Mirror Cell Phone Charm: Love It or Leave It?
I stumbled on this mirror cell phone charm at one of my favorite Japanese discount stores a few weeks ago and still can't get over how cute and funny it is. It reminds me of the Nintendo DM cell charm (yes, you read right "DM charm") a friend of mine picked up for me in Korea last year.
I love that it's kitschy and geeky, but slightly Victorian and whimsical.

Sterling Silver Cell Phone Charm: Love It or Leave It?

Tiffany & Co.'s Gold and Diamond Camera Charm Bracelet
I'm not typically the kind of girl who is drawn to Tiffany & Co., but when they make such a geeky item, it's an obvious play for my affections!
This Camera Charm Bracelet is 18-carat gold with a little diamond for the lens — that actually rotates. Way too rich for my blood though — $1,500 for the charm alone, and another $1,500 for the chain.

They each cost $30 and are 5-inches high and 3 inches wide.
