So, your besties birthdays coming up - you know jewellery is the best gift you can buy her, especially Bijoux De Mimi’s brilliant price point and gorgeous gift wrap, but you don’t know what to get her? Let us help you. First of all, you need to think about what your friend likes and consider these points: Does she wear gold or silver?  What’s her favourite colour? What colour does she wear the most?  What will look good with her hair? How many piercings does she have?  NO IDEA WHAT TO BUY!  Now, here are what you should buy your bestie once you know what colour she likes. All pieces featured are available to buy in gold and silver.    Our crystal gold huggie hoops are our most recommended jewellery gift, no one doesn't like a simple crystal earrings and we have heaps to choose from so you can't really go wrong - these also match other earrings they may have already  So, what crystal huggie earrings are the best gift? If you're not sure how many piercings they have, we recommend going for the simple Ines Bees, they're cute - worn by heaps of BNOC's and are a small statement. If your bestie has loads of piercings, the Crystal Stacker will always be your best bet - you don't need to worry about her favourites because it holds one of each best seller so she can mix and match. If you're not sure about either of these, you can't go wrong with the Otillie Huggie Earrings.  Blue's are hands down our most popular colour, no other brand does it and they've taken the internet by storm. If your gal loves to wear different colours, and doesn't have a preference then blue is the one for you. It goes with every hair colour and skin complexion.  In terms of a gift, the Lola Blue Droplet Huggies are our best selling blues, they're a statement and everyone loves them - we would 100% say, these are the perfect gift. If you're looking for something more subtle then we'd reccomend the Edie Huggie Earrings. If you're not sure what to get, then don't forget we do also have e-gift cards, the easy eco way to give the gift of choice. 

We are in the nearing the end of hosting our summer pop-up store and what better time to go through the nitty gritty details of the pop-up shop do’s and dont’s. But what is a pop up shop? A pop up shop is a short-term in store experience with a brand, effectively 'popping up' in a popular space. Finding the right space for you: Are you looking to let a pop-up retail space for a weekend, week or even month? Here’s what we reccomend: Short term - a day or a weekend:  We love SOOK SPACES Sook spaces are the newest way to host a pop up, and BRILLIANT for smaller businesses' looking to have short term bricks and water. You can read all about them here, but effectively they're the easiest way to explore having a store. All of their shops are in brilliant central locations and are an easily adaptable space. Instead of blank walls they have screens, which you can just upload files onto to make it your own. They supply the shelves, railing and cash desks - all you need is yourselves, your stock and your payment set up - we reccomend IZettle.  THE PRO’S: IT’S EASY! Sook makes setting up your space the easiest experience ever, simply turn up, set up and open.  THE CON’S: IT’S EXPENSIVE! Don’t get us wrong, the pro’s obviously outweigh the only con - but as pop-up rentals go its pretty pricey. Just make sure you’ve done the maths and will be able to break even.  Loads of super cool brands have featured at Sook, like Kate Elisabeth's, Kikakinis or Montana Browns, Swim Society.  You can check out how we personalised our screens here. Something longer term - a month or so: MAKE YOUR SPACE YOUR OWN! You’re now looking for something a little bit longer than a weekend, what we suggest doing after you’ve hosted a few pop-ups before so are looking for something more branded. REMEMBER this is MUCH more of a commitment, you’ll need to consider all sorts like interiors, staff & bills.  You need to be looking online for a short-term retail let, APPEAR HERE is the best place to find a space like this. OR you can reach out to any commercial letting agencies. You must remember to visit it first and make sure they offer everything you need - don't forget to check they offer what you're after and ask all the important questions, like is there a loo and a storage space? Our St Christopher's place summer pop-up. We're two weeks away from closing our summer store and boy has it been fun. Obviously there's been some ups and downs like the dreaded scaffolding we didn't think would be up, or the fact there may be some quieter days. We have however LOVED having our pretty and pink colour-bomb of a store for the extra sales, new customers and brilliant content backdrop! You can find about it all here. HOW TO FURNISH A POP UP: FOUNDPOP!  OMG. Foundpop - the BEST idea.  When you agree to a shorter term let, furnishing it is the most stressful thing to organise, and FoundPop has solved that. Through them you can organise all the furniture and storage you need for your pop up, but not only that - you can have it covered in a custom vinyl of your choice and design, which will automatically make your space branded.     

Huggie earrings are a style of hoop earrings that are usually small in size and hug the ear, hence the name ‘huggie:. This means that the earring sits super close to your earlobe, but they suit both people with heaps of piercings or just one. Typically smaller but chunkier than your standard pair of hoop earrings, Bijoux De Mimi’s huggie hoops allow you to opt for a statement hoop look that compliments their style & colour choice..  Our huggie earrings feature either a clip hoop fastening that is curved at the back and simply clicks into place, like our best selling Alexander huggie earrings. Alternatively, some of our huggie earrings are a magnetic hoop clasp that just sticks together through the piercing - these will be the designs that DON'T have gemstones round the physical hoop. For example, like our Evie C Droplet Huggie Earrings.

You can read more by clicking here (hyperlink to LWHL). Where did Pink Noise come from? It is actually an organic, simple story, of three women coming together to create something truly special and starts with an introduction from Amy Morton, founder of Living with Hearing Loss, to the founders of Deafmetal and Bijoux De Mimi. Believing that something truly magical can happen when people work together, Amy connected with Bijoux De Mimi, an incredible, vibrant jewellery brand that has created, designed and manufactured the line (by Amelia Hitchcock-MerriX) and Deafmetal, a jewellery brand already specialising in hearing-aid friendly jewellery and its function. Who created and manufactured the hearing aid’s jewellery Holster (which is founded by Jenni Ahtiainen). “I wanted to support an existing brand that has already pioneered this area and support a stunning jewellery range in an exciting market. Both amazing women have achieved so much and in bringing them together they’ve been able to combine the use of the existing Deafmetal Holster, which acts as a safety chain, as well as a base for wearers to accessories with Bijoux De Mimi’s trending colourful jewellery. With the 20% of profits supporting Living With Hearing Loss, together, we are able to spread the message of Pink Noise and Raise fantastic Awareness for the Deaf community.” Amy – Living with hearing loss CIC
