Oh I’d use it in my living room - I always keep little snacks out for guests etc in a box at all times. So I’d get dividers that fit in the box and create little compartments of chocolates, almonds, peanuts, tiny crackers etc.
Really good idea! I should do this! Not that I received this box but I host and should do this more often

Yes Ma’am
Love your VCA holiday look and travel magnum looks perfect -
Let’s get this party started.
 
Hello Ladies :smile:

I was wondering about (small) gifts after purchases;

Do you get something after a purchase apart from the (complimentary) chocolates and fragrance samples?

I'm not the best client at VCA (yet), I bought some pieces for my mom, some were more expensive than the others.

At Cartier I usually get all sorts of presents: little plush panthers, candles, ashtrays, trays and even coffee table books. Now I wouldn't call myself a VIP++ client at Cartier but I have a good relationship with my SA (but in VCA it's the same).

Since both brands belong to Richemont, I was wondering why the difference concerning gifts is so big? Or is it just me who doesn't get stuff at VCA? :biggrin:
 
I think the experience varies a lot from country to country and even boutique to boutique. I've spent a fair bit at Cartier but have NEVER received any gifts from them, only been invited to events. Now, VCA has lavished me with many gifts (chocolates, flowers, champagne, perfumes, candles, cakes etc etc), and has invited me to many events including a 5-day extravaganza in Sydney in November this year (which I couldn't attend for personal reasons, but it was really lovely to be invited) and also an event in Paris in June 2020.

Question for all the experts here! While I know most of VCAs stones (e.g. MOP, malachite, etc) can't be worn every day/while showering/various other activities that are harsh on jewelry, is this year's porcelain holiday pendant similarly delicate? Was hoping it was maybe a heartier material, but wanted to check with you all for your thoughts.

On their website it says that porcelain can break easily or scratch. Not sure about getting wet

My boutique SA always sends me something on my bday and Christmas. Ive received candles, tea, and some amazing books. She’s so thoughtful. NM does nothing.
