BARRETTES

I'm a man, but that won't stop me from suggesting a product for women.  A barrette is a clip used to hold a woman's hair back, or up, or whatever.  They are very common -- and they are very cheap and ugly as a rule.  They are sold as accessories alongside brushes and combs, and cost only a buck or two.  They're usually really poorly made, flaking, peeling, rusting or falling apart quickly.  Presumably you're just supposed to buy new ones and throw the old ones away.

They should be sold in jewelry stores, made of gold and emblazoned with gemstones.  I'd buy a nice one for my wife if I could find one.  But no man in his right mind would buy one of the typical barrettes on the market as a gift for a woman; they're all cheap junk.  That would probably be a good litmus test for the type of barrette I have in mind: if it's conceivable that a man would buy it for the love of his life as a gift, it's the type product I'm talking about.
