Gwyneth Paltrow has opened a store for her Goop shite...

The £145 necklace vibrator has obviously shot straight to the number one spot of my Christmas list.

And also the pube oil - I can just image DH’s face if he walked in as I was oiling my pubes Grin

What looks to have some nice one. The main thing is that it's a mix of metals. Although I once saw a huge crystal one that was deep and mesmerising.

A singing bowl is a metal (usually) bowl where you press round the outside with a stick. It vibrates at a frequency to make a cool noise. Because you have to apply even pressure and speed it's quite hypnotic.

You can put it on parts of the body and play it, the vibrations are meant to help your body in some way. Sometimes people fill it with water too. I usually spill it at that point.

Just played the bowl for the first time in years. You may be taking the piss out of me but I don't care Grin was hypnotic. It forgotten how the sound pulses. And how much it resembles nails down the blackboard if you get it wrong...

They're selling a water bottle on there for £54. Its major selling point is that it has a lump of crystal in it. Confused

Just musing about flogging old Coke bottles repurposed vintage bottles with some pebbles from the garden the healing stones of Norfolk inside them (very famous, very well known), for the low, low price of £40 plus p&p... would be a winner, right?!

Is it for bedroom entertainment MipMip?! Grin

Spud are the pebbles glued to the bottle? Might be a choking hazard otherwise. If I’m rubbing in oil after steaming my bush, I don’t want to worry about choking.

I was serious about the bowl Mip! It looks lovely. It's a long time since I've been in Camden and live many miles away now but I'm going to have a look online.

I love the healing stones of Norfolk Grin think you could be on to a winner there Spud

Try to get a hand beaten / non machine one like the guff goop sells if you can Jane. Meant to give clearer sound.

It's the having to pick the cat hairs off it before putting it back that worries me.

@Tryingtoswallow101 “Pursuing the chicken” sounds like a eupamism.
