Three black glass baubles with three French existentialists on them, and a quote on the back of each that undercuts the season. That is the whole product, and it is precise about its audience: philosophy students, anyone who has read The Stranger, and relatives who sigh through the holidays. The black finish matters, because these look intentional on a tree rather than like a gag stuck between the red balls. At eight dollars for three it is one of the cheapest items in this batch and one of the easiest to give to a coworker without it becoming a statement about them. It also fits the Christmas card market for people who dislike Christmas cards. The portraits are illustrated, not photographs.
