Top 10 Most Expensive Gifts for Valentine's Day

Roger G
It's anticipated that over $15 billion will be spent on Valentine's Day. According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), Americans will spend an average of $122 to show that special somebody just how much they're loved. This may seem like a lot, but pales in comparison to what some are ready to shell out in the name of love.

Each year, the J.M. Trippon & Co. releases a list of the most expensive Valentine's Day gifts. This is their compilation from 2008. Will those showering loved ones with gifts be equally as generous in 2009?

$6,400,000 Harry Winston Pink Diamond Ring

$1,500,000 Lake Forest Confections Le Chocolat (per box-yellow or blue diamonds)

$ 261,000 Chanel Diamond Forever Classic Bag

$ 225,000 Tequila Ley .925 gold and platinum Passion Azteca Liquor (one bottle)

$ 215,000 Clive Christian 5-Carat diamond Imperial Majesty perfume (one bottle)

$ 125,000 Maserati GranTurismo (starting price)

$ 62,000 Guerlain KissKiss Gold & Diamond 2.2-Carat Lipstick

$ 3,230 Sabbia Rosa cashmere and silk robe

$ 2,685 Manolo Blahnik Aligator Halter shoes

$ 475 24-Carat Gold Facial at Eldorado Hotel and Spa

And most pricing did include complementary gift wrapping.

Somehow, that small box of candy just doesn't seem to look good enough anymore. But it's not the price that counts, it's the thought - right?
