World’s most extravagant Christmas gifts

If money was no object, what would you buy your loved ones this Christmas? And what would you want Santa to leave in your Christmas stocking if you could have anything in the world?

We’ve searched high and low to find you the world’s most extravagant Christmas presents - and there’s a (not so) little something for everyone.

For the girl who loves bling

We all know that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but what do you get a girl whose jewellery boxes are already bursting with sparklers? Well, how about a really, really big diamond?

Lucky for you, then, that Liz Taylor’s jewels are up for auction at Christies New York on 13 and 14 December - just in time for Christmas!

For the toy car geek

Collecting toy cars may not seem like a particularly extravagant hobby, but you’d be wrong. If money was no object we’d recommend you get your toy car geek is scaled model of the Lamborghini Aventador.

This scaled down model is decorated with platinum and gold and has diamond headlights and wheel-trims! It’s up for auction this December - starting price of a mere €3.5 million.

For the girl who likes to look her best

For the girl who always takes care of her appearance, nip down to the Urban Retreat at Harrods and book the World’s Most Expensive Blow Dry.

Using diamond and meteor dust (!) this treatment will give her a hair-do that’s out of this world. Included in the price are a bottle each of Truffle Shampoo and Conditioner. All for the bargain price of £320.

For the party animal

Is your loved one bored of receiving fine wine and vintage champagne at Christmas? Well never fear, luxury designer Leon Verres has come to the rescue with this extravagant tipple.

The 5 litres of fine Russian vodka have been repeatedly filtered through millions of pounds worth of diamonds. And the bottle itself is encrusted with 3,000 of the beauties. Named ‘Billionaire Vodka’, it will set you back just $37.7 million. Let’s party!

For the classic car lover

If your loved one is obsessed with classic cars, there are some real gems out there. We’re sorry to tell you that you’ve just missed out on this 1957 Ferrari Testa Rossa.

This car was the 250 Testa Rossa prototype, and in its heyday, competed in the Le Mans 24-hour race. It sold at auction in California for $16.4 million in August.

For the self-indulgent

Ok, so a bottle of perfume doesn’t sound like such an extravagant gift, but just wait. It takes a whole field of roses to make one teeny weeny 30ml bottle of Tribute Attar by Amouage. It also contains silver frankincense from the Dhofar mountains.

We are told that just a few drops of Tribute Attar lasts for hours. That’s good news, considering this tiny bottle costs £335.

For the adventurer

For the adventurer in your life - that loved one who always dreamed of being an astronaut - how about a trip on the Virgin Galactic? After 2 days of training, they’ll board a spacecraft and travel through the atmosphere at 3000mph - nearly 4 times the speed of sound.

Then they’ll experience weightlessness and view the earth as we’ll only ever get to see it on the TV, returning home in time for tea. What an experience for just $200,000!
