Expensive Gifts for Men - Gifts for the Super Rich

Are you looking for a special way of telling a man how much he means to you? He may be your dad whom you would like to thank for all that he has done for you. Or perhaps you would like to express your love for your husband or a boyfriend. Or it may even be a business associate you really want to impress. Whatever be the occasion, here are several expensive gift ideas for the really exclusive man in your life.

Men’s jewelry

You can rarely go wrong with expensive jewelry. Cuff-links, rings and bracelets in precious metals like platinum, white gold or silver are timeless favorites with men who like understated elegance. For those who like the limelight, you can go for rings with solitaire diamonds from Cartier or cuff-links studded with gemstones from Pianki. Tie-bars, money clips and key holders in gilded gold or rhodium-plate silver are other exclusive jewelry ideas that men would love to show off. The right jewelry can complete a man’s look. And it is also sexy – ask the women.

Luxury Leather items

Fine and handmade leather items are also coveted by many discriminating men. Belts, wallets, briefcases and boites make excellent gift items if they crafted from superior quality leather. Diaries, pen cases and organizers are other smaller products in the same genre.  Gift items from luxury brands like Pineider, Underwood London, Jack Georges as well as Caran d’Ache are not only handcrafted from the finest leather but come with exclusive fit and finish that separate the most luxurious from the merely good.

Luxury Watches

Luxury watches go much beyond the practical function of keeping time – they are in fact one of the most definitive expressions of a sophisticated lifestyle. Luxury watches come either in quartz or automatic movements. The former are ideal for the aristocratic look while the automatic ones can be both casual and dressy. TAG Heuer, Movado, Gucci and Omega are some of the most exclusive names in watches which conform to the craftsmanship as well as reliability expected in luxury watches.

Limited edition books

Men who have a discriminating eye for art would appreciate gifts marked by originality and distinction. For such people, art books, magazine subscriptions or limited-edition books make good gift ideas since they display the finest works in printing, photography and illustration. These items are much more than glossy coffee table books and comprise of the ultimate in terms of aesthetic quality and content.

Men’s accessories

Luxury accessories like sunglasses, gem-studded belt buckles and cigar lighters make attractive as well as exclusive gift ideas. Among these perhaps the most eye-catching – literally so –  would be shades which come in a range of materials, frames and embellishments. Some of these sunglasses have frames in exotic materials like animal skins and horns while some are ornamented with small diamonds, precious stones or Swarovski crystals. David Lean, Prada, Dolce&Gabbana are some of the brands which offer the most stunning and sophisticated creations in fashionable eyewear as well as luxury sunglasses.

Luxury Mobile Phones

Luxury mobile phones in gold, diamond and platinum are some of the most expensive gifts around. Cell phones from Stuart Hughes are created on order and may take between 7 to 28 days to manufacture. The range extends from $5690 for a diamond bordered Blackberry cell phone to a Diamond Nokia Royal cell phone which can set the buyer back by $47,850. The mobile phones on the higher end are made of precious metals like gold and platinum alloyed with other metals to give strength and durability. If you are looking to make the gift romantic, these cell phones also come in shades of rose and gold.

Collectibles

If you know the person’s interests quite well, maybe you can gift him something than he collects. If his tastes veer towards music, you could search for an original Stradivarius violin or if he is into ancient crafts how about Ming pottery? The catch here is that these items are limited in number and you would either have to have very wide resources or know an expert in the field to get your hands on the product. However if you looking for something which is expensive but not elusive, you could consider something like a chess set where the pieces are crafted from rare wood, crystal or precious stones like onyx.

Expensive wine

When you are thinking of something to give a connoisseur of spirits you are unlikely to go wrong with a good wine. The most expensive wines are those which come from old vineyards and which have aged well. There are also some limited-production wines which are the favorite with the rich and discriminating. Some of the most exclusive wines are the Chteau Le Pin Pomerol from Bordeaux, the Petrus Pomerol which was a favorite at the White House during the Kennedy years and Romane Conti which smells of spices, berries and leather. All these wines cost more than $1000 for a 750 ml. bottle.

Luxury vacations

Why not gift an experience to your man that he will never forget? Book him a vacation in a French chateau or a private beach resort in the Bahamas. On the other hand if your guy is a sucker for European sophistication, try out the uber-rich destinations of Monaco or Luxembourg. The best part of this gift idea is that you can accompany him as well and have an unforgettable time together.

Sports Cars

However if your pockets run really deep, drive in the ultimate present for a man. Choose from a list of fancy sport cars and you are sure to be on his best books for the rest of your life. The most expensive car in the world is of course the Bugatti Veyron at $1,700,000. But if this is slightly steep for you, look among the swankiest and fastest of the Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches that you can buy as a gift.

The sky is the limit!

As far as expensive gifts go, the sky is truly the limit since a flight brokered by Space Adventures to the International Space Station on a Soyuz spacecraft can be had for US$25-30 million. But the point is not simply to make an expensive gift but something that will also express affection, individuality and aesthetic discrimination as well. So go ahead and make your choice from the above list of exclusive gifts for men to make the recipient feel truly special.
