My husband is choosing a 35-year service award from Siemens from a list of options. One of them is described in the blurb pasted below. Although it's free and most of the other choices are jewelry or home appliances or electronics or other such things that really aren't that appealing to us, we still don't want to choose this if it's just a not-very-good novelty. So, is anyone familiar with this item? And, if so, what is your opinion?
