Tiffany’s Not Taboo

Right, here we go again: the time for the List of Longings has arrived! Or should I say: the Crusade for Crushes? The idea of those long walks in malls and mainstreets, in order to find the right gift for the right person for Xmas, makes my toes turn instantly in a rather odd and uncomfortable angle. 

Like every year, I’m optimistic in the beginning. But as sure as there will be Xmas balls hanging in Xmas trees, and turkey in the oven, I’ll be seized with cramp before you can say Yoho! Let’s call that a part of the tradition? Then again, this year, I might break with a certain part of this tradition: the part that ruins my shoes!

With a bit of luck I’ll be able to catch at least one tricky bird (a magpie with a soft spot for shiny things) with one click (or two) this season. I found out I don’t need to be a VanderBilt, Audrey Hepburn or Marilyn Monroe to find a gem that won’t cost a fortune. It’s the UK Tiffany Day with the slogan Best Gift for Christmas – Tiffany Jewelry that makes Tiffany no longer a Taboo for me. The amazing discounts down there, for bangles to bracelets, and from charms to cuffs, might even make it possible for me to get a second bird singing any Xmas carol I like. That’s what I call a real bonus! Image by Photobucket/patricia_horner
