Top Ten Gifts for the Pampered Child: What to Buy When Money is No Object

Wondering what to get the kid who has everything? Do you have an unlimited budget and a child with really high expectations? It's not as hard as it might seem to find an impressive gift your child will love. The only problem will be trying to top yourself next year.

1. Tiffany Meadows Bone China Plate, Porringer and Cup $125
Bunnies and butterflies surround the edge these darling children's pieces. Your child will be delighted with her very own fine Tiffany china and I'm certain, will never fling the porringer filled with Cheerios onto the floor.

2. Swanky Blankie Cowboy Sleeping Bag from Neiman Marcus for $210
At first glance, this darling sleeping bag seems like a regular kid's sleeping bag. However, upon further investigation, I see that the bag is made of 100% polyester with soft polyfill. If you're still wondering how this bag differs from the $12.99 Sponge Bob sleeping bag from K-mart, unlike the K-mart version, each Swanky Blankie comes with "free" monogramming. Sleep Tight!

3. Tiffany Buzz Buzz silver fork and spoon set $250, with engraving for $8
Make sure your baby is born with a silver spoon…and fork! Tiffany's little silver fork and spoon set have a little bee flying into his hive on the spoon, and a little bee flying into a flower on the fork. These utensils are perfectly shaped for little hands learning to self feed.

4. Princess Vanity $275 at Neiman Marcus
Perfect for your little princess's pampering time, this darling pink and white striped skirted vanity has a lighted heart shaped mylar mirror (batteries not included) and a matching stool (up to 100 pounds).

5. Classic Child's Vespa from Hammacher Schlemmer $329.95
This 12 volt battery operated Child's Vespa is licensed by the creators of the original Vespa and will take your child over sidewalks or grass at a nice 2 and a half or 5 mile an hour clip. The headlight works for nighttime touring (not recommended by me or the manufacturer) and electronic engine sounds add to the realistic feel of this icon of post WWII Italy.

6. Superior Adjustable Tricycle from Hammacher Schlemmer $399.95
This Kettler Tricycle has been described as the "Porsche" of tricycles. Several features that might just justify the price tag are the ability to transform the trike into a tandem ride and the front wheel's 90 degree turning radius, for safety. Of course it comes with a push bar for parents to take control on the steep hills as well as a little storage bucket for carrying small toys or additions to a rock collection.

7. Steiff Teddy Bear, Horace the Longfellow Bear, reproduction of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Daughter's Steiff teddy bear $460
This exact reproduction is accurate right down to the velvet covered paws that little Pricilla Longfellow's nanny patched using an old cape. The original Horace was a well traveled bear, rubbing shoulders with many famous people, including Teddy Roosevelt. Only 1,500 of these bears have been created and a few small, removable parts make this gift perfect for a child 6 years and over.

8. 300 Piece Premium Maple Block intermediate block set $567.72 from Barclay Blocks
These premium hardwood maple blocks will resist denting and take years and years of building up and falling down. Unit building blocks are the ultimate in creative toys and may just be the inspiration for a future architect. These blocks will take all the abuse your kids can dole out, then store well in the attic for 20 years until they can be passed down to your grandkids.

9. Make Your House a dollhouse for $10,000 at FAO Schwartz
This is dollhouse is a scale model of your own home and will certainly be a gift your little one will to treasure for years and years. The purchase of this toy starts with a visit from designers who will meticulously take note of every detail of your home's exterior and interior. No detail is too small, including wallpaper and paint, curtain and upholstery fabric, and even furniture design. Allow 24 weeks for delivery and you too can preserve your home for generations to come.

10. Cotton Candy Manor play house for $11,500 at FAO Schwartz
If your child needs to spend more time outside, but just doesn't like that "outside feeling", bring the indoors outside with this darling, two story, pink play house. Your child will enjoy relaxing on the upstairs porch or playing jacks on the simulated hardwood floor. A working doorbell will announce when their play dates arrive.

Shopping for the little prince or princess in your life doesn't have to be difficult. Many of these gifts will become heirlooms to be passed down for generations. With a little effort and a lot of money you can make your child's holiday unforgettable.
