Gift guide
Gifts under Rs 500 in Pakistan
Everything I make sits between Rs 220 and Rs 450, so this page is the whole shop rather than a clearance corner. That price band is deliberate. Under Rs 200 I would have to use beads I do not want to put my name on; much over Rs 500 and a handmade beaded bracelet stops being the easy yes it should be. Between the two you get something woven by hand, in Karachi, that costs about what a decent lunch does.
Every order arrives on a printed Luxe by Zee card in a small pouch, ready to hand over as it is. Ask in the order note and I will add a handwritten message or address the parcel to the person receiving it rather than to you. Cash on delivery works nationwide, delivery is a flat Rs 200, and it is free once your order passes Rs 2,500 — which two or three of these pieces will do together.
When do I need to order by?
Count back 4 working days from the day you need it in Karachi, and 7 working days for anywhere else in Pakistan. That covers the 1 to 2 working days I take to make and pack a piece plus the courier window — 1 to 2 days inside Karachi, 3 to 5 days nationwide. A custom name piece needs 3 to 5 days on top. If your date is tighter than that, message me at @luxebyzee__ before you order and I will tell you honestly whether it can be done.
6 handmade pieces under Rs 500
Which one should I pick for whom?
Sorted by price above, but that is rarely how you choose a gift. Here is what each piece is actually good for.
- Daisy Charm Chain BraceletRs 220
- The safe one. A single woven daisy on a fine chain, adjustable from 16 to 20 cm, so it fits without you knowing her wrist size. Good for a colleague, a cousin, or anyone whose taste you are not sure of.
- Beaded BookmarkRs 280
- For the reader who already owns enough jewellery. It is the one piece here that is not worn, which makes it the easy answer for a teacher, a book club or someone older.
- Butterfly Daisy BraceletRs 320
- The one to buy two of. Pastel beads on stretch cord in S or M, meant to be stacked — a pair of them in different charms makes a proper gift for under Rs 700.
- Lilac Daisy Pearl BraceletRs 380
- The dressed-up option. Woven daisies with pearl centres and a chain extender that adjusts from 16 to 19 cm. This is the one people wear to a wedding.
- Pearl Butterfly BraceletRs 420
- For someone who wears mostly gold. Rose-gold chain, hand-strung pearls, one enamel butterfly. Quiet enough for daily wear, adjustable from 17 to 20 cm.
- Lavender Bloom Bracelet SetRs 450
- Two bracelets in one box, which is why it reads as a bigger gift than its price. Split them between two people or give both to one.
Not sure of her wrist? Read the sizing guide — or order M at 17 cm, which fits most adult women, and swap it free within 7 days.
Gifting questions
Do you gift wrap?
Every order arrives on a printed Luxe by Zee card inside a small pouch, ready to hand over as it is. If you want a handwritten note, or the parcel addressed to the person receiving it rather than to you, write that in the order note at checkout.
Which size should I pick if I am gifting?
Choose medium, 17 cm. It fits most adult women and it is the size I make most often. If you can borrow a bracelet she already wears, measure it flat and send me the number on Instagram. A sizing swap within 7 days of delivery costs nothing.
Is cash on delivery available?
Yes, cash on delivery works across Pakistan at no extra charge. You pay the courier in cash when the parcel arrives. Couriers rarely carry change, so please keep the exact amount ready, including the Rs 200 delivery charge if your order is under Rs 2,500.
How much does delivery cost?
A flat Rs 200 anywhere in Pakistan, whether you are in Karachi or Gilgit and whether you buy one bracelet or six. Spend Rs 2,500 or more and I cover it, so delivery is free on larger orders and on most gift sets of three pieces.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Order a single Rs 220 bracelet and I make and post it like any other order. The only number worth knowing is Rs 2,500, which is where delivery stops costing Rs 200, so three small pieces together often work out cheaper than buying them one at a time.
How long does delivery take to Lahore or Islamabad?
Plan on 3 to 5 working days from the moment you order. Lahore and Islamabad both sit on the main courier routes, so a parcel usually spends 2 to 3 days in transit after the 1 to 2 working days I need to make it and hand it over.
