I always think that originality in your gift choice can either be a boom or bust strategy! I like to live on the edge so this is what my wife has to endure at Christmas or special occasions. I like to think it makes receiving a gift more exciting - because “you never know what you’re gonna get”.
That’s why when I saw this beautiful amulet it kind of struck me as being very unusual and very beautiful. Plus I could never imagine my wife asking for a Temple St Clair Crystal Rock Amulet for her birthday!!
This beautiful object retails for $1,500 and incorporates 18k gold round a crystal. Amulet with bail measures approx. 2” long and 1” wide. It’s also available in white gold.
Umm watch out wifey, this could be under the tree for Christmas 2007.
No these aren’t a saucy rip off from a Carry On film!! These are next generation stress relievers.

If you’re a bit of a masochist then you might enjoy this party game.
Named “Don’t break the bottle” it’s a genuine brain teaser and definitely not for the thirsty!
Gizoo say:
“The wine bottle puzzle consists of a few pieces of wood, some beads and a bit of rope. The challenge is to manoeuvre all the different parts so that the bottle can be taken out intact. This may involve pushing the ball through, passing the rope over, or pulling the block around, one thing or another. You’ll be surprised how many people will accept the challenge - it looks much easier than it is. If you manage to free the bottle of wine you’ll certainly deserve a glass.
It’s so frustrating if you’re the one attempting to solve this wooden puzzle, but great fun for anyone who’s watching. Watching someone struggle to release the bottle as everyone else offers ‘helpful’ advice will have you in stitches. Everyone will have their own way of tackling this puzzling task.
If you’re trying to release the bottle, it won’t be long before you’re desperate for the wine inside and the name of the puzzle - Don’t Break the Bottle - suddenly makes perfect sense, as you try anything to solve it!”
