My Love Affair with Music Boxes
Written by: John
Anyone who’s been reading this blog for a while knows that I love ITALY!! It is one of my passions. I hope I get to live there again one day. Well, when I went back to Italy for a visit after living there I had one goal in mind. That was to visit a little town called Sorrento on the coast of Italy. I had never been there before and I had only one goal in visiting this town: Purchase Sorrento Music boxes.
It was way out of my way, expensive to visit and I barely had time to go, but it was well worth my time when I returned home with 2 fantastic music boxes.
It would be good enough if the story ended there. However, those 2 purchases were the best music box gifts. The first one I saved for my future wife. We got married a few days before Christmas. That left us on our honeymoon over Christmas. You can imagine her surprise when her new husband gave her a music box. Pretty sweet!! It was the perfect gift to show my softer side, but still give her something cool.
The second one I gave to someone that became fantastic friends with my wife and I. I can’t describe to you how amazed she was when I brought out a music box for her farewell gift. There’s just something special and memorable about getting a music box.
I think this year I’m going to see about getting my wife a Disney music box.
I have been a collector of various luxury items for years now. I’m very satisfied with everything I own, but would like to add a new, original product to continue my collection. I’ve come across a unique line of music boxes and singing birds by http://www.Reuge.com
Do you or anyone have any advice on these products?
I’d like to get the opinion of other luxury lovers before I get one.
