Black Friday Showing

Friday, November 28th, 2008

Welcome to our newest lacquer box showing! Today is "Black Friday", the official start of the Christmas sales season for retailers, and indeed some very hot items are on sale. We do wish you luck! But if you prefer not to follow the herds of shoppers to the malls, then we invite you to consider what we offer.

The Russian lacquer boxes is totally unique, can be as exquisite as a beautiful diamond ring, and will outlast that big screen TV many times over. And you will love the reaction of the recipient, particularly if the person has never seen a Russian lacquer box before. First, you'll have the "Oh, what's this?" stage. But after a little explanation, or after the person reads the certificate, their interest will rise with each moment. Watch them as they hold the box, begin to admire the details and come to the realization that it is a one-of-kind creation from the hands of a skilled craftsman and artist. They will quickly understand that they are not just holding a present, but something that will be with them throughout their life, and if they have children, throughout their children's lives, as well. (One small caveat to that, though. You MIGHT want to hold off giving a box to a 12 year old boy who is expecting a Wii game console. Just a hunch.)

Now to the showing, where we have another a fine assortment of reasonably priced boxes to offer. We won't bore you with a sales pitch today, but guarantee that because it's not Thanksgiving anymore, we don't have any turkeys for you! (groan...) Next week, look for six dazzling new Fedoskino boxes including a true gem by Fedoskino artist Aldoshkina.
