A $12,000 Swarovski-encrusted train set, a $6,000 singing polar bear, and a $3,000 chess set: The 10 Most Ridiculously Luxurious Christmas Gifts for Little Princes and Princesses from FAO Schwartz, Bergdorf’s and Saks
Most children would be happy to receive a new toy, a bike or a simple game on Christmas morning.
But when it comes to satisfying the spoiled offspring of Manhattan’s elite, only the best is good enough.
That’s where Saks, FAO Schwartz, and Bergdorf Goodman — and their incredibly expensive gift list — come in.
Top of the list? A $12,000 Swarovski encrusted train set at Saks. For a more modest $6,000, parents can treat their little ones to a life-size, singing polar bear from Bergdorf.
At toy mecca FAO Schwartz, a $5,000 jeweled nutcracker tops the list, along with a $1,200 teddy bear.
Read and cry the rest of the list – and spare a thought for the indulgent parents who might be crazy enough to give in!
