July-September 1989 – Power Tie
As we gear up to celebrate 40 years of Australian Giftguide magazine we take a look back at some of the more memorable products to have graced our pages. The power tie was given an extreme makeover with this novelty version by Banning Enterprises and distributed by Skansen Giftware. Only 10cm long, this miniature tie was worn the standard way by being clipped to the shirt. The packaging said it was to be worn “when it’s important to look your very best”. It retailed for $14.95.
