Call them absurd, call them over-the-top, call them unobtainable. The items on this list are all of these things, but they also share another thread: They’re all awesome. The best tech gifts and gadgets under $200 might make a more practical read, but the gifts making up this list are all things you wish you could get, but probably won’t. It’s certainly fun to dream for “some day,” though, isn’t it?
The epitome of automotive excellence in both luxury and performance, the Bugatti Veyron (named after Pierre Veyron who won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1939) is probably more beast than machine, and stands as a true hallmark in automotive engineering. All of the numbers attached to the Veyron are simply staggering: a top speed of 266 mph, over 1,000 horsepower, and probably most astounding, a $2 million sticker price.
Anything but your standard razor, the Zafirro Iridium razor is comprised of pure sapphire blades that are impervious to oxidation and corrosion. According to Zafirro, the blades remain incredibly sharp by using high-energy ionized particles, creating a blade edge that is 5,000 times thinner than human hair. The company even offers a 20-year warranty to make sure your razor stays on the cutting edge of performance – and for $100,000, we think they should.
Trips always make great gifts, and no other trip will be as unique as spending a week vacationing under the ocean at the Poseidon Undersea Resort. The world’s first seafloor resort where you can spend the night 40 feet underwater offers guests a week-long experience where they can enjoy two nights underwater, and four nights on spectacular beachfront over-water bungalows. Rates start at $30,000 per couple, per week and include a wide array of luxurious amenities like learning to pilot a mini-sub, scuba diving, gourmet meals, and many others.
For many, Earth, not space is the final frontier.The vast majority of us will likely never leave our little green rock we call home, travel to the moon, or other far off planets. However, there is hope for those would-be adventurers seeking an out-of-this world experience. Those lucky few with big dreams (and bigger pockets) have a chance to make their dream reality and hop aboard Virgin Galactic’s space flights. Tickets cost $200,000 and require a $20,000 deposit.
If you look close (and yes, you have to look close to see it), that is an iPhone docked atop the massive, and we do mean massive, Behringer iNuke Boom. Costing a whopping $30,000, pumping out 10,000 watts, and weighing over 700 pounds, we doubt Santa will be able to carry this on his sleigh, let alone get it through the chimney.
If you’re looking to give a luxurious gift this holiday season with a bit of bite, you could a lot worse than the Confederate Motors X132 Hellcat. This dynamically crafted motorcycle is as powerful as it is stylish, featuring carbon fiber wheels, billet aluminum case, and a Copperhead fuel injected V-Twin pumping out 132 horsepower. The X132 starts at $45,000 and tops out at $49,500 with added features.
In the market for a new home this holiday season? Why not take it to the next level and gift this luxurious villa overlooking the Adaman Sea? The spacious Kamala Headland Villa is located in Phuket, Thailand and measures over 1,597 square meters. It includes elegant water structures, a cinema room, and a number of swimming pools scattered throughout the property. It offers unprecedented luxury and sweeping vistas for those willing to pay the $5 million asking price.
Sure, you could gift a pair of Beats by Dre Headphones, but they wouldn’t really stand out in the crowd. If you’re looking for something a little more special — then think about dropping some cash (£1489 to be precise), for these gold-plated DrDre Beats Studio Headphones from Crystal Rocked.
If money is truly of no concern and you really, really, love the person you’re gifting this seafaring behemoth to, then rejoice, for your search is over! Built to be the very epitome of luxury and exclusivity, The Streets of Monaco Yacht is the grandest gift, both in size and cost, that you could possibly give this holiday season. Priced at an astronomical $1.1 billion, the Streets of Monaco Yacht is exactly what it sounds like: a large luxury yacht that encompasses 4,800 square feet and was designed to resemble the famous millionaire’s playground. It even features scaled-down versions of the famous Monte Carlo Casino, Hotel de Paris, Café de Paris, and a go-cart track inspired by the Monaco Grand Prix.
Looking for that perfect camera for the budding photographer? Forget about those 8-, 10-, or even 12-megapixel cameras, the $50,000 Phase One IQ180 Digital Camera boasts an astounding 80 megapixels for the ultimate in image quality. It features a 3.2-inch touch screen display with 1.15-megapixel resolution for browsing all those crystal clear images they’re bound to capture.
For a luxurious gift that both adult and kid speed demons can appreciate, check out the Traxxas X0-1 RC car. This speedy RC, priced at a reasonable (for this list anyways) $1,100, can rocket from zero to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds and zero to 100 mph in a blazing fast 4.92 seconds. It doesn’t go on sale until December 30, but if you take a picture and place it under the tree it should work just as nicely.

These Linkind smart bulbs are 37% off, and have one of the best apps I’ve used
I know some people think that a lot of smart home tech is frivolous, and some of it is, I'll agree, but there are certain things that make daily life a little better. For example, I have security cameras, a video doorbell, smart lights, a smart garage door, and all of these things make living in my home convenient. With my lights, for example, I can create on-off schedules and I don't have to get up to use them. After a long day, that's a welcome feature, believe me. It's especially helpful with Christmas lights and decorative lights -- like the ones I have set up to automatically turn on at sunset on my patio.
With a smart video doorbell, I can answer my door, converse with parcel delivery teams, and shoo off solicitors -- we get a lot of them where I live. But among all of those experiences and devices, one of my biggest qualms is with the apps you use to interact with this tech.
This smart display alternative can now use AI to plan all your meals
Skylight is a smart home company that produces a variety of smart display alternatives, such as the Skylight Cal Max. These serve as a central hub for all your daily planning -- they’re primarily used as a digital calendar, but you can also use them to track chores, make lists, or meal prep. That last aspect just became much more exciting, as Skylight is officially introducing Sidekick, an AI-powered assistant that can plan all your meals in just a few minutes.
Sidekick is a new AI feature for Skylight devices. It’s capable of generating personalized recipes based on your budget, family size, and dietary restrictions, and it’ll even create a shopping list and load up step-by-step cooking instructions. Skylight hopes the new feature will save families 10 hours every month, as they’ll no longer need to worry about the logistics surrounding meal prep.
