Expensive (but worth it) gifts for the truly worthy (continued)

Hey, Mick. I don't know if you know it or not, but B&O's a Lotus shop. Their media page (for press info) has our favorite, happy little Domino icon.

One ring to romance them all
I'm not sure exactly who Iron gaming's Lord Darrious is trying to romance, but he's certainly pulling out all the stops. In our previous gift list, the one with the super-expensive gifts, he'd found a $29,999 ring, discounted to a mere $11,499.

In this article, he's dropped his sights to a ring that's a mere $1,479. This one's a 14K White Gold 1 1/3 ctw. Princess Cut Three-Stone Diamond Ring, as shown in Figure P.

It's pretty. But does it measure WiFi? Roll over picture for a larger image.

What more can we say. Darrious, man, you've sure got the right intentions. Dude, I hope she's listening. Good luck!

The big-money gift certificate
And, now that we've seen Darrious make his latest play for the ladies, we're going to wrap up this article with what seems to have become a gift-giving theme from ZATZ Managing Editor Denise Amrich: the Amazon gift certificate:

$5K Amazon Gift Certificate. Wouldn't a shopping spree from Amazon be a great gift? Nothing better than being able to get what you really want -- you could buy a new PC with a huge monitor and a printer and still have money left over for sofware.

She says, "That's the stress-free gift!"

To be clear, we get nothing from Amazon for this series of shameless (and somewhat pointless) recommendations. It's just what we do.

I hope you've found something you want. If not, we've got some less expensive items coming up in our $50-$500 category.
