This holiday season has produced some of the most over-the-top, truly unforgettable gifts on offer—the priceless chocolates, the top-of-the-line tech, and downright ridiculous toys. From Drake-approved winter apparel to a personal motorized submarine, this is a collection of celebrity-approved, fantastical gifts. They’re not for the faint of heart (or wallet), but if you want to dream big this holiday season, here’s a good place to start.
Still at a loss for what to get the person who has everything, all while sticking to your budget? Then this is probably not the list for you, but you might find something in one of our curated gift guides here.
The $1,000 box of chocolates
Handmade by chef Gabriel Kreuther’s fine chocolatier and infused with top-of-the-line Patrón tequilas, this is one box of chocolates that you won’t want to share (or let sit for too long). It’s steep at $1,000, but you do get 24 chocolates per box in six different flavors (working out to a little more than $40 per bar), and only about 100 boxes were made. If you’re fortunate enough to give or get this, the extra-fancy candy should keep even the sweetest tooth—and margarita connoisseur—busy all through the January blues.
The fanciest tech toy around
For the tech-savvy early-adopter, the HTC Vive Virtual Reality headset is the top-of-the-line unit in what’s quickly becoming a crowded field. Accordingly, it doesn’t come cheap at about $800—but with the rapid expansion of VR programming, you can bet that this will be a toy that won’t be discarded the week after Christmas.
The Gwyneth-Paltrow-approved yurt
In her “Ridiculous, but Awesome” gift guide for the year, lifestyle maven Gwyneth Paltrow doesn’t disappoint, recommending objects like this $8,300 luxury yurt. Yes, a yurt: because sometimes, a tent just doesn’t cut it for optimal glamping. This one is 20 feet in diameter, made by a company called “Groovy Yurts,” and is fully customizable with further windows, doors, and design details. It looks luxe, but this one functions in tough conditions.
“His” and “hers” golf carts
The annual fantasy holiday gift guide from Neiman Marcus never fails to deliver on over-the-top items. For instance, how about a pair of his-and-hers “Island cars” with Lilly Pullitzer-patterned upholstery and Bose sound systems. Yes, they’re Barbie-style golf carts, but as Neiman Marcus puts it, they’re also perfect for taking onto a yacht. At $65,000 a pop, this is the right gift for that person who really doesn’t want or need an actual sports car.
The role in a Broadway musical
For the more dramatically-inclined, appearing onstage in a Broadway musical could be a dream come true. And for the right price, that’s one dream you can actually deliver. Again, Neiman Marcus is coming through with a $30,000 walk-on role in “Waitress,” a popular new musical with songs by Sara Bareilles. Money may not buy happiness, but it apparently can buy you stardom, if only for a minute.
The electric corkscrew with added features
Offer the wine connoisseurs in your life the hassle-free option of an electric corkscrew—with a digital display that lets them know how many more bottles they can consume without having to recharge the tool. This one comes courtesy of the Williams-Sonoma catalogue. While some might say that its uses are limited (can’t you just use a regular corkscrew, after all?), we’ve all been there when cork disasters strike. Give someone on your list the priceless gift of never having to worry about flawless bottle-opening again, for $100.
The new hoverboard in town
Gwyneth Paltrow calls it “this year’s hoverboard.” Who are we to defy her wisdom? The “OneWheel Ultracharger” may look a bit like a mobilized see-saw, but it certainly would be a novel item to find under the tree. Accident insurance is, presumably, not included on this $1,499 tech toy for the lucky kids this season.
The winter coat designed by Drake
Drake, proud Canadian and cold-weather regular, is often seen in his signature puffy down-filled parkas. So it only makes sense that the rapper and the hip parka producer Canada Goose have teamed up once again for an outerwear collaboration, just in time for inclement weather. The bomber-style puffer jacket will run $1,195, according to GQ, which is $450 more than the regular, non-Drake-affiliated version of the exact same jacket. But those don’t come with the OVO stamp of approval.
The personal luxury submarine
Sports cars are de rigeuer. Yachts are so passé. Private jets? Run of the mill. For the real automobile shock-and-awe, consider a personal luxury… submarine. Not for the faint of heart, Triton Submarines are customizable submersibles that offer passengers access to the depths of the ocean, down to a mile below the surface. Plus, showing up to a yacht party in one of these would definitely create a stir. And it would create a dent in your bank account: these bad boys run up to $5.5 million a pop. On the flip side, priceless James Bond status would be officially achieved.
