{"product_id":"ping-pong-ornament","title":"Ping Pong Ornament","description":"\u003cp\u003eGood ping pong gifts are rarer than they ought to be, which is part of why this paddle earns its branch — a red rubber face on one side, pips on the reverse, and a small white ball caught mid-bounce just off the blade. The two faces are the detail that matters most: one smooth, one dimpled, painted as distinctly as the real rubber reads under a curious fingertip. Hand-blown glass suspends the ball a fixed distance from the paddle, a small trick that holds the whole gesture together. Reginald, a nephew whose basement setup has quietly become the entire reason cousins keep visiting, would set this exactly where he could point at it mid-argument. The Royal Ontario Museum holds rec-room objects because the games a household actually played, night after night, record ordinary life far better than the formal occasions do, and a paddle worn smooth on one edge tells that story cleanly. Worn honestly, it keeps that basement history intact for years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chive Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49552246571198,"sku":"ORN358","price":22.38,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0530\/9073\/files\/small_ornament_pingpong_-PS_1.png?v=1793698556","url":"https:\/\/chive.ca\/products\/ping-pong-ornament","provider":"Chive Plant Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
