I am a gift giving junkie. I buy Christmas presents six to eight months in advance. I plan next year's birthday gift before the candles have even been blown out. And I have already brainstormed engagement and wedding gifts for half my friends - none of them are either engaged or married.I love gift giving to the point of being a tad competitive. At Christmas last year I tortured my sister for over a month leading up to the big day over how much better my present would be. As it turned out, her gift (she refurbished a vintage clutch for me) rocked my world, and I had to concede the point.
Given my almost obsessive affinity for scouring stores for the perfect gift, it was with much intrigue that I came across BOKKS London, specialty curators of luxury gift giving. Their business is the art of gift giving... and another great business idea slips through my fingers!
The company does not plan to start their operations until late 2009, but adding to my captivation, you can request a personal password that will allow you into the exclusive BOKKS portal to look around in the shiny world of luxury goods that we usually only get to see from the outside... it's like being able to sneak behind the velvet ropes...sigh.
They do not yet get into a whole lot of detail on the specifics of their gifts, but one can assume from the pictures that you will not be receiving drug store chocolates or a Hallmark card from BOKKS (not that there is anything [much] wrong with those). Items seem to range from fine cigars and engraved silver pens to diamond encrusted mobile phones to bespoke gift experiences to which the only limit is your imagination - and the size of your piggy bank.
BOKKS London may not be within your annual gift giving budget this year, but it is always fascinating to know what the possibilities are!
