My Needs Are Simple ~ Ornament

• Modest Standards: Said with a straight face and a seven-item list.
• Low Maintenance, Allegedly: For the friend whose drink order needs a footnote.

Tie it to a bottle neck and the hostess gift is done. This round ornament comes in ceramic at 3 inches or aluminum at 3.6 inches with its own string, and a damp cloth keeps it bright.
