Museum gift stores have such an interesting array of items that I’ve been known to visit and skip the actual museum.

New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art is no exception. For the holidays they have this pretty holly berry necklace. The inspiration: This statement necklace of jade holly berries interprets a detail from a charming trade card in The Met collection. Happy New Year, Mr. Holly and Miss Mistletoe (1889–90), from the New Years 1890 Cards series issued by Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company, illustrates delightful personifications of holly and mistletoe snuggling together in loving harmony.

This sells for USD$225; Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!
