Blog: Stick it to ‘Em

JULY 28TH, 2010 Stick it to ‘Em The Harry Potter-possessed person in your life wants a trip to Wizarding World in Orlando, but your pockets are deathly hallow. In lieu of a Confundus Charm, buy them a broomstick. The new Granville Island Broom Company makes brooms fit for fictional characters and cleaning house. Handcrafted on-site by two sisters trained in the art of broom-making by their parents, the family’s brooms were featured in Bewitched and Harry Potter promotions. They sell standard Shakers, but we say opt for one made with a twisty Manzanita branch ($59-$170). While it won’t fly you to Florida, a broom given on the occasion of marriage or housewarming brings good luck.
