What to buy for…. THE GIRL WHO HAS EVERYTHING?

It’s a question I hear every week at London Zu, what DO you buy for the girl who has everything? Good question. Most of us have had this predicament when trying to buy that last minute present for our most particular of friends, BUT luckily I have some answers for you… We pride ourselves on keeping our stock up-to-date, evolving and different from what you find on the high-street. We also love to help you find the perfect present so if you’re stuck for ideas we’re happy to make some suggestions, just ask!

DID YOU KNOW?…

That a lot of our jewellery collection is handmade? That we stock a number of fair trade products? That we prefer to work with small suppliers and all our toiletry ranges are made in the UK? That we now sell online and deliver UK-wide?… So, don’t fret, we guarantee there’s always something she won’t have from our selection of gifts and jewellery, and it won’t break the bank either. Tick tick!

 If she already has lots of jewellery, why not give her a means to organise it beautifully? Here are a few suggestions:

STACKERS Beautifully coloured tray organisers in a leather style finish with pretty and chic fabric lining. Designed in the UK to be the most flexible of jewellery boxes, Stackers are bought as separate trays so they can be added to as your collection grows and literally stacked up to infinity! You need buy only the sections which suit you most, whether deep sections for bangles and beads or small sections for storing earrings. The closable lid section can also come in useful on holiday as a portable jewellery box!

WIRE HEART WALL PHOTO HOLDER/  EARRING DISPLAY

An unexpected life-safer of an organiser in a vintage cream finish. Do you have so many pairs of earrings they get stored in a box and you end up wearing the same pair day in day out? Thought so! Hang a pair off each little hoop, of which there are 97, and you’ll soon be enjoying browsing your full collection as you decide on your outfit for the day! The hearts in the middle can be used to display your favourite photos or cards, and are also are a handy place to hang necklaces! What’s more, they’re only £14.99

JEWELLERY WRAPS An absolute investment – every girl needs one of these on holiday, in her handbag and even in her gym kit! Jewellery wraps are stylish way to transport jewellery safely when off on holiday, a weekend business trip or even so as not to lose it in the bottom of your handbag whilst you’re in the gym. One of our newest designs, the rainbow sequinned union jack wrap is being snapped up! We have them in all different sizes and designs, starting from £9.99.

Other London Zu favourite organisers:

VIP BAG ORGANISERS For the girl who has hundreds of handbags – once you’ve had one of these you won’t know how you lived without one! Pretty and practical, these pouches have pockets galore for all your daily essentials.  You can just pop it from bag to bag without accidentally leaving your keys, cash or mascara in yesterday’s bag! They come in 2 sizes and in an array of lovely colours, and for a limited time only, in shimmering silver.

LUGG PORTABLE BRUSH CANOE A clever little organiser from our newly arrived LUGG range: stores your make-up and brushes in organised sections. Also, it can stand upright so you can access your products and brushes easily whilst you apply it… No more rummaging. Hooray!

BAGABOOK A really clever solution to carrying your ebook, Kindle or paper book in a nifty designer bag with an extra compartment for you travel card, mobile phone, keys and money (just the essentials). Bagabook even has a bookmark for those of you that haven’t switched to an ebook.

HAND, BODY AND FACE PAMPERING Well of course every girl loves a luxury hand and body lotion, or a yummy perfume so why not consider some of the following must haves on the London Zu favourites list…

STEAMCREAM An all-in-one lotion so gentle and clean it can be used on your face, body or hands.

PACIFICA ROLL-ON PERFUME OIL A roll on perfume which comes in a variety of scrumptious fragrances such as Persian Rose and French Lilac, they are beautifully packaged and come in a handy travel size. Every handbag should have one.

DI PALOMO’S Wild Fig & Grape is a constant favourite with London Zu customers, so you can’t go wrong choosing from this range and our mini travel size ABAHNA products in White grape & May Chang and Frangipani & Orange Blossom are just gorgeous.  A free gift bag when you buy two or more mini Abahna just seals the deal.
