Concrete candy by Wonder

My friend L hates cut flowers. What is the point, she asks, of a gift of something that will just wither and die in front of you? Whilst I disagree in principle (I always have fresh flowers at home), I can see how that kind of thing might make gift-giving a little difficult. Candy is similarly difficult. Once given, it is soon gone (although personally I'd rather have cheese). Portuguese design house Wonder have come up with a solution for all of you brooding over similarly particular women. Don't buy your sweetheart cheap roses from a hopeful looking man hovering over your table in the bar. Instead, invest €10 in some concrete candy from Wonder. It will never be eaten, meaning that no food-related guilt is incurred and, in the event of an argument, these pieces are small enough to avoid any lasting damage to surrounding furniture, pets and/or people. So voila, daters of non-traditional women, don't say I never do anything for you.

  1. "similarly particular women" i am not sure if this is a complement or not?
    But I am getting over my flower phobia - i like to rescue flower from the bottom of the bargain bin now!

  2. Lucy: Always a compliment :) It means you won't stand for garage carnations - rightly so!
