I have a fad for crazy things that are functional in nature besides making a difference to the ambience via their silent presence. And now I got the additional third feature that makes them in demand today—they are antique. What a good feel it gives when one installs a globe that can house all your wine bottles and you flaunt it during all your parties.

Featured above is one such wooden globe bar that features world’s finest maple from Malaysia and Vietnam. The boundaries are hand-crafted with hand-highlighted countries via a variety of shades. Oceans are notified via hand-cut panels of maple fitted with exactitude. The 24k gold plated ribbons adds spark to the otherwise dull latitude and longitude lines. Unlike ordinary globe bars that depict old world cartography, these reflect current place names and borders.

Right at the equator, the globe unfolds to offer you the magic of a hidden wine bar with space enough to house bottles, glasses and accessories. It also offers additional area for storage on lower shelf. Its easy-roll casters make it portable to any place, so possibility is now whenever you plan to go for camping; this has to be your must take-away thing. Erecting an inspiring 42″ tall, this globe is ordained to become a valued heirloom. It measures 20″ (diameter) x 42″ (H) x 30″ (W) and is priced at $2,045. Check out the pool of globe wine bars here.

Joining the gang is the bar globe refrigerator that is also a faithful reproduction from XVII Century. This elegant sphere of this globe bar holds 12 glasses and four bottles, with room for more inside the refrigerated cabinet. The refrigerator is handcrafted in Italy and is equipped with 110V. Both these accessories would surely make your guests envious of you. The price of different patterns of refrigerator globe bars vary from $1,849-$2,245.

Vouching for a compliment “One cannot identify your age with your glowing skin” from your dahling! Now you can invite one evn if you aren’t eligible for that. All you need to have is heart to shell out spare dough as UMO, a beauty company assures that the usage of precious metals can make you look younger. All those interested in having ever-glowing skin and are age conscious can give it a try. Unveiling the latest discovery in the industry of cosmetics and beautification is “the gold leaf facial.”

This Luxe 24-Karat gold facial claims to make use of the highest grade of gold leaf during its 80-minutes exercise. Before massaging, gold leaves are placed on face. UMO guarantees that the process would offer you firmer, brighter and suppler skin. UMO’s practice and logic of using metal has roots in the strong historical tradition. They say Cleopatra use to sleep in gold mask every night and Chinese empresses supposedly used gold rollers to massage their faces. Unlikely, gold is presently not used commonly as a part of modern day treatments for simple reason that it’s difficult to penetrate inside the skin. UMO shares that it has devised a technology that enables staff at the Charleston Place spa (venue where 24-karat gold facial is being done) in South Carolina to overcome the gold-penetration issue. Currently, it is not available in Britain but is enjoying its reach across the Atlantic at a value of £180 ($360).

Seemingly a bouncy castle, these air-filled bars are offered on rent to celebrate social gatherings or just to flaunt your lifestyle. The product of such pubs is a part of business run by an enterprising couple based in Skye.

Paul and Diane Browning shifted to Portree four years back and today their firm Amber Iris is being honored as the limited UK distributors of inflatable pubs. The pubs are designed in four varieties viz. Firkin, Kilderkin, Barrel and the Hogshead (all christened after beer containers) and are priced between £4379 and £16,500.

They meet the similar standard as that of bouncy castles and are quite durable. It is multi functional as can be used as a coaching inn, a highland lodge and even a wine bar. Whilst the domestic distribution of inflatable pubs is running actively, their global reach is what the duo is looking at. And why not? After all, they deserve a global presence.

Constructed using air blowers and metal stanchions, it takes only two-hours to construct a single pub. The giant pub called the Hogshead can house almost 50 people. This is an ordinary size of a stone-built pub measuring 50 feet X 25 feet, demands four people to unfold it. The pubs feature a pan-tiled roof effect with chimney pots. Enter inside the pub and you would be welcomed with a pretentious fireplace and stonewall effect. unfortunately for faggers, the puffs are banned and likewise other pubs, there is no dearth of hot air.
