For those who want to makes their world a sparklier, glitzier place, what about a hairbrush, mobile phone or pen encrusted with Swarovski crystals?
Berlin-based company "Bling my thing" can decorate many objects, from laptops to pens, with a mosaic of crystals and has collaborated with large companies such as Nintendo and Microsoft to add some glitter to their products.
The luxury of getting your possessions customised with a unique design doesn't come cheap, but the firm has expansion plans and isn't worried about effects of a economic slowdown on business.
