When Flamingos Sit on Your Desk –

Enter the Taste Free Zone

Sitting on my desk is a wedding present for some friends with a flamingo fixation. Yes a flamingo fixation. Carol and Simon are potty about the strangest birds in creation. And this present is far from special in terms of taste and durability or even value for money. What is it, well it is an eighteen inches high outdoor ornament? And what kind of ornament, why a polyurethane flamingo with built in solar powered LED lights that build up power during the day and light up at night. It is truly tacky. I am utterly proud to have found it, why, because I know that they will love it? It will keep the chickens company in the dark nights. They call the chickens the ‘Ladies in Lavender’ for no reason known to man. They are one of a kind or should I say one of a couple. And I found out what a flamingo in slang was. I was shocked.

On our block all of the guys call her flamingo
Cause her hair glows like the sun
And her eyes can light the skies (well the plastic one does)
When she walks she moves so fine  just like a flamingo

Well not the one on my desk obviously!

Proper Tasteful

Now if you have loved ones or friends who are a bit more straight-forward to buy for then we have it covered. If you are off to a wedding or anniversary soon then take a gander at our occasions selection and choose something of lasting value and definitive good taste and I can guarantee there will be no plastic flamingos whatsoever. Have a look at the Royal Scot Crystal - Skye - Box of 6 Flute Champagne Glasses all in a tasteful presentation box and half price to boot. It is five star rated and darn good looking stuff.
