Anniversary Tin

Other Half has a thing for tins, as do I (though I rather just look at them than own them), so when we first laid eyes on the 110th anniversary tin for Shiseido (Parlour) around the holiday season, it was surely a thing to behold.  The red color pattern with sparkle is visually striking, and whatever contents were in it (biscuits, it turns out) were only secondary.  Unfortunately, in the few times that I have seen it on display, it was sold out.  I did not give it much thought until a few days ago when I saw it again, but this time was available for purchase, but I did not buy it there so as to bring Other Half to see its availability in full glory.  Alas, when I did so, it was sold out again and I was roundly told off for not buying it then and there, but upon my revisit a few days later, it was for sale once more and at long last, it was ours.

It turns out that the biscuits inside are quite good, too.
