More important than the Queen’s birthday,

Nearly as special as Mother’s Day,

In recognition of those who can leap tall buildings in a single bound,

The super dads of the nation chorus together,

“Go on – spoil us rotten”

Just to confirm that we simply must finish our promotion on the stunning range of designer clocks from Karlsson and NeXtime this Sunday (22nd August).

So the last few days to get 10% discount.

Of course we will be keeping the best range and selection of designer clocks in NZ, and we will always offer the best prices. And our VIP customers will continue to enjoy our bonus rewards. So nothing will change really except that the 10% discount is coming to an end.

Remember if you need a new clock or the perfect engagement or wedding present, then you simply need to visit Gusto & Grace in ‘Two Double Seven’ Broadway, Newmarket (09 524-5766) or Creative, upstairs cinema end of Westfield Queensgate, Lower Hutt (04 586-1702).

Black Onyx is the new collection from NZ Mint’s ME label. We’ve just had an invite to the launch on August 25th. At this stage we are waiting for more info and hopefully some pictures we can post.

What this space…

…it’s bound to be gorgeous

Just an update on the superb career vacancy we have at Gusto & Grace for a branch manager. We posted here and have been advertising on SEEK here for a talented store manager to take over the reigns from Emma who is moving on at the end of this month.

I have decided to extend the scope of this search and to look at the possibility of offering the opportunity to a more junior manager, with a view to training and developing skills over the next year or so.

So if you are a passionate retailer, lover of jewellery, design, fashion, etc., AND had experience at an assistant management level in retail (preferably in the jewellery, fashion or gift sectors), then please contact me urgently to discuss.

Remember we are a fab small company with an excellent culture and provide an excellent environment and benefits for our team.

WE NEED YOU – Please consider joining our team

Our best selling wall clock design of the last 12-18 months is back in stock at last.

Mr White Numbers is a gorgeous clock with a slightly off-white face and a chrome rim.  It is available in two sizes – 51cm diameter and 37cm diameter.

AND you can own one today and take advantage of our 10% Off Clock promotion.

Karlsson Mr White Numbers D:51cm. $356.90 less 10% = $321.20

Karlsson Mr White Station Large 51cm. Normally $356.90, pay 10% less $321.20

Karlsson Mr White Numbers D:37cm. $163.90 less 10% = $147.51

I think we must now be close to the No. 1 Karlsson dealer in NZ. We have a fantastic collection of lovely designer wall and alarm clocks and the 10% off promotion rolls into its 10th week. It’s going so well that we can’t stop it.

So maybe for another week or two we’ll keep it going.

Plus we have secured a select few designs and can offer these at a sweet 20% off RRP. Stocks are limited on some designs, so first in first served. Give us a call though to reserve your choice. Gusto & Grace ’277′ 09 524-5766 or Creative ‘Queensgate’ 04 586-1702

Sadly our lovely Emma is moving on to the wholesale side of the industry to work with one of our key suppliers. Emma’s shoes will be hard to fill as she has been instrumental in the growth and success of Gusto & Grace over the past two years.

We are excited for her as she progresses her career and we wish her all the very best in her new role.

Could our loss be your opportunity?

Emma’s departure leaves a vacancy based at Gusto & Grace in Newmarket for an experienced retail manager. Preferably with a few years experience at assistant manager level or higher in the jewellery, fashion or giftware retail sectors. If you are a retail manager and have a love of jewellery and fashion along with an eye for design and beautiful things, then this role could be perfect for you.

Gusto & Grace is two years old and Creative in Wellington is approaching its 5th birthday. The role will include some responsibility for the stock and team management of both stores. The successful applicant will also be passionate about service excellence and will work hard to ensure that our customers enjoy the best possible experience in-store.

Check out the jobs page here and contact me today. I look forward to hearing from you. Cheers, Neil

We gave everyone a heads-up that some pieces in the Boh Runga collections were going up in price on the 1st of June. You can refresh on our posts here and here.

Well, sadly, our bulk stock purchased at the end of May is pretty much depleted so our prices have to go up from the arrival of our latest shipment from the NZ Mint this week.

But if you are especially keen AND mention this blog post, we’ll check and see if we can do you a special price, but only this week.

And remember, Gusto & Grace ‘Two Double Seven’ and Creative Queensgate are still;

We are pretty excited at Gusto & Grace because the awesome Evolve NZ are releasing brand new designs this month including new Murano glass beads, a selection of beautiful new sterling silver charms, AND a select few designs in GOLD!
