Phew, EXPENSIVE! For me, I love to visit an antique store and spend a few hours browsing. I look until I find that item that inspires me in regards to my intended 'victim'. The article of belonging that I believe will affect them emotionally. But hey, if I had the money... SHOOOT! GREAT ARTICLE! KEEP IT UP!
