199676002406

These are £5 and personal.

BrandAlley might have some great discounts? Sometimes it's amazing, but you have to be a bit lucky

CinnamonJellyBeans · 15/08/2022 11:27

Sometimes in the rush of life and thankless tasks, it's so lovely to hear someone tell you something true and unique about why you are special. This is worth more than a present. Write it down on a nice postcard that she can put in a drawer and treasure (especially after you are dead)

Then distill word or phrase from your longer message and put it in a ring that she can wear and take strength/comfort/joy from when she's cleaning the bog/getting a bollocking from her boss/being mansplained to

that's the first one I googled, so you may be able to get it cheaper than £25, or get a discount if you order four.

ALDO do really nice jewellery for really good prices. I would order something for under 10 then take the packaging off and wrap them in tissue to send

Lndnmummy · 15/08/2022 13:18

I love brandalley for stuff like this

Summerhillsquare · 15/08/2022 15:29

What a lovely idea @CinnamonJellyBeans - I'm going to borrow that 😁

InspiredToBoot · 16/08/2022 09:02

Thanks @CinnamonJellyBeans and everyone else.
So far I have found some decent discounts in Estella Bartlett, but haven't bought anything yet.
