Bling on a Budget - Ideal Girly Present

Shop but don't drop... Rather than spending the earth, I've been a bit inventive, so here's what I did:
Woolworths are selling the Sagem MYC2-3 Pink Flip Mobile on T-Mb for £34.99: Dixons Mobile Accessories are selling the Kondor Bling Pink and Silver Sticker Kit (126) for £3.99 (free P&P):

Small amount of DIY later, and you have a brand new blinged out mobile on T-Mb for less than £40! Don't be put off by staff saying that they've only got the blue model of the phone, get them to check the side of the box as to the colour content inside as I got caught out by this a couple of days ago. Not sure how long Mb will be at this price but its still a bargain at £40, plus the £4 for your bling kit, still only totalling £44!
The Swarovski version of the bling kit is here at £7.50 (300) & £1.99 P&P:

Vodaphone version is here at £50 plus £2.95 P&P:

...and here are some very interesting alternatives with even more interesting price tags, essentially doing the same DIY job that I'm suggesting for up to FOUR TIMES the cost:

Note: The Newgen C800 shown in the above link is onsale at Tesco for only £79.97 (free P&P), earning 79 Points, and you can now use any Clubcard Vouchers you may have online to crash the price of the mobile down further. I note the model in the link was £149.98 inc P&P!

Link to phone on Woolworths' site http://www.woolworths.co.uk/ww_p2/product/index.jhtml?pid=50535902
If that doesn't work, there's currently a link to it on the front page. Hope that helps© Cuilean 2005. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.0
