If we’re being honest, ‘original gift idea’ is not something that most people are experts on. Particularly when faced with the trickiest of recipient – the ‘one who has everything’. Step in the solution - a Piece of Mallorca.
For fifty quid you could ‘name’ a star or a ‘buy’ an acre of the moon and think yourself clever for coming up with an original gift. The problem is that the Outer Space Treaty (1967) is very clear on the fact that space and celestial bodies cannot be appropriated. And, the only institution authorised to name stars is the International Astronomical Union. So basically you’re being duped into a very expensive piece of paper. Why not buy a real Piece of Mallorca instead?
The brainchild of long-time Mallorca aficionado, Christian Pielsticker, the concept is quite simple. It offers customers the chance to buy a tiny piece of land, an individually numbered stone to be precise, in a virgin countryside location peppered with hundred year old olive and almond trees between the towns of Felanitx and Campos. The buyer has a certificate proving their right to a piece of the land for 100 years, land which they’re free to visit at any time.
Many people dream of owning a postcard-perfect rustic stone finca in Mallorca. The Island has a mesmerizing power to evokes real emotions, people fall in love with the place – consider some-time residents composer Frédéric Chopin and painter Joan Miró, or their modern day counterparts Michael Douglas, Annie Lennox, Claudia Schiffer and Boris Becker. They’ve all fallen for Mallorca’s easy charm. Fincas these days are not so affordable, a Piece of Mallorca is. Maybe consider it to be a stepping stone (pardon the pun) to your own real estate on the Island.
A superb gift for yourself, friends, family or indeed for your clients, a Piece of Mallorca costs from 39 euros plus shipping. You receive a personalised certificate with your registration number – the same number engraved on your stone in that idyllic Mallorcan landscape. Subject to availability, clients can select a number of significance to themselves (between 1 and 1,000) – perhaps a birthday, wedding anniversary or some other unforgettable moment. Certificates can be placed in high quality wooden frames with a stone effect mount for 49 euros plus shipping.
The Pieces are sized around 3 x 4 cm and, together with your certificate, you will receive a detailed explanation of how to find your land once on the ground in Mallorca. Lovingly maintained, the stones circle wizened trees in neat polished rows. A Piece of Mallorca is a gift that lasts 100 years and one which will make future visits to the Island all that more special.
