Be creative, especially if you are buying something for a loved one. How many times have you thought of spending an evening with the woman you love and presenting her with a diamond? You don’t want to go to a fancy restaurant. You are a pizza and beer guy. Why not get her a pizza with diamonds. Sound ridiculous. It really isn’t. There are many things out there that are laden with diamonds today and pizzas are just a few.If you are interested in purchasing a pizza with a little pizazz, you can buy one for a thousand dollars in New York. The eight slice pizza equals out to be about $125 a piece. Are there really diamonds on it? No, but for 125 dollars a slice there ought to be. The latest trend in New York is to buy the pizza and then presenting a diamond along with it. If you have that much to spend on a pizza, the diamond better be nice.

I wouldn’t get this phone wet or leave it in your purse in a shopping cart.
