Cheap Thrills: getting the most bang for your budget

Carat topper

How the 2-Carat Cup was designed in 2006, but has yet to have its own infomercial, confounds me. It’s so tacky and perfect: “Girlfriend nagging you for a ring? Surprise her with a… mug!”

See, the handle is a ring, “diamond” and all, nestled in a deceptive black velvet box. Sometimes, a thing of beauty is a joke forever. Buy it for $19.95 at Rolo (24 Bellair) or the AGO Gift Shop (317 Dundas W.).
