“Wanting to get something special and sparkly this Christmas?,” asked the press release from Liberty. I perked up. I LOVE Liberty and always make time to go in when I’m in London. It’s delicious, so it is. Anyway, the bods at the store would like me to take note of their exclusive Tweezerman tweezers, created especially for them. “Ooh that sounds nice,” I thought. Purple, embellished with Swarovski crystals. Blinging pouch – all good.
Then I looked at the price. SEVENTY FIVE POUNDS! I began to channel Brian Potter in Phoenix Nights, at the very moment when he expresses surprise and disgust at the combination of garlic and bread. “SEVENTY FIVE POUNDS FOR A TWEEZERS?” Why, in my day, etc.
In fact, the only thing more comedic than this wonderful example of capitalism in action is the fact that should you desire to purchase this item, you will also have the great privilege of paying TWENTY FIVE POUNDS for delivery to Ireland. Making this a HUNDRED POUND TWEEZERS.
What a super bargain! I think I shall have two!

Woah! Why would you pay for something like that?! That’s insane!
my mother would have a heart attack if you told her this.
Kirstie I love your last line, hilarious!
I’ll have 3!!
Think I’ll have 3!!
I must order one for everyone on my Christmas list immediately. Sure who’d be without them?
are they being hand delivered by a half (or fully!) naked gorgeous delivery man for that price?! dear god….
jaysus they’re about 2 years too late with it. that kind of madness is soooo 2007! why do companies always seem to think a few swarovskis glued on adds loads to the value of items.
Getting a tad tired of the whole ‘limited edition crystal covered’ vibe; think the only winners really are Swarovski who must be laughing their heads off…’they wanted to cover WHAT with our super expensive crystals? well, okay…let’s all skip to the bank now’.
I was just flicking through Irish Tatler and saw a swarovski adorned Russell Hobbs toaster. Baffling.
Jeebus! To be a fly on the wall at *that* marketing meeting!!
You must be joking! The best tweezers I ever bought was an own brand one from Superdrug. I think it cost me about €3, and 3 years on is still doing a great job.
Sure with the sterling in our favour these days against the Euro, it’s a steal! You’d be mad not to snap these up
Crystal studded toaster?!!!
I’ll have 5…. now where’s my crystal-covered credit card? Hmmmm…
Wow can I get a swarovski studded cooker to go with the toaster? It’ll be sparkle-tastic in my kitchen this Christmas.
Hahahaha! That reminds me of a line from Napoleon Dynamite (anyone seen it?). Imagine, they’re getting ready for the release of a new model of toaster/tweezers/whatever. and someone goes “Wait…I forgot the crystals…”
Got my best tweezers in M&S ,Its got a light on it in a mirrored case for 14 yo yos.On the subject of swarovski diamondys things..surprised Ann Summers haven’t done a Rabbit yet..now THAT i may consider;-)
This is bloody hilarious. Who would buy this? Seriously!!
Ya, really?? And £25 postage – you’d get cheaper flights!
The £75 price is bad enough, but it’s the £25 postage to Ireland that makes me even sicker! For that price I’d want it hand delivered to me by Alex Skarsgard! (Brad Pitt would do at a pinch – but that beard would have to go first!)
I love Liberty but you’d want to be MENTAL to buy that.
