Ridiculous Holiday Gifts: 15 Solid-Gold Gadgets
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}<b>iPad fit for a king</b> Made in England, this custom plated iPad is a bit on the pricey side: $24,000 dollars. But it’ll turn a few heads.
<b>Brick Phone</b> No list is complete without a solid gold brick phone. Fair warning: Good luck finding a signal with one of these—about as useful now as a rotary phone.
<b>iPhone Diamond Edition</b> Of course, all gold is a little tacky. For those who like to mix their precious metals with precious gemstones, this 3GS should fit the bill.
<b>GoldBox</b> If you play a lot of Xbox — and there are a lot of you — and happen to have a rich uncle, maybe you can talk him into buying you one of these.
<b>Golden Wii</b> This is an actual photo of what Princess Zelda games on. True story.
<b>Sparkling SLR</b> Analog SLRs were last seen in the early 2000s. But this retro Canon SLR can still turn heads.
<b>The perfect running accessory</b> Jogging with an iPod is a must. If you happen to jog down Rodeo Drive, it wouldn’t hurt to use this Shuffle.
<b>The Gold MacBook</b> If you're wealthy and you love portable Apple computers, have I got the gadget for you. Just prepare to break out your wallet.
<b>The wealthy QWERTY</b> Keyboards aren’t going anywhere. This 24K click pad from Asia is living proof.
<b>Luxury iPod</b> iPhones are slowly killing full-size iPods. But this signed one by Usain Bolt is alive and well.
<b>iPhone 4: Gold Edition</b> The lame thing about iPhones is that a lot of people are buying them. Now you can stand out while blinding oncoming traffic as you text and drive.
<b>Wall Street Copy Machine</b> This all-purpose photocopier is a must for any irresponsible, rich, or otherwise investment bank on the receiving end of corporate welfare.
<b>Controller/Headphone Combo</b> If you really want to make an impression the next time you play craps, make sure you wear one of these.
<b>Headphones of the rich and violent</b> If there’s a better way to celebrate both wealth and violence while listening to music, I wouldn’t know.
<b>Rich Man’s Kindle</b> The bad thing about books — for the rich anyway’s — is they are accessible to all. Not this.
