Updated for the new year, this compendium boasts inner pockets for notes and receipts as well as cardholder slots, a pen loop, and a sturdy magnetic buckle closure to keep everything contained.
Erin K Jewellery
And what if you’re buying for a magpie mate rather than a mum friend? If you’ve got a gal in your life who’s sparkle-obsessed but wants to make sure her jewellery collection stays cruelty- and conflict-free, then you’re going to want to grab her some pieces from the Erin K Jewellery collection we have here at Stride Store.
