Burberry Haymarket Ellie Wallet 3207027. A beautiful name-brand wallet from Burberry. Great gift idea. This deal of the day is $99 (74% off the $380 retail price). Sale ends at midnight tonight (EST). November 26, 2009. Black Friday.
When I was a kid, I would have hated getting a wallet for Christmas. Even if I was a little girl (which I wasn’t, much to my mother’s disappointment) and got this quality name-brand Burberry wallet, I probably would have chucked it aside, as I often did with the boring, adult gifts my grandparent’s often sent me (a book? A sweater? Socks? Come on, I know it’s been a long time since they’ve had kids, but seriously…they have no clue how to please an over-stimulated entitlement generation…) in favor of something with flashing lights, multi-colors, moving parts, and the ability to shoot play missiles across the room. But what my precious little childhood mind failed to grasp, and what I learned after years and years of consumer disappointment from marketing promises that fell short of giving me “infinity hours of entertainment,” is that the loud and crazy toys break after 15 seconds, the video games become obsolete after 20, and the toy missiles always get lost in 30 (I suspect the dog), but the silly little wool socks my grandma gave me has kept my feet nice and toasty for twenty years. I still own them, and sometimes use them to wrestle with my cat when he feels like biting and clawing something (the dog choked on the play missiles…I knew it).
So looks like my grandparents weren’t so clueless after all. They knew how to give the best gifts, even if I didn’t appreciate it until I was a college freshman living in a dorm with no heating. The Burberry is much the same. No flashing lights or moving parts or shooting missiles (though I think Burberry should look into a missile-shooting handbag…that’s a golden idea…), but it’s a gift that will last for years and years. And the best part is, you don’t have to wait twenty years to appreciate it. You likely have enough taste to realize quality and style when you see it, something this Burberry wallet has in droves (what’s a drove? I dunno). And as the JomaDeals deal of the day, you can get it at a fraction of the price. It makes a great gift for yourself or for a loved one. So buy today so you’ll have plenty of time to buy, wrap, put it under the tree, watch a loved one open it, chuck it to the side to open the big box in the corner, and exchange it for a Burberry Missile Launcher Handbag. Ah, kids. One day they’ll understand.

ABOUT BRAND
In 1856, a young Thomas Burberry opens a small shop in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. A commitment to quality and innovation in fabric and outwear design earned Burberry a loyal following. Since then, they’ve grown to be an international brand, giving us the first official trenchcoat, a number of new fabrics, and creating the trademark Burberry Check pattern. Burberry fabrics have accompanied soldiers on the battlefront and explorers to the South Pole. And now, 150 years after its original creation, Burberry is internationally used and loved by millions of loyal followers.
Black Friday: the most recent unofficial American Holiday, also known as Discount Friday. Future generations will describe this day as one celebrating complete loss of all reason and scruples in the pursuit of getting a Song and Dance Elmo doll for 10% less than you could the day before. It’s the only holiday we have that closely resembles a zombie attack, a refugee swarm, or a Miley Cyrus Concert.
