The “Trickster” Air Guitar by Amanda Dunbar at Dunbar Studios is a fully playable guitar based on the iconic Fender Telecaster. This fabulous piece of art has an alderwood body, rosewood fingerboard and maple neck. The design is hand-painted and there are hand-applied Swarovski crystals as embellishments. It’s RFID-tagged and comes with a case, authenticity certificate and lifetime warranty. There are only FIVE available of this design, so if you’re feeling generous you can get this for someone special or for yourself at Neiman Marcus for a mere $19500.

If you don’t like the design on that guitar, there’s another option. The “Flame Player” Art Guitar is also by Dunbar Studios and features the eternal classic flame design in blue. This electric guitar is fully playable and is based on the Gibson Les Paul design. As with the ‘Trickster‘ there are only FIVE of these available. The guitar body and neck is mahogany, with a rosewood fingerboard. The design is hand-painted and also has hand-applied Swarovski crystals. RFID-tagged and comes with a case, authenticity certificate and lifetime warranty. Still feeling generous? This one is 18900 at Neiman Marcus

Ok, so they’re a little pricey. They’re collectibles! All in the name of art, right?

Books for the Glamorous Fashionista

Of course I had to start with the the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer. This series has swept up more than a few of my friends and now all four hardcover books are available in one boxed set. $59 at Barnes & Noble

More fabulous boxed sets after the fold…

Another classic set is the Harry Potter Series by J. K. Rowling. Truly a collector’s item, this boxed set has all seven of the books in the series incased in a fun trunk-like cardboard box. $137 at Barnes & Noble

The Chronicles of Narnia Hardcover Boxed Set by C. S. Lewis would be a wonderful addition to anyone’s library. $96 at Barnes & Noble

Last but not least, my favourite series, A Wrinkle In Time Quintet Boxed Set by the late Madeleine L’Engle. I remember reading this back in Jr. High and the story is still very touching. I highly recommend this series if you or someone you know is a fan of any of the sets above. $30 at Barnes & Noble
