Gift Idea for a Brand Whore

lilahbean13 · October 2013

Ok so my SILs are total designer snobs. EVERYTHING down to their SHEETS and even socks MUST be designer brand. They drive matching black Mercedes...nothing wrong with Mercedes, just trying to give you an idea of what I am working with here.

We drew their name for gifts and we must spend 75 on each. 75 is a sh!t ton to me but whatever. 75$ in the designer world also doesn't go very far. I need brand names and HELP! I know they like Tory Burch and Marc and Graham but what other designers are there other than the obvious (Coach and MK...)

I am clueless on what to buy them. Last year one of them drew me and she spent all 75 on a freaking iPad cover for me. WHY WOULD I WANT A 75$ iPad cover??? lol I would have preferred the cash. Ok enough about me.. Please give me some designer names or ideas!?

Do you have outlets nearby? You could probably get a wallet or a simple tote for that price at a designer outlet store. Or other accessories (scarves, necklaces, earrings, etc). What about Kate Spade? Cole Haan? J Crew has pretty necklaces.

Tory Burch's ex husband started a brand called C Wonder. They have a lot of bags/jewelry/home goods that would fit that price range.

Can you just buy a gift card to their favoritte designer store?

Another idea is to shop in the outlet mall if you have them in your area. You can find a good deals for YSL, CK, Tommy H, Kenneth Cole ... practically any designer.

It's good that you have a price limit. My SIL is a designer junkie and she said she would like something from Tiffany for her birthday. I checked and the cheapest silver thingy from there is like $200. No way!

Yall are the best. I have a lost on my desk of the mentioned brands and I am going to start searching their websites as soon as I attempt to do a little work. Keep them coming!!!

I just don't get the brand whores out there. WHO FRICKIN CARES? And also $75 is a LOT for a SIL, if you ask me. I usually spend about $50 on my own sisters, and even less on my SIL's since MH is not close with them.

Unfortunately, I have no advice as I am pretty much the opposite of a brand whore. I think paying extra $ just for a brand is beyond stupid unless you genuinely love the thing you are buying, not just the name on the tag.

I would go to a Nordstrom rack or loehmanns if you have one. They carry everything name brand and you can find stuff cheaper to stretch your $

Chloe, Burberry, juicy couture, Michael kore, coach, fendi, Gucci, jimmy choo, Versace, Dooney and Burke, etc. Nordstrom rack would be good or little accessories from the stores themselves.

The sad part is, she would probably love those ear buds the most lol

Thank yall for these suggestions. I have found so many ideas.

I showed my husband the earrbuds and I said "these are Kate Spade" he said "Who in the hell is kate spade, isnt that that woman that had 8 babies or something"

MEN.
