Pink carries the line Life's short, talk fast, which sums up the speed at which Lorelai and Rory talk. Cream shows the coffee cups from Luke's, brown the line Coffee please, and a shot of cynicism, and orange a scatter of yellow daisies as a quieter counterpoint to the three text designs. Four designs mean you can switch with your mood or your outfit, or split the set with a friend and keep two each.

The difference from an ordinary clamp is the no-crease hold: the clips secure your hair without pressing a line into it, so when you open them again your hair falls exactly as it did before. That makes them easy companions through the day: pin your hair back when it gets in the way, then carry on without redoing your hairstyle.

The set is made for Gilmore Girls fans among teenagers and adults who like to keep their hair under control and enjoy a nod to the series. The slogans only land if you know the show, which is what makes them a small insider joke.

As a gift it works for Christmas, a birthday or a Secret Santa exchange, and it is easy to bring along as a small present. The compact card also makes it a good filler for an Advent calendar.

Wear two clips symmetrically on both sides for a tidy look, or use just one at the side when a single section needs taming. The printed lines show best when the hair above does not cover them.

For gifting, leave the clips on the coffee-cup card: the Gilmore Girls lettering gives the theme away before anything is opened. If you would rather spread the set out, hand over the four designs separately, for instance as four small surprises in an Advent calendar.

How many hair clips are in the set? Four clips in four different designs, each with a silver-coloured metal clamp.

Do the clips leave creases in the hair? No, they give a creaseless hold and keep your hair in place without leaving dents or creases.

Which motifs are printed on them? Pink with Life's short, talk fast, cream with the Luke's coffee cups, brown with Coffee please, and a shot of cynicism, and orange with yellow daisies.

Who is the set made for? For Gilmore Girls fans among teenagers and adults who want to keep their hair out of their face.

How is the set packaged? The four clips sit on a coffee-cup-shaped card with the Gilmore Girls lettering, about 8.5 × 12 cm.
