UNLESS you've bonked a member of the aristocracy, you can't ensure your baby is born with a silver spoon in its mouth.
But if you've got the cash to splash, you can always shove a silver-plated dummy in its gob.
Dummies coated in silver and even gold,are now available to parents who have either more money than taste or delusions of grandeur.
Dummies are a godsend to many a parent. But come on, admit it; they look dreadful. So why would anyone want to draw attention to the plug in their child's face by choosing one that makes everyone gape open-mouthed?.
These gaudy soothers are being sold for £24.99 a time and here's the line their creators are spinning: "There are few beautiful and original gift options available for toddlers with a room full of toys and a closet full of clothes. Elodie Details has now eased the trouble of picking out that special something by transforming many toddlers' most treasured possession into an exclusive piece of jewellery."
Urgghh. Pass the gripe water, per-lease!
