I like to end the Guide with something a little ridiculous. One year I had a Korean Ground-To-Air Missile Defense system, another year a decommissioned US nuclear submarine. This year I have something ridiculous that's slightly more affordable than those seven/eight figure items.
The other night I came across a service called Cameo in which you can pay celebrities to record videos for you. They are surprisingly affordable on the whole, but the bigger the star, the pricier it gets. That brings us to...
Wesley Snipes runs you a smooth $500, but he'll say your name!
From my brief browsing, though, you get way more bang for your buck with Michael Rapaport. He only charges $85 and the dude brings it every time. He has one where he's talking to a guy named Don Paint Fork who beat cancer and drops, like, 75 f-bombs in a minute.
Anyway, have fun going down the rabbit hole seeing which celebrities you can pay for videos. You'll lose your afternoon, I promise.
Next is something… not so pleasant…
Leave it to Etsy to make sure cinema nightmares don’t stay safely on the silver screen. Yes, that’s a handmade replica of the Poltergeist Clown Doll. It’s an amazing piece of art, meticulously detailed and obviously a labor of love from the artist and I would instantly fucking burn it if I saw it in my house. One side of the head is the happy clown, the other the “evil” face. I think the happy one is scarier.
So, you’ve got so much money you don’t know what to spend it on… how about your own authentic replica DeLorean tricked out in full time machine fashion? Well, Bob’s pro-shop can help you. To reiterate, you get a fully function DeLorean car with all the gear. The Mr. Fusion, the flux capacitor, everything. You can also get them to build you a functioning Ecto-Mobile, KITT, A-Team van and even the Blues Brothers car. Man, rich people get to have all the fun…
And that brings us to the end of the 2018 Holiday Gift Guide. Thanks you for reading and I hope to see you all again next year!
