give the best xmas gift this year...

[Amby 490]

Watch your loved one's face light up this Christmas by giving them - a ring embedded with your teeth.

Artist Polly van der Glas offers to turn your pearly whites into a ghoulish gift.

You can literally give someone a smile with a knuckle ring fitted with four of your molars, or let someone special wear a single incisor as a necklace.

Melbourne-based Polly says she sources donor teeth from friends and family "who have been kind enough to offer parts of themselves". They are then sterilised before being turned into jaw-derived jewellery.

Although she admits teeth "are particularly difficult to come by, so any donations are gratefully accepted."

The 28-year-old says she got her interest in the body from her grandfather who was a professor of microbiology at Guy's Hospital Medical School.

She explains: "I have been collecting hair, teeth and fingernails for years, they line the shelves of my apartment in beautiful jars, where the textures and colour variations are amazing (fingernails actually look like delicate shells when collected together in a jar).

Polly is also launching a range of teeth cast in precious metals which she describes as "a bit easier to wear for those who are squeamish but like the concept".

Prices range from £250 for a sterling silver single human tooth signet ring to £420 for a knuckle ring set with four human teeth.

That is weird. But several years back, I read about a couple that cut off a section of their ring fingers for the bones to put in lockets around their necks...

Christmas gift buying drives me nuts and what is the point of exchanging gifts. Basically you are just exchanging money, feel bad if you don't spend enough and receive a more expensive gift or make the other party feel bad if it works the other way around. Then trying to figure out what that person likes, but see all stores offer gift receipts now. Ha, they leave off the price but know instantly what you paid for it if they exchange it.

Areadly made an agreement with my wife no way could I pick out the jewelry or clothes she likes and in no way could she pick out the tools I like. So we can buy our own gifts. Did the same with my family, whatever you are going to spend on us, buy something that you want for yourselves and make believe it's from us. But entirely different with kids, that we like to buy for. Kind of feel that Christmas is for kids.

Besides that, Christmas should be 365 days per year, especially if there is something you really want and it's on sale.

In line with the topic of this thread, wouldn't be wise to give a private part to your spouse, couldn't use it anymore.

Nick, you should give gifts because you have a reason to give them, or not give them if you do not and you do not have to justify either position to anyone
