Stick it to ‘Em

July 28, 2010

The Harry Potter-possessed person in your life wants a trip to Wizarding
World in Orlando, but your pockets are deathly hallow. In lieu of a
Confundus charm, buy them a broomstick.


The new Granville
Island Broom Company
makes brooms fit for fictional characters and
cleaning house. Handcrafted on-site by two sisters trained in the art of
broom-making by their parents, the familys brooms were featured in Bewitched
and Harry Potter promotions. They sell standard Shakers, but we
say opt for one made with a twisty Manzanita branch ($59-$170).

While it wont fly you to Florida, a broom given on the occasion of
marriage or housewarming brings good luck.
