Off to uni - Good Luck gift guide!

Going to off to uni is an exciting experience even if a little daunting, so if you know someone who's starting university soon, whether it be a daughter, son, friend or neighbour, why not give them a little gift of encouragement for their new adventure?

Our beautiful British Idiom jewellery holds lovely optimistic messages, so when its worn, the new student is reminded of its meaning! From lucky clovers to a key to success, these are the ideal gifts to inspire achieving goals as well as celebrating their achievements!




Sometimes starting uni can mean moving to a brand new place. And home is still very important, so our Personalised Map range is designed to capture cherished locations, or making memories in a new one! A double-sided keyring or Map personalised cufflinks can show two locations, or add as many charms you like to a cluster pendant! Add an engraved message to the back too, perhaps with the date that the new terms starts or when moving day comes! The possibilities are endless, and make a fabulous heartfelt gift.

The Great British Idiom!

We are huge fans of the great British idiom at Ellie Ellie. If you're not sure what exactly an idiom is, it's a group of words that have a particular meaning together that is different from the meanings of each word on its own. You can see an example of a British idiom with our new Idiom jewellery collection!

'Apple of my eye' is a well known idiom referring to someone that you cherish above all others, making it perfect for a girlfriend or best friend.

'Love you to the moon and back' is a well known idiom to tell someone how much they mean to you. The huge distance described relates to the lengths of your love for them.

To give someone 'butterflies' is a well known saying related to falling in love and refers to the feeling in their stomach because a person makes them feel special.




'Birds of a feather, flock together' is a well known idiom linked to friendship. The saying refers to birds of the same species, keeping together and being strong, making these studs a great gift for your best friend.

'Every cloud has a silver lining' is a well known idiom related to optimism. It means that difficult times often lead to better times and that the dark clouds will pass, to reveal sunshine. 

Do you have a favourite idiom?
