A big "thanks!" to PrettyBoy, who shared the following delightful surprise (& an image for us to view!)J.Crew has delivered a present a bit early this year to some very lucky J.Crew Aficionados. In the mailbox, they found a gift of a handkerchief with the following note:
Just For YouWhat an absolutely fantastic surprise for customers. I adore the pattern on the handkerchief too! J.Crew has been known to shower certain customers with gifts in the past (from day planners, to earrings, to tie clips, to necklaces, to scarves, and the like). It is a wonderful gift and more importantly, a lovely gesture for those who receive it.
We couldn't resist asking Mister Freedom—L.A.'s curator of cool— to custom design this handkerchief (it's a personal favorite of our men's designers) exclusively for you, one of our favorite customers. It's our way of saying thanks. Don't forget—we're always here for anything you may need.
All the best,
Mickey
So check your mailbox in the next few days to see if you got something extra special from J.Crew. And if you do receive this, please share! :)
That's such a beautiful design -- exactly my boyfriend's style.
ReplyDeleteI don't mean to be pushy, but if anyone receives one and can manage to part with it, I'm very interested in buying it off you!
Thank you!

I like that!
ReplyDeleteYesterday in the mail I received the reusable tote bag. Also with a lovely note from Mickey. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteI also received a reusable canvas tote yesterday... I love love love the Mickey gifts!!!
ReplyDeleteI am also interested in buying one off of someone- I collect handkerchiefs and this would be such a neat addition. First dibs would of course go to the first poster who offered to purchase one but if anybody else doesn't want theirs, please write me at

J.Crew and Micket are being thoughtful again. I wonder if those of us who don't get a gift will receive free-shipping on our accounts or other things like that.
ReplyDeleteNothing for me yet, but I remain hopeful.

ReplyDeleteto those of you who receive gifts - are you j.crew card holders? b/c i spend a LOT of money at j.crew, and i never receive gifts, but i do not have the credit card.
ReplyDeleteFor the planner, I think I got the "boy" version - it was brown and not pink. I do but stuff for DH on my card sometimes so that may be the reason. If I get a gift this time (haven't been spending that much lately) I would prefer the "boy" version this time (I already have a couple of the totes).
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Congrats to those lucky ducks who got one.
ReplyDeleteI do use my j crew credit card for most of my purchases. I have received most of the gifts, I think. Funny though, my gift came addressed to my husband, main name on card, I guess, but it was the 'female' gift!
ReplyDeleteI have received all the gifts from Mickey. I am not a J.Crew cardholder but I do spend a fair bit there each month and I buy a good portion of the items at full price.
ReplyDeleteI live in Canada and was really surprised when I got the first gift because it arrived quite a while after the other JCAs posted about it here. I had already given up hope by the time it showed up. Now that I read about these latest gifts I hope I will be receiving mine in a couple of weeks.
I got the tote bag yesterday.It IS SO CUTE with two girls snuggling in a sweater in a beach chair with 2 cats doing the same with tails intertwinned. It had been a rough day so very happy with my free tote. I had not bought one and did not plan too but free is great!
ReplyDeleteIs the scarf for men or women or both?
hey guys...to answer a question yes i am a card holder, and havent received gifts in the past. it was a pleasant surprise that i got one. J Crew is so random with these things. From time to time i email cust svc to give kudos to a store director or associate. But i cant think of any other reason why I may have gotten one besides spending like a mad man there. Anyhow thats all...
ReplyDeleteI love the handkerchief: nice gift! The tote sounds lovely too.
ReplyDeleteRe: who gets the gifts. I only just recently (January) became a cardholder, but I have been receiving the gifts/perks for the last year. That also coincided with increased spending, and like xoxo, I have often bought full-price (though I do my share of FS as well.)
I've been returning LOTS these last few months, however, so I am a bit afraid they won't send me the gift, which will be very sad!
Oh, I was just reading this post thinking I don't care if I get a gift...then my dh walks in with the mail and a tube for me from JCrew. Secretly hoping for the men's scarf, I opended the tube and it contained the re-usable shopping bag with three ladies and two dogs on it. (I'm a cat lover.)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a cardholder, I've rec'd the other gifts sent (earrings & planner) and JCrew.com is my primary shopping spot.
Wow, this will be super-useful for toting all my .com returns to the b&m. lol
I just got home from a wonderful holiday in Hawaii. Got the tube with the two girls wrapped in sweaters with two kitties wrappoed in sweaters by the beach. LOVE the design. So happy with my free tote.
ReplyDeleteI didn't care for the scarf at all so extra happy that was not in the tube. Very strange print if you ask me....
Heather-
ReplyDeletelol, I am a Cradholder and like you spend a lot of $$ there. Still no gifts for me.:) Totally random..:)
I agree with Slastena that it is probably random. I am not a cardholder but have spent a lot of money in the past (07 for example). I never used to get these gifts but recently have been getting them all as well as the FS on my acct etc, even though I spend much less.
ReplyDeleteps IRL - that's really bad luck for you :( the other 2 totes have cats on them ...they managed to send you the one dog one
at least they seem to be cats.. :) I think the beach one is questionable, I mean would 2 cats really come to the beach with you...? (Or go shopping in your bag, as for the one with the one girl on it - I know my cat wouldn't, but then the idea is cute :)
ReplyDeleteThe beaoh one is not questionable IMO. Super duper cute. People take things way to seriously. The cats are so super cute. Who cares if cats would really go to the beach or shop or whatever. Enjoy your totes those who got them:)
