Getting gift is all well and good but giving a great gift will give you bragging rights for years to come. If you have a loved one and copious amounts of money but have no idea what to give for the holidays, you've come to the right place. Here are the most superfluous presents for the most obnoxious film and television buff.
If the receiver loves The Prestige...
Here is an authentic canvas and leather straight jacket that Harry Houdini himself wore in 1915. Perfect for fans of all sorts of magic or the screenwriter looking for authentic inspiration for their Houdini biopic. Cost: Estimated $31,780 at Christie's Auction House.
If the receiver is a fan of Mommy Dearest...
You can now buy awards! Joan Crawford's Golden Globe that she received for her Oustanding Contributions to the Entertainment Industry in 1969. Estimated cost: $5000 at Doyle.
If the receiver is lazy...
Get them a home theater! The picture above is one of the world's most expensive home theaters. But just look! This set up is guaranteed to make sure the receiver will never, ever leave the couch. Plus, who doesn't want to watch Rataouille over and over again? Cost: $6Million
If the receiver is a fan of generally crappy movies (for ironic purposes, or so he/she says)..
Get the authentic Dolce & Gabbana dress from the smash hit Grown Ups. Salma Hayak and her fantastic rack filled out this dress (presumably, I didn't see the movie) when she was stooping to the lowest level of her career. Cost: $650 at Reel Clothes and Props.
If your receiver is a fan of Cleopatra...
Obviously you're going to want to check out Elizabeth Taylor's auction at Christie's. If you really want to impress your loved one, go ahead and make a bid on this piece by Andy Warhol that Taylor owned. Just think of the conversation piece it will be! Cost: $80,000 at Christie's.
So go out there and get shopping!
