Compact Mirror Review

If you are looking for wedding favors, then a compact mirror gift may be just the right choice of gift for your wedding. Compact mirrors come in different shapes and styles and there are a good many wedding favor companies that sell them for as little as dollar a piece. Out of the ones in the dollar selection, some are round, some are heart shaped or purse shaped, and some have butterflies etched on the outside. Most of these are silver colored mirrors but you can get ones in other colors as well in the same price range.

Giving a compact mirror gift to your wife or girlfriend is also a good option. Naturally, you would not give the one-dollar variety; there are some that are a lot more elegant in style; the prices vary a bit but any woman would find a small mirror compacts to be not only an elegant gift, but also a useful one. These small mirrors fit into any purse or handbag and are just perfect for makeup touch ups on the go. There are mirrors that are ‘general’ in style, in that they can be given for pretty much any occasion, and there are customized ones that are made for anniversaries, graduations, friendship, Valentine’s day and births.

If you are looking for something elegant and classy, then a vintage compact mirror may be a good choice of gift. These are made from a variety of materials. There is presently one for sale on eBay for only $10 that is made from faux mother of pearl. This is not only a very beautiful choice of material, but also an affordable one.

There are also gold mirrors as well, if you are looking for something a bit more elegant but take not that they often cost a bit more. The prices vary wildly depending on what brand name and style you choose. Welforth’s gold round one with butterfly flowers and rhinestones is $25; you can also opt for a 24k gold plated mirror with either bright pink crystals or black and brown ones in leopard print pattern for $59 per mirror. Either of the $59 mirrors can be engraved on, although there are more affordable mirrors that can be engraved on as well. While having a customized engraving done on the mirror you are gifting does cost a bit extra, it personalizes the mirror a lot more, making it that much more special to the recipient.

A silver compact mirror can also be a classy choice; silver mirrors also vary in price but silver items tend to cost less than gold ones. For $30, you can buy a silver plated heart shaped mirror that can be personalized for an extra fee. For $20, you can get a square shaped one with accenting crystals; this particular one also comes with a black velvet pouch free and you can have it engraved if you wish. One stunning option is the Silver-Tone Brass Swarovski Crystal Compact Mirror, but it is also a bit pricey at $45.

There are also crystal mirrors of this nature; some have only a few crystals while others are completely covered in them. Some are elegant, some are retro, and some are more chic in style. It pays to have an idea of what the recipient of the gift would like before purchasing a mirror, as the styles vary a lot and what one-person likes, another one does not. If you are unsure, then you can always err on the side of being more cautious and get a plain silver or gold mirror that is elegant and yet not too ostentatious in style.
