Super Luxury Gifts

Thursday, November 15, 2007provided by

If money is no object this holiday season, why not go big? From expensive watches to Jeeps for Junior and more, here are gift ideas to spoil the lucky men, women and kids in your life:

Bling for Him
Patek Philippe Grand Complications Collection 5136/1J
Price: $74,600
www.patek.com

Watches are to many men what cattle are to Texans: a good indication of their overall net worth. And wearing this Grand Complication in 18 karat yellow gold with a perpetual calendar with moon phases, day, date, month, leap year, and a.m./p.m. indication from Patek-Philippe, one of the world's oldest and most respected Swiss watchmakers, lets the world knows that one owns a lot of cattle -- or a lot of anything for that matter.

Bling for Her
Cartier Tankissime
Price: $41,700
www.cartier.com

Cartier has been providing well-heeled women with some of the world's most beautiful -- and expensive -- jewelry since it was founded in Paris in 1847. In fact, among certain income brackets the word "watch" and "Cartier" are practically interchangeable. One of Cartier's most popular lines is the Tank watch, here taken to perhaps its ultimate expression in 18 karat rose gold and crusted with diamonds. Guaranteed to be time -- and money -- well-spent.

Bling for Kids
Tiffany 1837 Silver Cup
Price: $295
www.tiffany.com

While some people might say that one is never too young to receive presents from Tiffany, kids don't really have much use for shiny baubles -- largely because they would probably either end up choking on a ruby or breaking a string of pearls -- but silver cups are a different matter. Bestowed by loving parents or godparents, this cup has the double advantage of being functional and durable, not to mention an excellent teething device.

Style for Him
New & Lingwood Blue Stripe 2 Fold 165's
Price: $312 (approx.)
www.newandlingwood.com

Few English clothiers can claim a more pedigreed roster of loyal clients than New & Lingwood. Founded in 1865 in Windsor, it became the unofficial outfitter to generations of Etonians -- who kitted themselves out there as boys and continue as patrons long after leaving England's most famous public school. This shirt, made from Egyptian cotton and dyed and woven in Switzerland, would make anyone look like a peer of the realm.

Style for Her
Manolo Blahnik Tappo
Price: $765
www.manoloblahnik.com

Carrie Bradshaw's favorite shoemaker has been a fashion darling since the 1970s, when the Spanish-born Blahnik opened his first shop in London. His name became iconic thanks to TV series Sex and the City, and his shoes continue to adorn the feet of the world's most beautiful and wealthiest women. Talk about well-heeled.

Style for Kids
Baby CZ Cashmere Tipped Double Breasted Hoodie Gift Set for Baby Girls
Price: $374
www.babycz.com

Cashmere for kids might seem a bit much, but remember little skin is tender and nothing keeps them warmer. Manhattan-based Baby CZ makes a range of elegant children's clothing that are perfect for birthday parties, family holidays, school, or just cuddling around the fire on a chilly night.

Drive for Him
Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
Price: $89,700*
www.porsche.com

Deep inside the breast of nearly man beats the heart of a Porsche driver. Some are lucky enough to actually know the thrill of driving a 911, but others can only dream. Unlike Ferraris and Lamborghinis, a Porsche is the perfect combination of performance and practicality. The Carrera 4S is considered by many to be the finest 911 on the market. Its tail-mounted 3.8-liter, 355-horsepower flat six engine can zip from 0 to 60 in 4.6 seconds, and its fat rear tires and adjustable suspension make it surprisingly easy to drive.
*Manual transmission

Drive for Her
BMW X5 3.0i
Price: $49,500

Marie Antoinette would have loved this car. On the one hand, its interior room and height make it perfect for picking up the kids or maneuvering through a snow bank. On the other, it has BMW's patented performance, which makes this midsize SUV a thrill to drive, even on the twistiest of roads. Talk about having your cake and eating it too.

Drive for Kids
1942 Willys MB Junior Replica
Price: $9,900
www.faoschwarz.com

Attention, grandparents -- this is what your grandchildren really want this year. Sure, a T-bond is practical, and a cowboy suit would be O.K., but what child wouldn't want their own Jeep from F.A.O. Schwarz to go bombing around in? Their moms and dads may feel that it's too indulgent or dangerous, but, come on, you're the grandparents. Go ahead and spoil the little darlings!

Gadget for Him
Pioneer PRO-150FD
Price: $7,500
www.pioneerelectronics.com

Want to know how to turn a normally active male into a drooling couch potato? Give him the Pioneer PRO-150FD 60" flat screen HDTV with over 2 million pixels and 1080p resolution (1920 x 1080p), the highest resolution available today. On second thought, maybe you shouldn't give it to him after all.
