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.

Being well into the wedding season inspired us to pick our favourites for the wedding party! From Idiom Jewellery to Map cufflinks, there's something special for the bride and groom to add a personal touch to their big day.

For the Blushing Bride, a simple but beautiful necklace will help make a sparkling but subtle statement. Our One For Luck Clover Sterling Silver Necklace is a perfect token of good luck for the future for the bride, whether she's your friend, daughter or neighbour!

If you're after something even more personal, look no further than the Map Personalised Pendant Heart. It offers a beautiful treasured memory, whether its the wedding location, where she met her husband, or their honeymoon destination! The possibilities are endless, and with all segments cut from our huge vintage map collection, there's nothing better for an authentic and thoughtful gift!

So what about the Groom we hear you say? Our best-selling Map Personalised Cufflinks range, just like the map pendants, capture a cherished memory to wear!  They come in Nickel and Gold plated and a stunning Sterling Silver. You can have a personal message engraved onto the back of each cufflink too - The date of the wedding or initials of the happy couple. Whichever you choose, it will make the most meaningful gift!

Sshhhhh.... Sneak Peek!

I have been working on a new 'Coming Soon' feature on our website which is where you're able to see what we are launching at Ellie Ellie before it's launched! The reason for this brilliant feature? We simply don't want to keep new products and exciting new gifts a secret, we want to share them with everyone. 

Having their own snazzy megaphone, you can now see what products we will be launching, which gives you plenty of time to decide where they will best fit in your home, or who would love it as a gift (so we're helping really).  

Once the 'coming soon' megaphone has been replaced with an even snazzier 'new' megaphone, you know it is now in stock and ready to be ordered and delivered to you! 

This Strawberry Recycled Lunch Box Bag is just one of many exciting products coming to Ellie Ellie very soon... 

As always, keep your eyes peeled for our updates and sneak peeks on Instagram and Facebook too! 

The Countdown to Christmas has begun!!

The countdown to Christmas has begun!! Ellie Ellie couldn’t be happier that the Christmas season is finally upon us. We can now celebrate the festive season with copious amounts of mince pies, Christmas songs on the radio and our favourite Christmas jumpers.

We will be celebrating #Christmasjumperday on the 20^th of December and we hope you can join us in wearing your Christmas jumper at work, out shopping or whatever you may be doing!

In the countdown to Christmas this December Ellie Ellie will be bringing you a whole load of great gift ideas, perfect for that hard to buy for husband or fussy friend. We hope we can help you find the perfect gift that you can’t wait to give on Christmas day!

Here are some great advent calendar ideas that are a great alternative to chocolate ones.

This is a great idea and works brilliantly as a lovely decoration piece for above the mantel piece throughout December! Fill each bag with little treats or positive messages and a different family member can open a bag each day.



This idea is great if you favour neutral colours in the home. Each individual bag can contain a tasty treat to have each day and the tree twigs look great next to the fire place or in a hallway as well.

A favourite of Ellie Ellie’s this advent idea is great as you can put lovely little things in each little basket and even put a little something in for each family member.

 

If you love positive and motivational messages (we are a huge fan of inspirational quotes at Ellie Ellie HQ) then this chalkboard pocket advent calendar is a great idea. You can fill each pocket with a little saying or song lyrics to get you in the Christmas spirit in the morning!

 

Happy Christmas Countdown from Ellie Ellie!
