Ridiculously Luxurious Christmas Gifts
Posted by VickyC on December 12th, 2009
So I’ve come across a lot of crazily expensive things when writing my Boyfriend Christmas Gift and Girlfriend Christmas Gift articles. I thought I would share some of them with you.
These are gifts for when the recipient already owns everything and when money is no object
Skybar Wine System WP1000 – $999.99
Imagine a drinks fountain made for your finest wines. It stores, chills and pours up to 3 bottles of wine and preserves them for up to 10 days. It’s great if you need a new topic of conversation for a wine and cheese night. It’s pretty cool! And actually the parts for it aren’t like $200 each; everything is less than $50 – except replacement glass panels which are only $70. If I was loaded, this would be on my Christmas list.. Along with some wine and cheese!
Platinum & Diamond iPhone 3GS – ~$40,000
Need to call your friends to invite them to your wine & cheese event featuring your brand spanking new Skybar? Then why not use your platinum and diamond iPhone 3GS? No, it’s not a case, the original body of the iPhone is recreated in platinum and the apple logo is made of 56 VVS1 diamonds. On the diamond scale of perfection, VVS1 (very very slightly imperfect) is third in line behind IF (internally flawless) and FL (flawless). There is also the girl version which comes in Rose Gold with pink diamonds, which will set you back around $36,000. And finally, you can purchase the worlds most expensive iPod Touch to go with your iPhone for just over $250,000. Check out more creations at stuarthughes.com
Underwood Biometric Trolley Case – $11,000
Travel in James Bond style with this biometric trolley case. Using fingerprint recognition, your documents and belongings will travel in maximum security – and maximum style as the cases are made with the finest Italian leather.
The Ultima Nine Watch Winder Cabinet – ~$2,500
A beautiful case for automatic watches. This cabinet can store up to 15 watches. It is a beautiful case made of walnut wood, that is perfect for the most serious of watch collectors. Check out some of the other products on Rapport London’s site. The carbon fibre ones are beautiful.
String Cashnetta – $180
The brand of this yarn is called String – doesn’t sound very impressive right, but it is sold in a high end New York boutique. It looks cheap compared to the rest of my list, right? WRONG. This is WOOL.. Granted, it is 100% cashmere wool, but still! $180 per ball!? And here I was thinking that knitting was the economical thing to do… Maybe a nice pair of platinum knitting needles with diamonds at the ends would compliment this wool nicely! The price of this stuff makes a cashmere sweater in a store look cheap!
Alright, I think that’s enough luxury for this post. Have you seen any other ridiculously expensive things? Share them with us in the comments section below!
