Amazon #31: The 12 reviews of Christmas, part 2.


5 stars - link

While phenomenally exquisite and massively classy, it's an outrageous achievement that these little crystal creatures somehow manage to display massive warmth to us, the admirers (please remember they're made of hardened mineral, and are not toys).

What do you suppose these gold beaked aviators are thinking? Are they aware of the hustle and bustle that their appearance as a duo will undoubtedly create? Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Leaving such deep existentialist thoughts aside, I really really like these and think they are really really nice.

(Swarovski can't be blamed for the astonishing reaction displayed by my wife on opening this as a gift on Christmas morn - comments such as "where did you get the money for this?" and "why am I washing my hair in fairy liquid while you're down William Hill waiting for them to weigh in at Aintree?" are, frankly, irrelevant).
