Top 5 Gifts You Can't Afford for Your Girlfriend

Henry Lamb
Like any occasion, including Valentines, anniversaries, etc., it's always customary to give a gift to your girlfriend or your wife. But have you ever thought of the gifts that she may like to have only you can't afford? Here is a list of gifts that your girlfriend may actually want to have but will never actually tell you about because she knows you can't afford it.

The 2007 Camry

This beast of luxury is as every bit safe as it is expensive. It boasts of Invex technology (meaning it can be used automatically or manually, interchangeably to suit the drivers needs) and its interior looks like it was designed by only the best in the industry. The hybrid runs on gas and on electricity with a combined 192 horsepower. Some of the standards include a JBL audio system with Bluetooth® capabilities, cruise control, 16-inch aluminum wheels, and automatic climate control heating as well as air conditioning. Standard Retail Price? A little over $18,000.

The Playstation 3

This gaming console has been in such demand that it has seen a customer shot, campers robbed of it, and an endless number of people fighting over who's going to buy it as soon as it hits the shelves. Now that it has hit the shelves, it seems not everybody can afford them, except for the hardcore gamers who have been waiting its arrival since last year. The makers of Playstation have pegged this possible gift at a little over $600. Small price to pay for a 60 gig model? We think not.

A Diamond Cocktail

So you want to impress your girl by popping the question? Good luck getting your hands on this cocktail. This drink includes a diamond ring set in 18-carrat white gold. The cheapest ring runs up to about $30,000 and is served in the drink of your choice! So expensive that the drink has to be escorted to diner's tables by waiters and security guards.

APO Jeans

Buy your girl a pair of jeans. You'll only need $4,000! That's right; these jeans cost just as much and can be more expensive depending on what you want to add. Want diamond buttons or platinum rivets? Or perhaps you would like them in yellow or white gold? These ladies jeans come with more than just a receipt too. They are sold with an Authenticity Certificate and an Appraisal Sheet. Think twice before throwing it in the laundry!

Essie Nail Polish

Saved up $250 for a nice gift? We dare you to spend it on nail polish! The nail polish is expensive because it contains platinum dust. It is the most expensive nail polish in the world. Also known as the "I Do" polish, it can be bought per bottle. Of course, if you want the original bottle it was displayed in, it may cost you $55,000. It seems to be a good price. But for nail polish? Now that's what we call love.

So the next time you try to get cheap on Valentines or on that special occasion, think of the things that your partner is aware of. After all, it can't cost that much to put a smile on her face.
