If you’ve got a wonderful little girl in your life (like me), you’ll love these jewelry gift ideas. I’m buying a jewelry box for my teeny princess for Christmas and putting some some thoughtful gifts inside. Here are a few under $5 ideas for both of us.

Amazon is offering Guardian Angel Necklace in gold or silver for just $3.02 shipped! I had one similar to this when I was a little girl and I loved it.

I also couldn’t stand to be away from my Mom when I started school. She gave me a locket with a picture of her inside, so she’d always be with me all day. This Love Locket Pendant & Chain in silver or gold is $3.46 shipped.

These My Little Girl Stretch Charm Bracelets in Sweetheart, Angel or Princess are just $3.69 shipped.

And as a child born in the early 1970′s, you know my 20 something brother bought me my first mood ring. These Girls Moodies Stretch Mood Rings are $3.43 shipped.

OK, I know this is an under $5 list, but these next two are so cute! The two gifts in one Swirly Snail Pendant Necklace in Gift Box is $5.78 shipped. I know my girlie will love the box as much as the pendant.

And the Polar Bear Enamel & Crystal Necklace in Figural Gift Box is $5.89 shipped.

And here are a few more with figural boxes because I just couldn’t help it:

Swan Crystal Necklace in Pink Figural Gift Box is $5.79 shipped

Cupcake Crystal & Enamel Pendant Necklace in Figural Gift Box is $6.90 shipped

Butterfly Necklace Pendant w/ Crystal Wings in Butterfly Gift Box is $5.43 shipped

Note: As with all Amazon prices, the price on this offer can change at any time. This price is valid as of September 17th at 5:40pm EST.

Amazon Program Information Refresher
Understanding these Amazon programs can be confusing, so I though it might be nice to break them down a bit for you.

Some items are available through the Subscribe & Save program. What that means is that you select shipments at regular intervals (every 1-6 months) and you’ll receive the item at the 5% discounted price. Additionally, all subscriptions ship free. If you don’t want to bother with regular shipments (the prices do fluctuate), sign up to receive the shipment you want and cancel (with no penalty) when you’ve received your order. You can cancel via the Your Account dropdown menu tab “Your Subscribe & Save Items.” Canceling is very easy to do.

Alternatively, all items can be shipped free with Amazon Prime as well. You can sign up for a free trial membership and cancel before you are charged the annual fee, if you choose.

I am a member of the Amazon Mom program. Starting January 24, 2012, the maximum discount available on any purchase is 20%. This comes from the exclusive discount of 15% on select items (diapers, wipes, etc.) on top of a revised 5% Subscribe and Save discount vs. 15% for other purchased items i.e. grocery, etc. There are often coupons that are stackable with these discounts as well. Also, when you join Amazon Mom, you have the added bonus of Amazon Prime free Two-Day shipping for the first three months continued only by purchasing an Amazon Prime membership after the trial period ($79).

Amazon Student is free for, well, college students by providing a school and major. You get Amazon Prime free shipping for six months and free release date delivery on video games, DVD’s, books and more. You must have a .edu email address to confirm.

Thanks, Coupons and Freebies Mom!

Scenarios

Here are a couple of scenario ideas for you. As you may have noticed, I included some items without coupons in the matchups. I thought you may want to work them into a $5/$25 scenario – like the Barilla pasta. Sometimes, you just need a $1 item to make it work and you want that $1 to work for you, too!

Final: $10.50 for All 15 items! $0.70 each. That means the entire multipack of chips is just $0.70 – as are the 4pks of Fruit Bowls, etc.
This is nice mix of mostly grocery items for the price. I hope you have the coupons!
