The Ultimate Money-No-Object Christmas Gift Guide

Perhaps you’re just killing time with vintage B.H. content. Perhaps you’re genuinely a deep-pocketed operator in search of inspiration. Or perhaps you’re in the persuadable (and financially comfortable) space somewhere between. Whatever the case, we’ve pretty much spent an entire year assembling what is hopefully the greatest list of money-no-object Christmas gifts ever curated.

These are the fantasy-calibre ideas for those who appreciate the finest things in life, probably own everything else there is to buy, and almost certainly mean far more to you than a mere dollar figure could ever rationalise. But that being said, there may be the odd pick which ordinary punters (like the vast majority of us) could feasibly pull off come December 26th.

Merry Christmas!

For the leisurely individual keen on sharpening themself for social sport, the only question you’ll have to ask is: tennis or golf?

Answering the former leads you to the Aceii One: The Carry-On Tennis Partner (US$999) – essentially a next-gen ball machine powered by AI, designed to replicate the feel of hitting with an actual person thanks to real-time shot tracking.

Answering the latter leads you to the Garmin Approach R50 Golf Launch Monitor & Simulator ($8,499) – touted as one of the first-ever portable launch monitors and golf simulator hybrids, with over 15 precision metrics that measure everything from ball speed to the swing angle.

There are, of course, alternative avenues to get the heart pumping outside of golfing and tennis practice.

If they prefer to get up and at ’em in complete solitude, we suggest the Zwift Ride Smart Bike ($2,299.95) – an all-in-one indoor cycling setup that delivers real ride feel, as well as customisable virtual gear shifting; Form Smart Swim 2 Pro ($529) – goggles flaunting an augmented reality display that tracks time, distance, stroke count, heart rate, and even a digital compass for open-water sessions; and if these are still skimming the surface, feast your eyes on the Lamborghini x Cayago’s SE64 Seabob (starting from US$10,000) – an 8.4-horsepower underwater scooter.

The certifiable step above the Seabob? The Yamaha CrossWave WaveRunner (TBA).

This dude-coded innovation of all dude-coded innovations is precisely what it looks like: a 13-foot by five-foot hybrid of a jet ski and tinny with a generous walk-around marine-matted deck – capable of carrying up to four passengers with removable third and fourth seats.

Promising unprecedented size, versatility, and range, as well as the largest fuel capacity in its class, the Yamaha CrossWave WaveRunner is essentially a ticket to escape from all the everyday BS and into the loving embrace of aquatic fun. Rod storage compartment, eight-inch footwell speakers, and all.

For those who are more about exploration than raising the old BPM – specifically, roaming the countryside in fairly aristocratic fashion – you cannot go wrong with the Holland & Holland Edition by Overfinch (from $650,000).

This luxurious marriage between a revered 190-year-old London gunmaker and the undisputed maestros of bespoke Range Rovers draws inspiration from Holland & Holland’s flagship ‘Royal’ Side by Side shotgun, and even comes with a Handcrafted Companion Chest.

A pair of impossibly ornate shotguns aside, there’s tailored storage for two bottles of champagne, as well as a full suite of countryside dining/picnic accoutrements: crystal flutes for eight, staghorn-handled corkscrew, silver bottle stoppers, fine crockery, monogrammed napkins, and a complete cutlery set (essentially a mobile dining cart).

The full-frame Leica Q3 Monochrom ($7,790) with its special black-and-white sensor wouldn’t exactly look out of place, either, during these lowkey sojourns. Distilling photography to its purest form, where composition is shaped solely by light and shadow, it’ll capture the only images better than a fond memory.

Our gun-free and noticeably pricier prescription for the auto-loving pacifist is a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing (from US$2.8 million). Our purely ornamental variation with legit championship pedigree is one of only 10 official Oracle Red Bull Racing 2023 RB19 show cars (Price On Request). And our halfway point you can physically drive – just not legally due to road laws – is an official functioning replica of the Nolan-verse Tumbler Batmobile produced by Action Vehicle Engineering ($4.6 million).

If it’s international exploration they crave, rest assured, we have options.

For the conventionally experiential, Orient Express has recently launched two bucket-list itineraries aboard the sumptuous 12-carriage La Dolce Vita train that takes guests on a tour of Italy’s most elite golf courses: the “Northern Greens” (from €12,360 per passenger) and “Italian Swing” (from €14,160 per passenger) packages.

Expect gourmet dining curated by Michelin-starred chef Heinz Beck and, of course, an impeccably furnished train. With 12 deluxe cabins, 18 suites, as well as the crème de la crème La Dolce Vita Suite, they’re accompanied by a lavish dining car plus quite the glamorous bar for guests to kick back and drink in the refreshing scenery.

For an outpost like no other to enjoy a moment of solitude, make them a part-owner of the spectacular NOT A HOTEL Rusutsu ski villa (from US$500,000 to US$8 million) in Hokkaidō, Japan.

Against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Yotei, and perched at the powder-capped summit of Rusutsu Resort, this 1,200-square metre sanctuary meticulously designed by the team from Norwegian architectural firm Snøhetta is built around a central open-air courtyard.

