From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.There was a time when advent calendars were all about... well, advent. Little doors that opened to illustrations and stories were excitement enough in the countdown to Christmas but, in recent years, advent calendars have become another way of encouraging consumerism, with everything from luxury beauty products, food items and even alcohol hidden behind 24 tiny doors.
Now, there is one to top them all, as Tiffany & Co has released a four foot tall advent calendar costing £104,000, making it one of the most expensive in the world.
The luxury jewellery brand has created just four of the calendars, which are filled with expensive gifts including diamond and tanzanite drop earrings, a bottle of perfume, and the jeweller’s signature heart tag bracelet.
Just one of these wildly extravagant calendars will be available for purchase in the UK and will be stocked in Harrods from 9 November.
Prices for the individual gifts range from £100 to £13,000.
The calendar has been modelled on Tiffany & Co’s flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York City and comes in the brand's signature shade of blue.
“This holiday we wanted to really surprise our customers in a whole new way by showcasing the most awe-inspiring objects and experiences that you can only find at Tiffany,” said Reed Krakoff, chief artistic officer at Tiffany & Co.
