so my mom surprised me at the store by buying me the heart toggle bracelet for my 16th birthday. she got it engraved and fit to my wrist too because it was a little too long and the sales rep. said that it would take about 2 weeks because they have to send it off or something. so it's been exactly two weeks today, because she bought it on aug 22nd. it's been paid for and everything. so i called in today and the people weren't helpful at all, they just told me to leave a message in the sales rep. voice inbox so i did, but being the idiot i am, i forgot to leave my number. my friend said that her's only took about 4 days to be engraved. should i go to the store? i don't know what to do?
woah that happened to me but i bought a ring for my mom for her birthday and i wanted it engraved on the back and they told me the exact same thing.And to wait,yet again,2 weeks but after that I called the store and yelled at them because it was such bad service and I just got really annoyed.
And after like a month I forgot about It(even though i payed for it)and just got her a giftcard from tiffany's.
But you should keep on calling them and calling them because you probably payed alot of money for this bracelet and it is not even at your doorstep.
And if they just say leave and message
go up there and complain.
Imagine giving a gift that your runner will use every time they head out the door to go running. If you're not a runner, you are probably flabbergasted at the thought of having to come up with the inspired gift idea that your runner will treasure for many runs to come. Well, you can now set your confusion and "flabbergastion" aside. Yes, it's true; you can give a cherished gift that will make your runner curious as to the source of your insight, and they'll wonder how in the world they ever lived without it! I say keep them guessing. You don't have to tell all your secrets.
Being a runner myself for the past 15 years, I can attest to how much a runner can truly appreciate a thoughtful running gift, and you don't have to sacrifice your self-respect by giving them the ubiquitous box of cordial cherries or even toe socks.
Here are 5 top gift ideas to delight any runner you know.
Road ID - Most runners don't carry any sort of ID with them as they head out for their run. Not because they don't want to, but primarily because it's inconvenient. You may not have thought about it, but it's very difficult to carry a wallet or personal ID in the flimsy little bits of wick-away fabric known as running shorts. If it crossed my mind, I might occasionally remember to take a piece of paper with some general contact information on it. After a couple of runs, it would become worn and difficult to read, and I would toss it, and then forget to make a new one. When I received the Road ID as a gift, I was thrilled to have something so small and light weight, with all my important contact information right on it.
The Road ID is personal identification gear with your info laser engraved on a tag that's easy to take with you, easy to read, and it comes in many different styles and colors. I was given both the wrist band and shoe ID style. The wrist band Velcro's around my wrist like a sports watch, bracelet-style. The Shoe Id attaches via Velcro to my shoe laces, and it just stays there, until I change out running shoes every few hundred miles. By having both kinds, if I forget to put my wrist band on, I always have the Road ID on my running shoes. They also have an ankle style and shoe pouch style. You can even choose a cool picture or logo to put on the dog tag style (Fixx ID) that will capture your runner's unique personality. While I hope no one will ever have to use my Road ID for its intended purpose, it's just a good layer of protection for me and peace of mind for my loved ones.
Flashers/Blinkers/Safety Lights - I'm a big believer in being as safe as possible. And the primary way for a runner or bicyclist to be safe is to be seen. Again, this was something I had never even considered using until I was given a safety flasher as a gift.
What better way to provide your runner with a bubble of protection than a blinking light that can been seen from half-mile to a mile away? Flashers and blinkers now come in all sorts of sizes and shapes; they are lightweight and the batteries last a very long time. They even have flashers that clip right to your running hat! I often wear two or more, one on the brim of my hat, and at least one on my waistband.
Running Pocket - Now, I know this wouldn't occur to the average non-runner, but to an avid runner, this is a coveted treasure. I searched high and low, long and hard for just the right pocket to run with. I knew exactly what I wanted; I just couldn't find it.
Most of the pockets that I found were not designed for running. They were bulky and bounced around a lot. It wasn't until I was in Illinois visiting family that I found the perfect one. We went to the local running store, and that's where it was: the perfect running pocket. This handy piece of equipment is great, because it doesn't bounce around at all, and it's flat so it hangs comfortably on running shorts. The built in pocket in running shorts is oftentimes too small or there isn't one at all. There a certain things I like to carry with me when I'm out running, such as mints, Chap Stick, my house key, and an extra battery for my mp3 player; not to mention some cash or a Starbucks gift card for my fix on the way home! The pocket is great for races, too. I can carry gels or energy beans.
Pedometer -I don't know any runner who wouldn't love this gift. I love to chart my running mileage, and if I take a different route, I always want to know how far I have run. Most pedometers have several different functions on them, from time and date to counting mileage and calories to counting total steps versus aerobic steps to memory functions. It's nice to have one that talks, that way I can just push a button and keep my eyes on the road.
Subscription to a Running Magazine - My favorite is Runner's World, but there are other choices available as well. Just imagine, every month when they get their new copy of Runner's World they will think of you! And it's something that will keep your enthusiastic runner motivated year round!
With these gift ideas, it's never been easier to give the runner you love a gift that they will use for years and you'll bask in the glow of their bewildered amazement at your genuine thoughtfulness and insight. And believe me, they'll prefer any of these to the fruitcake or bath beads you were planning on getting them.
