Upscale, High-End Gift Ideas

By Sherm Wilson


Have you ever wondered how different your life might be if money were no object? Think about all the things you'd like to do, the places you've dreamt of going, all the people you're likely to meet... Even more, how great would it be to just buy every cool toy that struck your fancy?

Unsurprisingly, people tend to do more of this daydreaming during the holidays, if for no other reason than the fact that their yuletide shopping activities bring them face-to-face with so many procuts that they'd love to have - but which would drain their bank accounts. But then again, that's why they call it dreaming.

That said, listed below are 3 upscale, high-end gifts that the typical man-on-the-street (i.e., me and you) will in all probability find to be economically out of reach:

Segway XT All Terrain: The Segway is almost universally hailed as a luxury gift product. Since its initial introduction several years ago, this self-balancing human transporter has been a novelty item of the rich and well-to-do. With the all-terrain model, you'll find that gravel, grass, sand and dirt (among other things) pose no obstacle to you. Of course, with a price tag of nigh $5000 (for a used model, mind you), this is no more than you'd expect - although cearly part of what you're buying is the mere prestige of owning a Segway.

Heatwave Santa Fe Sauna: There's nothing quite like being able to come home from a backbreaking day at the office and get into your own personal sauna, is there? What, you don't have one? Pity... This 3-person sauna comes fully loaded, including a CD player (with built-in speakers and mp3 connection), color treatment light, ergonomic back rests, oxygen ionizer and much more. And at roughly $1800 per, it's probably one of the more affordable luxury items in the marketplace.

Live Luggage Power-Assisted Suitcase: At one time or another, almost every one of us has had the thrill of racing through an airport at break-neck speed, dragging an uncooperative suitcase behind us. On the off chance that you didn't enjoy the experience, here's something that will make your next trip to the airport more palatable: the world's first power-assisted suitcase. It's anti-gravity handle, innovative flat motor technoloy innovation, sensors and intelligent manage systems (amongst other factors) make it an exceptional present; you'll see very few of these in the air or on the ground - especially with a sticker asking $1200 apiece.

Looking back, the 3 gifts mentioned genuinely could be nice ways to indulge your inner child. Furthermore, I probably misspoke earlier in stating that the average Joe is unlikely to be able to afford these things. To be honest, I'm pretty sure that he can; he just won't be able to buy anything else... Still, there's nothing wrong with daydreaming about things like this - and what you'd buy if money were no object. Needless to say, these three item make the list.