Notable amenities range from the obligatory wellness centre with a Technogym-equipped workout studio, sauna/cold plunge, and indoor/outdoor baths; to a cave-like meditation bath carved into stone for “stillness and reflection” along with an open-air infinity pool overlooking the mountain ranges. It’s scheduled to open in 2029, just 90 minutes from Sapporo’s New Chitose Airport.

On the subject of elegant design, and taking things back to native soil, there’s practically something for every notable room within what is no doubt a tasteful abode: any/all pieces featured in the flexworthy Porsche x Smeg Collection (from $499) – from limited-edition fridges and toasters to blenders and kettles – as well as an enviable Specht Design Bespoke Espresso Machine (Price On Request), will definitely be welcome additions to the kitchen.

Depending on where they keep the good stuff, this might also be where you’ll find a home for the effortlessly cool RIMOWA x ROBBE & BERKING Cocktail Case Set ($8,975) in its anodised aluminium glory. In a similar vein, whether it’s in a dedicated cellar or an appropriate corner in the kitchen, you’ll want to find the right place for an exceptional bottle of Chateau Petrus 2018 ($15,000).

Moving onto the study, written musings will feel a touch more sophisticated with the Montblanc for Ferrari Collection (from $5,980). Uniting Maranello’s soul with the Montblanc artisan’s deft hand, it almost feels as good as driving an actual Prancing Horse – available as both a rollerball and a fountain pen. For a flair of theatricality and intricacy, the Montegrappa Theory of Evolution Fountain Pen (€8,595) is nothing short of a handheld masterpiece.

If there’s any space on the walls, fill it with some artwork from Kiwi-born and Aussie-based artist Nick Herd ($4,800-$15,000).

The next step for the horology connoisseur who’s collected all those grail pieces is upgrading their existing storage solution to this Chronos Watch Safe (from $63,750).

Described as a “fortress of modern luxury” conceptualised specifically for protecting the irreplaceable, it’s constructed from military-grade ballistic armour plating with four-way titanium locking bolts, a proprietary interlocking door system, as well as biometric fingerprint access. Inside, there’s also a custom 30-winder Orbita system, encased in fire-resistant composite and wrapped in high-gloss carbon fibre, to ensure timepieces are running on time and ready to go whenever the occasion arises.

In terms of entertainment – whether it be a screening room, listening studio, or even the parlour/foyer – our top suggestions are crystal clear.

As the world’s first transparent OLED TV with true wireless audio and video transfer, the LG 77-Inch Signature OLED T TV ($75,000) seamlessly blends into the decor; while the Audio-Technica AT-LPA2 Turntable ($3,199) has been hailed as the “finest turntable Audio-Technica has ever developed” with the specific intention of minimising reverberations and distortions that would otherwise impact sound clarity.

For more opaque high-end audio gear, it has to be the Braun Wandanlage Stereo System by Dieter Rams (from US$35,000) – which we still haven’t been able to shake the image of, despite the months after it gained renewed cultural interest from being showcased on Apple TV’s Severance.

Designed in the 1960s by famed industrial mastermind Dieter Rams, the wall-mounted hi-fi unit comes equipped with a TG60 tape recorder, TS45 amplifier, L450 speakers, PCS 5 turntable, as well as vintage vitsoe e-tracks/shelving. Small wonder why Severance season 2 reportedly cost Apple around US$20 million per episode

For the operator who relishes any opportunity to tickle the ivories, look no further than a Steinway & Sons Spirio Piano (from $150,000).

Given that health is indeed wealth, why not help them turn back the biological clock?

Your giftee will likely already have their own home gym setup. But what they might not have is a stunning Technogym Kinesis Personal ($34,800), which resembles something closer to a statement piece than a machine to train countless functional movement patterns. The same goes for the design-driven Technogym Personal Tools (sets from $22,560) or the AI-powered Technogym dumbbells ($2,980).

Consider giving them the guarantee of a good night’s rest with the Eight Sleep Pod 4 Ultra Smart Bed ($6,299) – the very same used by Formula 1 drivers like seven-time world champion Sir Lewis Hamilton.

With clinical-grade sensors that collect 99% accurate sleep metrics, snore detection that automatically adjusts resting position should breathing be sub-optimally, localised temperature control for sections of the bed, and plenty more… it’s prime wish-list material.

Going beyond quality shuteye alone, we arrive at the matter of the Ammortal Chamber (US$160,000).

Equal parts brutalist design and sci-fi innovation, it combines photobiomodulation, pulsed electromagnetic frequency, molecular hydrogen, guided meditation, and vibroacoustic therapies – all revolutionary, proven, and crucially non-invasive – into a single effective treatment. Reported benefits range from hair regrowth to a 70% reduction in inflammation; along with 95% “full body relaxation,” 90% “energetic restoration,” and 85% “increased clarity.

As for an unparalleled artefact that embodies the idea of a life well lived, there’s always the latest edition of B.H. Magazine ($20).
