My 5 days of Christmas Feature: Some of the most expensive Christmas gifts

With the big day only a week away the mad rush for last minute Christmas shopping is upon us. But with all the last minute deals and offers and the stress of trying to find the perfect present for a loved one, here is my list of the most expensive gifts available this christmas for those lucky enough to be immune from the credit crunch. 

When boyfriends or husbands look for underwear this Christmas one sure way to surprise their loved ones could be to wrap up Victoria Secret's maximum lift diamond-encrusted bra, worth a staggering £3 million! This expensive piece of lingerie is encrusted with nearly 3,900 precious gems, thousands of black diamonds, 117 one-carat round diamonds and 34 rubies. Despite this impressive array of jewels, it is beyond me why you would spend £3 million on any piece of clothing, let alone one that people don't even see under your clothes.

Which little boy does not wish for a new toy car from Santa? Well if any shopper wants to stretch beyond the classic hot wheels set from Argos then the Hot Wheels diamond encrusted miniature car is a possibility, but only if you could stretch to spending around £72,000 in auction! The toy car is encrusted with 18-carat white gold and decked out in more than 2,700 blue diamonds. But if I had spent that much money on a toy, I am not sure I would want anyone touching it, let alone playing with it!

My final expensive gift is for the men but this time the gift is not diamond encrusted (a theme of my last two gifts, because adding diamonds to the most ordinary of gifts seems to send the prize sky rocketing!) but it does include moon dust! It is the The Moon Rider Watch made by jeweller Romain Jerome, worth around £275,000. So if anyone you know wants moon dust strapped on their wrist then hopefully the price wont put you off!
