After yesterday’s post about being prepared for the Net-a-Porter sale with my longstanding wishlist, I decided that wishlists were a subject worth expounding on. I find them extremely integral to snagging great deals online.
{Wishlist Pro-Tips}
- If your favorite websites have wishlists – use them. I regularly update wishlists on Anthropologie, Shopbop, and Net-a-Porter.
- When a sale happens you can go directly to your wishlist to see if what you want is on sale, rather than having to comb through the entire body of markdowns.
- If something that used to be out of stock is back in stock, you’ll be able to find out and get a second chance at scoring that item. This also happens if someone else happens to return the item you want.
- Keep items in your wishlist for a couple of weeks after you buy them. That way if the price goes down within 2 weeks you can usually get a price adjustment.
- Websites like Have to Have and Hukkster help you keep track of specific items you like online (for those websites that don’t offer a built-in wishlist), and they’ll let you know when the price drops.
Do you have any tips for getting the most of out your wishlists? Please share, in the comments!
{Win This Ring}
Slice of Sand ring by Nettie KentI didn’t mention it on the blog, but a few weeks ago I attended a pre-launch event for Bevel Trunk Shows. The concept is pretty cool: Bevel partners with, and provides a platform for, small scale jewelry designers that don’t have the capacity to mass produce. All designs featured are exclusive to Bevel and produced in limited quantity. What we get (we = people who like jewelry) is access to the next big thing before they’re big. In fact, at the pre-launch event I learned that a couple of the Bevel designers had already been picked up by Bergdorf Goodman and Barney’s! In order to celebrate the launch, Bevel is giving away this ring by Nettie Kent.
