Magpie Effect

Name: Magpie Effect Mug
Brand: Urban Dictionary
Price: 32.95 USD
Availability: InStock

An overwhelming urge to purchase an item of no practical value and/or out of once price range purely based on its appearance.
Usually the item in question is either glittery or catching the light causing the victim to become entranced by said item.

At the risk of sounding sexist it primarily affects women where shoes are concerned and men in car show rooms.

“I know I can’t walk in heals, let alone 6 inch ones but they looked so pretty glistening away in the shop window, I succumbed to the magpie effect instantaneously.”
