It’s that time of year again! The 2016 GOOP Holiday Gift Guide has arrived, and it’s sure to spark a mix of amusement and disbelief. Each year, Gwyneth Paltrow curates a collection of extravagant gifts that leave most of us chuckling while simultaneously feeling a tad inadequate. This year, she’s dubbed the pricier items as “The Ridiculous Yet Awesome Gift Guide,” a clear nod to the stark wealth divide that often leaves the rest of us scratching our heads.
Let’s dive into some of the most eye-popping selections from this year’s lineup, shall we?
Leather Bike, $2,995
“Saddle up,” they say. Yes, that’s right—a bike crafted from leather that costs nearly $3,000. While you might not be able to afford it, GOOP doesn’t mind if you don’t quite get the pun behind it.
Sublimotion Dining Experience, Price Unknown
We attempted to reserve a spot to uncover the mystery of this dining experience, but it seems our IP address screamed “middle class.” Sublimotion isn’t even a real word, but it seems like an invitation to elevate one’s dining experience to the stratosphere—if only we knew what that cost!
Vintage Limoges Banana Box, $395
Oh dear, already sold out. Because who wouldn’t want to store their bananas in a vintage box that costs nearly $400?
Custom Pet Pendant, $6,850
For those wanting to immortalize their furry friends in jewelry, this customized necklace is the way to go. Or you could always opt to burn a pile of cash instead—your call.
Microsoft Hololens Development Kit, $3,000
This gadget is supposed to enable you to interact with holograms—whatever that means. If only we could afford to find out!
Groovyyurts Super Ger 20′ Yurt, $8,300
Why settle for a mere tent when you can have a luxurious yurt? Gwyneth claims, “Glamping doesn’t even begin to cover it.”
Toothpaste, $120
Good news: this is within our reach! Bad news? It’s just toothpaste. Gwyneth even pokes fun at herself by referencing last year’s fancy toothpaste squeezer, which now seems like a bargain.
Ah, Gwyneth, you never cease to entertain us with your extravagant taste and unique sense of humor.
