Where I think you should buy your Christmas presents: Part 2


About a year ago I noticed a link on my friend, Danielle's blog. "Darlybird." Intrigued by that darly name, I clicked. And I fell in love. Darlybird.com is an eclectic little online boutique that is full of stuff that is as charming as it's name. Vintage flower earrings. Marie Antoinette-inspired slippers. Cake stands. Feminine, whimsical aprons. Rachel, the creator/owner of Darlybird has impeccable taste. Basically, it's all fabulous. Here are some other things I looooove about ordering from her.1. It is so perfect for sending gifts. Think of it--you shop online, Darlybird ships it. You just did your Christmas shopping in your skivvies and didn't even have to dash to the post office. Brilliant. AND you can even submit a little gift message and Rachel will hand-write it on a darling handmade card.


2. I love Darlybird prices. They vary so nicely that there are beautiful things available for every budget.

3. Rachel's customer service is phenomenal. Not even Nordstrom compares. She cares about the quality of the goods you are receiving, and the promptness with which you receive it. Nearly every time I have ordered from Darly, I have received a personal email making sure I was pleased with the timing of the delivery, wondering if I meant to include a gift message, hoping my friend liked the earrings, etc.
So basically what I am saying is this. I believe in patronizing people who are running a good business. You should too. I love Darlybird. So will you. Again,
HERE is the link. (Good luck not buying nine billion things you want!)

I concur. Love that place. Once Rachael accidentally sent me a black cuckoo clock instead of the pink one, and she refunded all my shipping both ways and sent me a free purple hair clip for the trouble. Oh also, if you order right now and use the code LASTCHANCE at checkout you get 20% off. I am not sure how long its good for though.
