Gotta Get One Of These!
These are must-have accessories for the stylish girl with absolutely everything!
Elegant frou-frou creations to make life more glamorous – much in line with long cigarette holders a la Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s – these are the latest additions to Zippo’s Multi Purpose Lighters (MPL). Best thing is, they come in all sorts of lovely candy colours for us ladies. After all, who’s going to be lighting the candles and heating up the essential oils around the room and the bathtub?
I like the Zippo Mini MPL which you can carry around. Much prettier than a box of matches or those awful flourescent plastic lighters! Whip it out for candles before a dinner party, to light your kid’s birthday cake (see the other moms’ eyes narrow in envy!) and Mid Autumn Festival lantern, or to ignite incense sticks at the temple. Cool Asia! Comes in pearl, silver, black and pink, at HK$250.
Not as cute, but my favourite is the Flex Neck MPL – in silver, please – for flaming up hard-to-reach places. Its wind-resistant flames and dual flame technology means you can get the barbecue going on a windy day, or get the campfire going in wet weather while out camping. It sports an adjustable flame, a patented child-resistant safety button and an advanced ignition system. Silver or black, at HK$290.
I want one!
Available at Wing On Department Stores (Central Branch / Tsim Sha Tsui East Branch / Yau Ma Tei Branch), Sogo Department Stores (Causeway Bay Branch / Tsim Sha Tsui East Branch) and Hong Kong Automobile Association (No. 391 Nathan Road, Kowloon; near Temple Street).
