Caldecott M u f f & H at Emerging from picture books published a century past, the English ensemble offers both warmth and beautywith a discreet compartment for necessities.

Uncle Drosselmeyer, where are you? The curious master of gift-giving presented Clara with her precious Nutcracker in the beloved tale. A satiable joy accompanies the anticipation of a loved one’s face when unwrapping something unexpected.

(Featured on p.33)

When was the last time that you received a gift that truly spoke to you? I will never forget the kiss-clasped, red velvet purse received on my fourth Christmas. It harboured a small bottle of Blue Waltz perfume, a buffalo nickel and a pearl ring from a bubble-gum machine. This was dear to my heart. Admittedly, and despite our efforts to place importance upon people rather than things, we are ever-seeking cherished possessions. The criteria may be our sentimental love for the person from which it came. Or possibly a found treasure may arouse a personal aesthetic. No matter the reason, remembrances should transcend materialism and offer meaning and insight to the recipient’s whim. Priceless.

French Watercolour

Silk Scarf

Unspeakably beautiful, variegated hues of moss and crimson are rendered to a creamy pallet of finest silk. Pure silk satin. Gift boxed. 22 x 67”. #23541 $39.95 ($80. value)

Compiled within these pages are rarities and “quaints”, peculiar objects with a story to tell (“All is Vanity” Tin Sign, p.38, and The Charleston Gramophone, p.24), good- humoured gifts (“No Floozies in the Jacuzzi” sign p.37), pragmatic pretties that permeate our days with a charmed existence (jeweled flash drives, p.67), and relished consumables (our best-selling bourbon balls on p.12). Those who matter in your life are worthy of heirloom-caliber gifts. As my mother would say, “One cannot afford to purchase cheap goods”. The personal effects that we covet may endure generations as telling souvenirs that muster fond thoughts of who we are. The finest gifts are those we would hope to keep.

Intricately set crimson crystals pose as holly berry upon gilded leaves on icy Swarovski. May also be worn as a pendant. 2”. #23862 $29.95 ($50. value)
