Rings and Stackable Rings for Valentines Day.

February 2, 2020 by Anne Sweet 4 Comments

February 14th

I’d never say no to a gift on Valentines Day, I generally get chocolates or flowers, but rings would be nice. I do love pretty rings, so I thought I’d share a few of my favourite rings for Valentines Day, including Stackable rings. I like stackable rings because you can choose different styles and wear them on the same finger. I’m a fan of stackable bracelets too for the same reason.

Rings for all budgets

You can push the boat out for a perfect ring, or if your budget is limited there are always costume jewellery. You can also choose custom made rings, or something more unusual. I’m going to share with you a collection of some of my favourite rings. Some of them may be affiliate links so if you click you may earn me a little a money. But most of them are not.

Stackable Rings

Sometimes it’s nice to go for simple and elegent like these City Stacker rings in 14k gold for £480

Pandora Stackable rings

Or if you don’t want to fork out for real gold, how about these gold plated rings from Pandora, at £45 each

Valentines Rings

Nothing says love like a red heart. This is the One Heart Ring from Swarovoski. It’s Rhodium plated and costs £49

How cute is this sterling silver personalised entwined ring from Jewlr, just £114.

two entwined silver rings wtih one blue and one white heart and two engraved names.

Something Different?

Not into hearts or diamonds? How about bees? You can always trust Etsy to come up with something a little different. This Sterling silver bee ring would be something I’d be happy to receive. Just £28.09

Or maybe a Princess crown ring available in rose gold or silver and only £20.04. this is also a good stackable ring.

Something for Him.

What about if you want to buy a ring for your man? Well, there are plenty to choose from. Here’s a few of my favourites.

Theis 9ct yellow gold men’s ring with diamond and sapphire is really special. You can get one from Ernest Jones for £450.

But you don’t have to go for gold. What about this unusual black carbon inlay tungston ring? It can be personalised with a message of your choice. Just £79 from Jewlr

As always, I love something a little different and this MÖBIUS ring in sterling silver for £185. I really lovely the shape.

What do you think? Do you celebrate Valentines Day, would you consider a ring as a perfect gift? Which one of these is your favourite?

Have Yourself A Merry Etsy Christmas

December 4, 2019 by Anne Sweet 3 Comments

Do you buy Etsy gifts? I love the site for finding unusual gifts that you can’t get anywhere else. It’s also lovely to be able to support small businesses, people who work so hard to make things to sell.

I’m still hoping to open a shop myself, but I’m way behind in making stuff to actually open up so it really gives me an impression on how hard these sellers work.

Last Christmas I wrote a post on some lovely gift ideas I found from Etsy, so I though I’d do the same again this year. I hope you find something you like, the links will be affiliate links which won’t cost you anything extra but may earn me a little money, so thank you and Merry Christmas.

Crystals

Boo, is crystal crazy. She loves all stones and was so excited when she realised that I had a stash myself. I used to buy crystals many years ago as they always made me feel good. Here are some crystal gifts I’ve found on Etsy.

Healing Crystals and Stones Gift Set

This is an unusual etsy gift but it’s perfect for anyone who likes to use crystals for healing purposes.

Rose Crystal Planter

I love this unusual gift planter, it’s really eye catching.

Rose Crystal Bracelet

If you prefer to wear your crystals you can’t beat a beautiful bracelet like this rose quartz one.

Crafty Etsy Gifts

Etsy is all about crafts, but maybe you know someone who likes to craft. You can also buy gifts that would please anyone with a crafting hobby. Here is a few unusual gifts I’ve picked.

Stitch Markers

Anyone who crochets or knits always needs lots of stitch markers, and these days you can get such beautiful ones. I love collecting them as much as using them. so this has to be my first choice.

Embroidery kit

I adore this little embroidery kit, but if it’s not to your liking do click through to the shop as the owner has so many gorgeous patterns.

Sewing kit for kids

Kids like crafting too, and this little bag contains some cute sewing projects for children aged 8 and over.

Wish Bracelet

There are loads of wish bracelets to choose from on Etsy. My eye was caught by this cute rabbit one.

Shampoo Bar

This will not offend anyone, it’s eco friendly, vegan and useful. And it sounds like it will smell delightful. oops! I just put one in my basket.

Gamer Socks

Got a gamer in the house, who hasn’t these days? These are for Fortnite fans but I’m sure you can find others.

Emergency Gin Keyring

Perfect little gift for a gin lover, I love how you can choose to have it sealed and filled with a glue like substance, or left open so you can actually fill it with your own gin, you know, just in case of an emergency …many more keyrings are available and they make lovely presents.

I hope you have enjoyed my little guide. What do you love about Etsy?
