Gucci and Tonic
Drop me a G, will you? That won't get you the matching dog bed, though.

The world's gone mad. This is not one for the inconspicuous consumer. You can now buy a Gucci ice cube tray.

I personally didn't think that anyone took Wallpaper* - the magazine, not the wall covering - serious, with its preaching of aspirational living. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm quite happy with my 55p plastic ice bags from Woollies.

But here's another suggestion, what about Gucci washing line pegs, eh Tom?
