Had an amazing experience with an SA at one of the Paris boutiques but she also knew I recently celebrated a birthday. Anyway I bought a watch and when I went back later that day to pick it up she had a spread of gifts ready, they’re wrapped up in the pic but they’re a few small perfumes, a candle and a coffee table book!

Wow, this is even more than I received. What book did you get?

This is in part why Cartier is Cartier. At Tiffany I had to ask for even a travel bag and they weren't prepared for that. What a shame.

That’s nuts. To be fair I did ask if they had any books as I love those to display. The one I have is wrapped and I haven’t opened it yet but the SA told me she would find a larger one for me and hold it until I come back - we shall see! :girlsigh:

Honestly the kindness of my SA is such a gift in itself especially these days …
I stopped by a couple weeks ago to buy my husband a love ring for an upcoming anniversary. She gave me the items in the photo as little extras (fragrance samples, Father’s Day post card, coffee table book, and what I think should be included with all purchases: pouch and cleaning kit).

Yesterday my husband surprised me by taking me with him to.. you guessed it, Cartier to see our dear SA! He wanted to get me a love bracelet and didn’t realize she already knew my size :-) SA gifted us with a bag on our way out which we'll wait until the 30th to open. My guess is it’s a candle from the size and weight :-)

When I went to the Rue de la Paix boutique last year in Paris, the SA was so nice and gave me two different hardcover Cartier books and a brand new white glove when I bought my love bracelet. He said so my husband can help me put it on without fingerprints. lol!
I got beautiful flowers every Thanksgiving and Mother’s Day for 2 years now. Cartier champagne and perfume last year: This year I got a scarf and my husband got a wallet:. My home store Director is the BEST,,
hi. i know your post is really old but i just purchased my first cartier and reading through these. Wondering if your SA send you gifts via mail or gives you when you make purchases?
 
I have a really wonderful SA, whom both and DH and I chose as our SAs separately without realising!
We are not big spenders, over the past year we purchased: My e-ring, a pair of earrings, two pairs of cufflinks, a watch strap.
I've received: 3 coffee table books, 5 or 6 perfume samples, 2 bottles of champagne, 4 or 5 candles, red packets during chinese new year, plus extra cleaning kits, travel pouches.
That said, we really appreciate her and also gave her a small gift for xmas (Chanel body lotion) and snacks around festive seasons when I go visit her.

wow. i never got any gift with my purchase and i love these extra stuff. Do you mind me asking where are you located?
 
When I bought my diamond JUC last week, my SA included the travel pouch, the cleaning kit, 2 perfumes, and a candle.

I’m curious whether (and how) you use the pillow in the travel pouch? My inclination would be to remove it and just place the bracelet flat in the pouch. Thoughts? 32E42B9F-D176-4172-AC49-6BBAAFB1338B.jpeg

So nice! You are supposed to squish the pillow and load the bracelet onto it. The pillow acts as your “arm”. Enjoy!
 
Hi! I usually get the “extra” gifts with my purchases from the SA. I try to make them in stores so they can give it. But honestly I don’t use any of it. Just nice to have. :)
