If Mr David Beckham ever decided to go into the Christmas decoration market then he should definitely name it Golden Bells.

Given that is probably not on his diversification strategy - though, I guess, his agents have probably been approached with a project similarly titled - then it is great that Grand Illusions have got ahead of the curve.

The great joy of this product is one that can't be appreciated from this listing . . . . it is the sound of the bells. I like to think that it conjures up imaginings of reindeer rather than Morris Dancers, but . . . each to his own. To maximise the joy from the garland I therefore think it will be best placed somewhere where the gentle tinkle of the bells can be appreciated. Maybe wrapped around the banister or hand rail of a staircase, or draped from a chimney breast where it might occasionally be brushed against and the sound of the bells will gently ripple through the air.

In the same vein it would also make a great gift for those people who are inclined to shake their present before they open it in order to try guess what is hidden inside.

Grand Illusions have two other garlands in the same range: mistletoe and golden leaf. The garland has wire twist hooks at each end to enable it to be attached/hung.
