A tiffany ring, from friend to lovers

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

Last week I had an unforgettable trip with an intimate friend to an amusement park. We had fun in almost all the items in the park but the most impressive one in my opinion was the 4-d film. It was a treasure story: with the mysterious music sounding, there appeared the magnificent world of deep bottom of the sea. I could feel the flow of the seawater, and the movement of uncountable small fishes and other sea creatures. After that there were suddenly a great amount of treasures poured upon us: rings, necklaces, and diamonds, nearly all of us could not help standing up toward them. When a ring reached my face I suddenly heard the shout of my friend: “I will get it for you Abigail! It is a Tiffany! Would you let me put it on your finger?”

I didn’t quite catch his word at that time but later thinking back, I was suddenly startled. Certainly we could not really catch any of the treasures, but the words of my friend stuck in my mind. Oh, what a romantic thing it would be if someone really sent me a Tiffany ring! But I immediately said to myself: what are you thinking about? He is just a good friend, a friend who can play with you and accompany you through any difficulties. But that’s all. And I laughed a little silently, letting the idea passing.

We had lunch together that day in an expensive restaurant in the amusement park. Yes, things are always expensive in tourist spots, but I didn’t want to appear too stingy before my friend now that he suggested it. I ordered a plate of boiled rice and went to the counter. But the moment I reached out my hand with money, it was pressed down. Turning around I found my friend smiling. “Let me treat you to the meal.”

While eating he said all of a sudden: “Do you remember the Tiffany ring in the film?” “Sure. It was wonderful.” “You want one in real?” “Haha, will you buy one for me?” “Well Abigail, I don’t have the money now but I can do that maybe later.” “Oh? You are joking again, right Harley?” “No, I am serious this time. Well I am gonna be direct. Abigail, I like you, would you be my girlfriend? I cannot afford a Tiffany by now but I will work hard to earn it.”

And I was so moved. “Sure, you have always been a good friend and I believe that you can also be a good boyfriend. Take me!”

From that day on we were lovers.

Great Gift Ideas For Men – Celtic Jewellery?

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

I was desperately searching for the perfect gift for my friend Mike’s 50th birthday and was astonished when my cousin suggested Celtic jewellery. Mike is one of those mens men, into rugby and football but too old to play now. A round of golf and propping up the bar at the end of the game is about his limit.

I said no way and laughed when Maxine made the suggestion. Mike is so cave mannish he won’t even use mens deodorant and only uses aftershave when he’s on a promise with his wife Rita. I could imagine the look on his face if I bought him a Celtic pendant or ring – it doesn’t bear thinking about!

Celtic jewellery was out of the question, so my search for something different began. As Mike has been a good friend since our school days I wanted to buy something pretty special for him. I was really flummoxed, no point in going down the cosmetic route and Mike doesn’t read much so books or book tokens were out of the question.

I looked at golf related gifts, but unless I bought something gimmicky there wasn’t anything that he really needed or would use. I like my gifts to be useful as well as different, no point in buying something that is not wanted or used.

I searched the shops in town for 3 hours and ended up with nothing but sore feet and disillusionment. There were plenty of gift packs for men – they are gearing up for Christmas earlier than ever this year – but they were just overpriced and nothing special.

When I got home I sat back comfortably on my sofa, lap top on knee, coffee at my side and searched the Internet. There was a lot more choice than in the shops – you could say that I was spoilt for choice. So much choice I still couldn’t decide what to get for Mike’s birthday present.

Out of interest I keyed ‘mens Celtic jewellery’ into a search engine and was totally astonished at what I saw. Unique, intricate, gorgeous designs that looked really special to me.

I loved the unique Celtic jewelry designs so much that I was keen to buy but then I pictured Mike wearing a Celtic bracelet, pendant or ring and just couldn’t do that to him unless as a joke gift before the main present. There was a neat dress watch with a Celtic bracelet, but I knew that Mike’s wife Rita had bought him a watch for his last birthday.

Then I clicked on a link and found exactly what I was looking for. A few weeks earlier I’d seen him at the pub and he’d been grumbling about it being cold on the golf course and it was in the middle of an English summer! With winter coming on it was a good idea to buy him a gift that he could enjoy, was useful and kept him warm whilst playing his favourite game.

That special gift idea was a hip flask with an intricate Celtic cross adorning the side. Brilliant! I knew that Mike would love that. Filled with his favourite brandy it would keep him warm on a cold English winter or summers day.

I also bought Mike a Celtic design key ring and fob and an early Christmas gift for myself – a really gorgeous pewter and malachite Celtic bracelet. The prices for Celtic jewellery are unbelievably low for such beautiful workmanship and the designs have special symbolic meanings.
