| The Pokéball necklaces! |
With so many people asking me about the Pokéball necklace I bought my boyfriend for Valentine's Day, I thought I'd better write a blog post about it and give you guys the details of how this necklace came about.
I'd left present buying until I had under a week to go until Valentine's Day. I had absolutely nothing in place to surprise my boyfriend with at this point but i'd already picked out this Pokéball necklace from Trinkety Slot on Etsy, weeks before. However, I did that thing I always do, where I hold out until the last minute, just in case I come across anything else that I like better. This didn't happen and as Valentine's Day ended up being less than a week away I figured I'd better get the damn thing ordered.
Although it didn't arrive for Valentine's Day, (it arrived three days late to be precise) that was entirely my fault for not ordering it earlier. The typical time you have to wait for any of the products from Trinkety Slot to be made and shipped is three to five days and with mine being an international order, as the shop is based in the US, I had to wait another week on top of that for the gift to arrive. I guess what we can conclude from this is that I'm absolutely terrible at getting shit done and managing my time...
When the product finally arrived at my house, I was pleasantly surprised - the quality was so much better than I imagined it would be. Considering both necklaces are handmade, they are both extremely well put together, the quality of the engraving and cutting of the plastic, Pokéball itself is smooth and neat with no sharp edges that could dig into the skin or get caught on clothes. Moreover, the chains both charms are on, are sturdy and long enough to put over your head so there's no fiddling about with tiny clasps when you're in a rush. On the back of each charm I had the words, 'I choose you!' engraved onto the back. There are so many little phrases I could have used but this one wasn't only ridiculously adorable, it was also Pokémon related. For £28 I couldn't have asked for a cuter, more appropriate gift. Chris absolutely loves it as well and refuses to take it off unless he's showering or sleeping because he's scared of strangling himself. ;)
Overall, I'd definitely recommend Trinkety Slot to anyone who is looking for unique, gamer necklaces to either buy as friendship or relationship jewellery. If anyone has any questions about things I haven't covered above please feel free to ask me in the comments below and please don't forget to check out the Trinkety Slotstore on Etsy!
