Shiny, small and oh so stylish, these gifts appear to be perfect as stocking fillers or Secret Santa presents.
But there’s one thing that’s not so cute about these little offerings – the price. Jewellers Tiffany & Co has released a collection titled Everyday Objects aiming to turn ‘utilitarian items into handcrafted works of art’.
The gifts include a sterling silver £8,475 ball of yarn, a £945 silver tin can and a £540 silver ‘paper’ cup.

The company is further offering a £400 silver protractor and a £565 first aid box. Its American site is also selling a pair of table tennis bats for £495 and a £1,150 set of walnut and silver ‘building blocks’.
Exchanging ‘Secret Santa’ presents involves all the members of, for instance, a family or office team being given the name of another member of their party, who they must then buy a small present for anonymously.
Tiffany & Co’s more orthodox jewellery range boasts rings worth more than £1million and necklaces costing more than £2million.
But the firm’s chief artistic officer, Reed Krakoff, said: ‘[This collection] incorporates the best quality, craftsmanship and design with a level of functionality that allows you to use these things every day.’
However, the items have left many unimpressed.
One customer in America jokingly said: ‘If you have an extra $9,000 lying around and you choose to spend it on a Tiffany’s ball of yarn, you’re going to hell.’
