Christmas Tree Ornaments!

[Clouseau]

PeterSellers.com has apparently had something up on their site about this for some time, but being the lazy bum that i am, i only just noticed it today, so i thought i'd bring it to your attention...

Icons of an Era

Peter Sellers
With this ornament, you can light up the TV screen as well as listen to the familiar sounds of the Pink Panther theme song. Then, remember doubling over in laughter at the clueless Inspector Clouseau. British comedian Peter Sellers used peculiar speech patterns, strange disguises, over-the-top site gags and wild marshal arts encounters to bring the bumbling inspector to life. Now, you can add the incompetent Clouseau to your ornament collection!

now there's good news and bad news...

the good news: before Christmas, this ornament cost $15.00US, but as of the time i am typing this, it is on sale for only $5.00US!

the bad news: if you order it online, they only offer it to people in the United States and Canada...

i've just ordered mine!

just thought i'd post an update... i ordered my ornament on the 23rd, right before i posted this topic, as it says above, and believe it or not, i received it in the mail on the 26th! talk about your fast shipping!!

i can't wait til next Christmas, now, so i can hang this on next year's tree! the TV screen lights up (looks like there's just a single bulb in the center behind the TV screen), and like the info above says, it plays part of the Pink Panther theme song... i thought it was incredibly cool, myself, though i think most folks will say i'm easily amused... but i'm so amused, i think i might not even wait til Christmas... i think i may just find a spot for this to sit on my desk so i can use it all year long!

as an added bonus, the ornament was shipped with a little sampler package (4 pieces) of gourmet chocolates... chocolate and Clouseau! what more can you ask for?!

anyway, suffice as to say, this is one very satisfied customer!

for those of you who couldn't get in on the Clouseau ornament above (or for those of you who just didn't get in on it, or who got in on it and just want something else), i thought i'd bring to you attention that there was a Pink Panther Christmas ornament that Hallmark produced in 1993... it's still available online (depending on where you go) starting at $10.00-$15.00...



a quick Google will turn up a variety of vendors...


there was also an ornament by Carlton in 1998 that is a little harder to find, but it's out there for around $15.00, as well...

my favorite one is the hallmark one.
