Lion & Tiger Collectors
House cats think they are lions, and lions nap in the sun like house cats, so somewhere in between lives the perfect gift for anyone with a fierce streak. Limoges lion and tiger boxes suit the safari traveler, the fan whose team has a big-cat mascot and the boss who rules the office with a velvet paw. Each one is hand-painted in France, hinged and arrives gift-boxed. It roars louder than a gift card ever could.
Look for jungle tigers prowling through painted greenery, sometimes in pairs, plus a snowy white Bengal and a playful tiger cub. A lion dad keeps watch over his little one, a cheetah stretches out on a log and a leopard lounges on a black couch like a movie star. The wild side spills into fashion, too, with tiger-stripe purses and cheetah-print shoes and hats. There may even be a tiger pencil holder for the desk. Spots and stripes are painted on one by one.
Big cat collectors tend to fall into two camps: wildlife purists and animal-print devotees. Happily, this collection keeps both camps purring. Group lions and tigers on a dark wood shelf for a safari-lodge look, or set the cheetah-print accessories on a vanity tray beside your sunglasses. Add a cub for each new grandchild and watch your pride grow. For the graduate heading into the jungle of the working world, one of these says it best: go get 'em, tiger.
