Holiday Gift Giving Guide 2008
With the onset of winters, we all start feeling high and plan to make the best of Christmas holidays scheduled. This clearly is an indication that it’s time to dig a big hole in one’s pocket and buy gifts for your loved ones. But the confusion remains, from where can one ink best yet affordable deals as one feels surrounded by the all the bells and whistles of the season. I was on a shopping spree last week and scanned the availability of exciting products worth gifting. And here are my finds for the cold season, all set to spread warmth via your love and wishes attached to them.
Giuseppe Zanotti’s Christmas Shoe, £890
With motto “less is more,” Giuseppe Zanotti is engaged designing a limited edition shoe that would tune with the Bah Humbug! theme of Christmas. Priced at £890, the shoe design seems no less than a pedestal for the foot with a 1.5-inch chrome platform and 5.5-inch heel. What adds appeal to the look of the shoe is the black suede, a quietly-luxe ankle strap festooned with Swarovski black diamond micro-crystals. They say it would be available at Giuseppe Zanotti boutiques starting 1 December.

Armani Eyewear has lately unveiled their exclusive range of sunglasses to commemorate its 20th anniversary.

Priced at $1000, each pair is embossed with its edition number of 0001 – 1000 and comes in a noticeable “Anniversary Editon” Neiman Marcus case.
