Sydney Cartier

I've only bought one thing- a love bracelet with 6 diamonds. Got served champagne, SA gave me a box of macarons to take home, got cleaning kit, travel pouch..
For Christmas I received a cute Christmas card from her.

Recently I emailed her saying I was interested in the love ring and asked if there are any gifts. She emailed back saying she can only gift a travel pouch.

I think bvlgari offers wayy more gifts btw

If you stay with an SA you really like and build a relationship, they may eventually give you some free gifts. If you have to ask for gifts, then maybe you don't have that relationship with your SA, and it seems like it would be very awkward to ask for free gifts.

I agree. Although the only “free gifts” I really want when buying a piece is the cleaning kit and travel pouch :lol:

I hate having to ask for them but that’s the price you pay when you order online.

They do run out of these items once a while. These days I am not really surprised - e.g. Cartier Stanford / Palo Alto is fully booked for over 2 weeks :nuts: Johann Rupert also said this week that business is strong - especially here in the US.

Ooooh, just saw that's my 1000th post :nuts: Should I better be more quiet?

No! Love to hear what you have to say! The more information the better. :smile:

I was told by two different boutiques as well as when I called that they are out of cleaning kits for the foreseeable future. :confused1: I don't think the cleaning kit should be considered a gift and I have no problem asking for one. They don't sell them so you can't even purchase one. I hope they come back soon!

Yes this happened to me as well, I thought my SA forgot to give me a cleaning kit, but I asked her about it and she said they were out. She has requested one from another boutique and will be getting it on Tuesday. Perhaps you can ask yours to do the same?

She said all boutiques were out as well. I'm surprised that the boutique that had one was willing to send it to another boutique. Lucky you! (I wonder if some have a secret stash).

I feel special that I, a nobody newbie, helped facilitate your 1,000th post!!! Ok perhaps I'm taking too much credit. :P

Where I live the boutique isn‘t allowed to offer anything to drink due to Covid. So hubby and I got two small bottles of champagne, sweets and vouchers for a fancy new bar nearby. Didn‘t ask for a cleaning set as I still have one. Always a pleasure to visit my sales person at Cartier.
