In Love with Vera Bradley

Posted in Fashion, Gift Ideas, Pretty Things Collections | 0 comments

I have some nieces who’ll be celebrating their birthdays soon and I had been hopping around for some gifts for teenage girls. I think I’m feeling the generation gap hahaha and finding it hard now to find appropriate gifts for these age group.

But a couple of hops around the net led me to this Vera Bradley website and I found myself tumbling headlong into love! Seriously. I love their floral collection of tote bags and what’s great is that there are a lot of color and print choices for each design. Prices are very affordable too.

Here’s some very pretty and cute gift ideas for teenage girls.

Double Kiss Coin Purse – various colors available. gift under $30.

Forget-Me-Nots in Rosy Posies – lots of color choices. gift under $15.

Under Cover Laptop Skin in Folkloric – wow! want this. personalize your notebook with these covers. And best of all, they are so cheap! Under $20

Perfect Match Pen and Pencil Set in Floral Nightingale - so pretty. comes in sets and different colors. Under $30.

100 Handbag – I want this for myself. And preferably in a lot of colors. All looks so delicious and summery!

I also love how uncluttered and easy to navigate their site is. Too bad they don’t accept credit cards without US billing address and they only ship to US. I’m waiting for the day they open their store for international buyers. For the meantime, you can have some friends living in US buy it or if you’re into personal shopping/forwarding service then it can be a go around.

Looking for gifts for ladies? At the onset, there are lots of things that would make nice gifts for women, but as you search, the sheer number of these things to choose from becomes more and more daunting. One thing I know though, most women love little trinkets. Take for instance my mom and some of my girl friends, they love charms.

So I’ve been searching around looking for pretty, unique, and affordable charms for these ladies. I like the idea of giving my mom as well as friends one charm in every special day. This might also point you to the right direction if you are looking for gift ideas for girls. All items I picked are on the below $25 price bracket, you don’t even have to wait for Black Friday sale to grab these since they are pretty much affordable. Lol! I know I’m generous but I’m also mindful of the budget. But still these look pretty enough and not even cheap looking..
