"A LITTLE HELP PLEASE...?" Gift ideas for Christmas 2014

It's always difficult to know what to buy for EVERYONE at Christmas. So we compiled a little list of hints and suggestions that might give you some more options; for the female side of your friends and family, at least!

1: CHILDREN/YOUNGER TEENS 
Something cute for younger children. We don't tend to stock jewellery for children of a very young age, for obvious reasons, however we do know that they LOVE our super-cute kawaii Sweets Candy necklaces and key rings - check them out here

OLDER TEENS  

Sisters, friends, nieces, daughters and granddaughters tend to be quite easy and fun to buy gifts for; they'll generally have their own style and tell you exactly what they want or like! Jewellery is always going to be an easy and appreciated option, so here's a few suggestions!

- Our Ch'i Bands are very popular with this age range, and you can even choose which one suits their personality! A lovely, affordable and slightly more personalised gift.

- The big, bold High Voltage Necklace has to have a mention here. Extremely popular with older teens and a guaranteed hit! 

- For a sure-fire hit for a teen festival goer, we would highly recommend our classic Sienna Charms. Chunky, earthy, very comfortable to wear and not likely to fall off in the mud!

- If you know someone who's a little alternative, literary or gothic in style, we would definitely recommend taking a look at our romantic, stylish Love Me Gothic Necklace. A very individual design that's perfect for a creative soul.

UNIVERSAL FRIENDS & FAMILY 

Suggestions for the rest of your friends and family; let's start with a couple of our favourite necklaces that might be perfect for most friends, mums, cousins and aunts aunts with a classical taste...

- Our sleek Daisy Chain Necklace is one that you can't go wrong with. Simple, elegant and goes with any outfit.

- These pretty Kitsch Me Orbs add a touch of class to workwear and are a great addition for an evening out.

STATEMENT FRIENDS 

A couple of extra suggestions for those statement personalities in your life! 

- Buying for a stylish Steampunk or Victoriana enthusiast? We highly recommend one of our beautiful Reverie Choker's, perfect for a civilised afternoon's tea duelling!

Or to compliment a splendid Steampunk corset, a pretty Reverie Cameo Brooch!

- And last, but not least! For those of you looking for something quirky, bold and cheeky, for a someone who's a little rock 'n' roll, how about our brand new first edition Bad Candy Hot Pants! Whether they're a dancer, clubber or just like a bit of attitude with their clothing, these Bad Candy signature booty shorts are available in three colours and will go down a storm!

We hope that's given you a few extra ideas; of course, we have plenty more for you to browse and discover on our shop homepage at www.badcandy.co.uk and don't forget you can also visit/like us on our Facebook page to not miss out on updates, deals and offers! <3

THE BIGGER THE BETTER

THE BIGGER THE BETTER

New BIG METAL range now in store!

From the moment we set eyes on these beautifully designed pieces, we knew they had BAD CANDY written all over them!

VICE CITY CUFF http://www.badcandy.co.uk/product/new-vice-city-cuff

DOUBLE TROUBLE NECKLACE http://www.badcandy.co.uk/product/new-double-trouble

We undoubtedly have a lot of hearts in our necklace collections but this is hardly a surprising thing since they are a beautiful icon that just begs to be made a focal point and sits so well on the chest. However, because of this we are always cautious about new styles that we include. When it came to our new HIGH VOLTAGE necklaces (http://www.badcandy.co.uk/product/new-high-voltage) we felt that they not only stood out visually, but also stood apart in terms of design.

Now, the HIGH VOLTAGE pendant is BIG. So we wanted a complementary piece to polarise it's size, and we found that in the sublime flow of the Hush-Hush necklace (http://www.badcandy.co.uk/product/new-hush-hush)... 

Of course, no collection is complete without bracelets, bangles or cuffs (see top pic) so we chose to trial some great magnet close pieces (http://www.badcandy.co.uk/product/new-magnetise-bracelets) that proved to be easy, comfortable, sleek and stylish to wear. We hope you enjoy the range as much as we adore it! ♡

Affordable jewellery just got cheaper! For you, love Bad Candy UK

We set ourselves a mission this week to make our affordable jewellery even more so. It was a tough job as we keep everything low as it is.
So why do we do run an affordability and statement jewellery focused store? The simple reason is that we always wanted to be 'the' store that we would want to buy from. To achieve this we do several things...

- We only offer unique and/or statement jewellery that we and our friends want to wear and want to buy.
- We don't offer high priced jewellery. As jewellery becomes more disposable and trends change so fast, it has always been important to us to stock pieces that will always be in fashion and you are likely to wear multiple times, but that doesn't cost a small fortune.
- We focus on necklaces, bracelets and bangles. Anything outside of this is guided by YOUR needs, we poll our volunteer customers and friends and ask them. We love body-mod jewellery, rings and earrings etc. but we will only stock it if you desire it, so whichever directions we expand in is decided by you and for you. (Check our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/badcandyco for polls and feedback)
- We keep an eye on every fashion arena from catwalk and high street to various alternative scenes and kawaii lovers.
- We won't restock what you don't like or find too expensive and instead find another new trend or style.
- We view literally thousands of pieces of jewellery from across the world and only work with lines that have that something special that the high street misses.
- We aren't greedy on margins, we like the store to flow rather than stagnate. Plus we understand what we feel would be a good buy if we saw it in a shop for a particular price.

Our biggest extravagance by far is with regards the fact that we gift box everything for you, and deliver via very secure methods. At this point we felt that we didn't want to cut back here to bring overall costs down as we like good customer service and loving attention as much as you do. Free P&P rocks and we love being sent a present!

We did however find a way to cool down the prices of our metal statement necklaces, we felt this was important as they are the most valuable pieces in our range. So enjoy these beautiful summer days and treat yourself! Things just got better for your budget and summer wardrobe courtesy of badcandy.co.uk!  ♡
