Well, that wonderful time of the year is fast approaching and I was going a bit nuts yesterday trying to find some incredibly unique gift to top the gaudy ostentation of last year's Solid Gold 1.5 metre Xmas Tree by jewellers Ginza Tanaka for only $850,000.00USD.
My search was proving fruitless until I cleverly thought, "hey, why not check what those planet loving guys at Ginza Tanaka are up to THIS YEAR." And guess what??? That's right! Behold, the Solid Gold Santa dude!! Sure the jolly guy from the North Pole looks like he fell into a barrel of molten yellow metal and was rescued before he evaporated but who cares! Here he is in all his glowy glory--- 20 kilos of pure gold with 23 diamonds embedded on a belt buckle totalling 1.7-carats. Santa is also packing a pack made of finely spun gold threads, filled with(what else?) 10 gold coins. He stands 41 cm high and costs $1,817,355.00USD. Yes, I know he is a little expensive and the US dollar has recently taken a beating so just get one Solid Gold Santa instead of two, okay. You must pre-order though because it apparently takes three months to pour Santa into a mould, set two dozen diamonds in his belt, and stick a spun gold sack of coins on him.
