Barney'sPrada’s $185 paper clip
Why spend five bucks at Staples for a box of 50 paper clips when you could spend $185 for a single special, designer paperclip? Italian fashion label Prada is selling a 6.25 centimeter by 6.25 centimeter sterling silver paper clip for $185 -- that's $13 per square centimeter. Don't worry, people will know how special the paper clip is since the "Prada" logo is embossed on one side.
Joseph's ToiletriesA $100 per month toilet paper subscription
Rather than spend $10 on a 10-pack of Charmin' toilet paper, you can pay $100 a month for this household necessity. Zurich-based Joseph's Toiletries offers a monthly toilet paper subscription, which not only comes with six plush rolls but also four "gentle cleansing" and one "balancing care" products.
HermesHermes $370 bookmark
Because a Post-It Note won't do, Hermes offers customers a $370 bookmark. Of course, it's not just any old bookmark, this one is magnetic, made of calfskin and comes in a variety of colors so it's extra special.
ZontikLeather gold and silver monopoly set
Here's the perfect gift for any family: a gold and silver monopoly set.

eBaySupreme’s red clay brick
Thought a Prada paper clip or Hermes bookmark was ridiculous? Here's one that blows those out of the water: Supreme's red clay brick. Last year, for its fall/winter 2016 collection, the famous designer streetwear company sold red clay bricks with the "Supreme" logo for $30 on its website. However, the item sold out quickly. It can now be purchased for $1,000 on eBay. Whether it's a door stopper or what -- we're not sure.

Know any pasta and fashion lovers? Here's the perfect gift for them: Dolce and Gabbana recently unveiled it was making a limited number of specialty pastas, which costs $110 a pop.

Another household product that everyone should have is a fire extinguisher. However, this isn't any old fire extinguisher.

While they aren't necessarily straight from the source itself, Darden offers hand-painted Chanel and Dom Perignon fire extinguishers.
Yellow Submarine
Hat tip to the fine folks at Goop for bringing this to our attention. This gift is perfect for the adventurous ocean lover in your life. But to find out how much it actually costs, you have to get in touch with The Yacht Company, the business that made the vessel. It seats four to five people and can go to depths of 525 feet for up to eight hours.
Private Island
This would be for those who have aspirations to live Richard Branson's Necker Island lifestyle. This private island in Belize could be yours for a cool $6 million. Eight beds, seven bathrooms and 4 acres of land at $512 per square foot is less per foot than many New York City apartments. Some, may think it is a steal.
Seinheiser’s $55,000 Orpheus headphones
For the music fan that's all about high fidelity sound, might we suggest Seinheiser's $55,000 Orpheus Headphones. The amplifier sits on a stand made of glass and solid Carrara marble. That kind of tells you all you need to know.
