Deluxe Monopoly

2007-06-28T11:35:00.000+01:00

While some of us are already satisfied with a special Lord of the Rings or Star Wars edition, the manufacturers of the well-known Monopoly game try their luck at selling a superdeluxe edition. The board itself is handmade, the dice are leather-bound and the infamous bank has gotten a leather coat. Available at Barney's NY, you must either be ridiculously rich or addicted to Monopoly to spend $4550 on the deluxe edition.

Cup Planter

2007-06-06T19:10:00.000+01:00

Looks can be deceiving, but this Cup Planter designed by the German Gitta Gschwendtner (how's that for an alliteration!), is anything but an optical illusion. It is designed to be filled with flowers or such at your liking, but for the caffeine addicts out there, it can also serve as an oversized coffee cup (though not recommended!). Suggested price is $338.

Inflatable Cloud

2007-06-02T21:24:00.001+01:00

What to some may look like a giant white onion, is in fact a an incredibly big inflatable meeting room. Designed by Monica Forster, the Cloud comes with a fan which inflates it within less than three minutes. Retailing at $4,999, an average camper's budget may not be sufficient, but it does take away the trouble of putting up a tent correctly...

I’m sure all the La Lohans and Hiltons of the world will adore it, but to be perfectly honest, last time I checked, I found HK to be quite disturbing:
