Mother’s Day Gifts at the Best Pawn Shop in Norfolk

5/11/2017

1 Comment

 
​Most of us are blessed enough to have a loving, caring mom who protected, nurtured and raised us to the best of her ability. Whether she selflessly gave up a decade of her career to be a stay-at-home mom, or she endured the complexity of raising children while also working, you were her love and her life.

​​This Sunday is Mother’s Day, the one day a year set aside just for her. For the extent of our young lives, the other 364 days were spent in self-sacrifice to make sure we were happy and healthy.
Mom and Son
A lifelong bond of heart and soul...
In the hustle-and-bustle of our adult lives, it’s easy to lose sight of what really matters. ​

Many of us are now parents ourselves. The adoration for our children is a reflection of the same love our parents had for us and always will, regardless of how many years have passed. We are still their children, and owe who we are today to their timeless devotion.
Make this Sunday a special Mother’s Day, one she’ll remember always. If you think a gift of jewelry, like a necklace, pendant or birthstone earrings is outside of your budget, consider the huge savings to be found at a discount store. There are several in the area, but at American Pawn Gun and Jewelry Exchange we pride ourselves on being both the best pawn shop in Norfolk as well as having the best selection of preowned jewelry anywhere around. Anyone who’s been in our showroom can attest to that, as well as the lowest prices, and that Dennis is always ready to make a deal. We’re open thru Saturday at 6:30pm!

Roosevelt Gardens is right around the corner and has just about everything for mom. Stop by Norfolk Florist and pick out a bouquet of flowers (yes, they’re open this Sunday from 10-2), take her out for a nice dinner at Azalea Inn, or just sit and enjoy the weather with a couple of Penguin’s SnoBalls!
​​It’s the thought that counts. But If you want to get her something she’ll have forever, come see us at American Pawn Gun and Jewelry Exchange and let our staff help you in your treasure hunt! You can always find jewelry in the $50 - $150 price range, and if you don’t see that perfect gift, just ask what they might have in the back!

​But remember, get here before 6:30pm Saturday. On Sunday, we’ll be having a special day with our families too! 
Mom and Daughter
If you’re blessed enough to still have your mom in your life, cherish every minute of it. The woman that picked you up when you fell down, or picked you up when you were just feeling down. The love that has survived all your misgivings, and sometimes, hers as well. Sunday is her special day.
​“All that I am I owe to my mother.”   -George Washington

Happy Mother's Day!

Valentine’s Day at American Pawn Gun and Jewelry Exchange

2/1/2017

​Ahh…it’s that time of year again. Love is in the air, and you eagerly await February 14th when you can finally give that special someone the perfect gift that says “you are my world”. Candles, dinner…a starry-eyed evening…that is, of course, unless you wait until the last minute – or worse – let it slip your mind! The easiest way to cause hard feelings in your relationship is to forget Valentine’s Day, in fact many women say they are willing to end their relationship over it!

​Sure, you’ve still got a couple weeks, but don’t be that guy…the one who rushes after work to join the mob of people at Walgreens looking for a card (that says something good enough to make up for the fact that he is otherwise coming home empty-handed). Or even more regretful, the one standing in line and grossly overpaying for roses because he waited until the last minute. Here’s a fun fact from the National Retail Federation – 45% of men think that flowers are the ideal gift, however only 4% of women agree. Women want something shiny, sparkly, or both!
​
Don’t think that a small budget precludes a jewelry purchase for Valentine’s Day. If you’re a savvy shopper who knows how to get the best for less, you know that discount stores are one-upping retail jewelry stores, and for a good reason. Retail stores mark items up as much as 300% (even more for diamonds), and customers are finally taking notice. Let’s take a look at last year’s spending:
Valentine Day Spending
Out of a staggering 19.7 billion dollars spent on Valentine’s Day, the largest (4.5 billion) was spent on jewelry. One might assume that jewelry stores trumped the rest of the retail world leading up to February 14th. A few years ago this may have been true, but times are changing; here’s where the money was actually spent:
Valentine Money Spent Where
Jewelry stores accounted for only 11% of all jewelry sales. People are turning to stores such as pawn shops, where they get tremendous values on fine jewelry that would otherwise be out of the question. American Pawn Gun and Jewelry Exchange has worked hard to become the best pawn shop in Norfolk, and we pride ourselves on having one of the best selections of preowned jewelry and the lowest prices in Hampton Roads. Each piece is professionally cleaned, refurbished, and priced at 40% - 50% of what it would cost retail.

Regardless of your price range (aka your “love budget”), you don’t have to forego quality to find something you can afford. Whether it’s birthstone jewelry, a promise ring or 14K necklace, we have an abundance of gold and silver jewelry in the $100 to $250 range. Find huge savings on some of the more popular items such as gold or silver heart pendants (I just counted 41 in the display case), solitaire earrings (14 pairs and more in the back), and Pandora bracelets (5 as of today). If you’re looking for something more non-traditional, we also have vintage and unique items that you just won’t find anywhere else.
​
Keep it simple, avoid the last-minute crowd, and enjoy the ease of shopping with a small business and getting a great deal. There is something sitting on our shelf that she will absolutely love – and you will love the price at American Pawn Gun and Jewelry Exchange!

As much as you love her (or him), you don’t have to break the bank on Valentine’s Day. For the price of roses and chocolate, come to the best pawn shop in Norfolk and give a gift that will last forever!

​Ladies, you do it every day. Gaze at your wedding ring, turn it in the light to see that diamond sparkle, and then hold it at arm’s length to see how it looks to others! As much as you adore and cherish it, do you ever wish it was just a little bigger, or perhaps had a little more color and clarity? How about an accent wrap, or maybe even a new ring altogether? Well you’re not alone – every woman dreams of upgrading their wedding ring (and some, their husband along with it!). If you’ve ever talked with a retail jewelry store, don’t let their outrageous prices discourage you. As we’ve said before, a reputable pawn shop is an excellent place to look for jewelry, because not only is it completely refurbished to like-new condition, but you pay half the retail cost!

Along with the huge savings, the best pawn shops take pride in having a large variety of fine jewelry, a diversity that retail jewelry stores simply cannot provide. From traditional styles…to vintage/antique…to completely unique…find hidden treasures for any occasion…in any price range!
