are they plastic? i'm not sure about having them in the house but they would look great in the garden, do you reckon you could leave them out or would they blow away?

Are you Japanese? Or did you see the English dub Clash of the Bionoids? I've collected all things Macross since the early `90s, always looking for one thing or another from the original show, the movie or flashback 2012.

Odd request. A good friend of mine is moving into a new office space as she's just setup a creative design company. I want to get her something for her desk. I'm thinking a clock, as she's a very "practical" person, and probably would appreciate something like that, compared to say an ornament, or a picture frame.

Any ideas? Budget is around £200. Was looking at what there is on Nest and these caught my eye..

But I want something a a little less mass manufactured and something more unique?

£200 for a desk ornament, for a good friend, for no REAL reason.

What's her name?

Yes, they are plastic and are intended for the garden.. They are surprisingly solid, so don't think they will blow away..

Busted. Well she's an ex but we're still good friends. Just want a gift to say congratulations and to wish her luck in her new venture. Flowers and cupcakes, food baskets etc were all done to death when we were together. Anyway back to the question in hand, as said she's a very practical person, so want to get her something she'll find "useful". Even if it's telling the time and watching it tick away sitting at her desk Laughing out loud

I'm looking for a desk for my new flat - would like something white (or light) as I am putting in against a wall with dark grey wallpaper.

Any suggestions?
