Jay Strongwater 25th Anniversary Soaring Eagle Figurine: $10,000

Why is a soaring eagle figurine worth $10,000, you may ask? If you look closely, you’ll find out — it’s coated in 14-karat matte gold and handset with Swarovski crystals.

Boucheron Nuri, the Parrot Ring: $48,100

If you have a loved one who adores parrots AND fine jewelry, this parrot ring just may be the perfect gift. The 18-karat white gold ring is set with a pear-cut, 5.5-carat aquamarine, 38 diamonds, 124 blue and yellow sapphires and 56 tsavorites.

Maurizio Casini Large Leather Sitting Ball: $1,995

Is it decor? Is it furniture? Friends, it is both. According to its description, this “sitting ball” is the “only sitting ball coated in high quality, full-grain leather.” The leather is hand-sewed by skilled tailors, and the ball can hold up to 140 kilograms (308 pounds).

Assouline 'Impossible Collection of Golf': $995

Why spend your money actually playing golf when you can spend $995 to look at pictures of golf courses across the globe via Assouline’s “Impossible Collection of Golf”? The book features 100 of the world’s most exclusive courses over its 200 pages.

Brioni Men's Embroidered Floral Dinner Jacket: $10,000

Even the man who has everything probably does not have this $10,000 silk dinner jacket hanging in his closet. The jacket is handcrafted using a traditional Venetian artisanal technique and features Renaissance motifs.

Christofle 24-Piece Mood Silver-Plated Flatware Service: $1,490

If you’re looking for a hostess gift with a luxurious flair, consider this 24-piece flatware set. The set comes encased in a stainless steel storage capsule made with a resin insert, and the flatware is silver-plated (and dishwasher safe)!

Versace Baroque Skateboard: $795

This Neiman Marcus exclusive gift needs no explanation — or at least, none is given. The item description simply notes that it is a “Versace skateboard” and that it is made of wood.

Moncler Fur-Trimmed Hooded Quilted Puffer Jacket, Size 12M-3: $600

Nothing says “I have money to blow” quite like a $600 jacket that a baby or toddler will surely grow out of after a single season. However, they’re sure to be warm while it fits — the jacket contains a 90/10 down/feather fill.

MacKenzie-Childs Happy Holidays Tabletop Tree: $595

It’s true that you can get a full-sized tree for much less than $600, but it might not be as cute as this tabletop decorative item made from faux greens, pine cones, poly ribbon and resin.

Neiman Marcus Glace Apricots: $88

When the dried fruit at your local grocery store just won’t do, consider this box of Neiman Marcus-brand glazed apricots. The gift box contains approximately 30 plump apricot pieces that have been partially sun-dried, then dipped in a light sugary glaze.
