The Gift of Luxury

Not to be outdone by Neiman Marcus, The Rock has its own luxe gifts you can ‘wow’ with for the holidays. There’s gift wrapping Bolt to fulfil the ultimate fantasy of the need for speed; or getting the keys to the Range Rover Ultimate Edition? Want to surprise with a slice of island paradise? Contemplate taking out a one-day mortgage on Sandals’ offshore private island.

Here are SO’s nine Rock-flavoured gift recommendations.

Let’s start with our own Usain Bolt shall we, who’s had a pretty impressive year.

* #2 most popular male in the world — askmen.com

* Featured in the GQ Men of the Year 2012 Issue

* Has to date 9.8 million fans on Facebook

* 2.3 million followers on Twitter

* Now has six Olympic Gold Medals and remains the only athlete to repeat wins in successive Olympics in three events, 100, 200 metres and the 4 X 100 metres relay

* A quote from him was used to celebrate — World Television Day — 2012, November 21

* Has a foundation which supports 14 charities — all for children

* Won Jupiter Award for the highest individual contributor for United Way of Jamaica — 2010-2011

* Was named Director of Entertainment for Nissan (first this has ever been done)

* L’Equipe one of Europe’s biggest sport magazines changed the name of its July edition to BOLT.

* Featured in the Summer 2012 Edition of ESSENCE with his Mom, Jennifer Bolt

Fancy spending Christmas with Usain Bolt’s dad Wellesley and mum Jennifer and of course the world’s fastest man himself? That price tag, we would reckon, put a damper on all things Neiman. SO might however, be able to affix a price to a coming soon mega charity. Until then, wishes we reckon do and can come true.

Bronze

With the PNP now in power we reckon comrades might want to splurge on this Edna Manley ‘Capricorn’ Bronze, 1962. Priced at a cool $1.1 million.

SLK

It’s red, it’s fast and guaranteed to turn heads…

Silent Waters

What to buy your BFF who already has it all? How about this well-appointed villa? Silent Waters sleeps 20, has five guest suites, a tennis court, features a jaw-dropping view of Montego Bay and comes complete with the Great River, helipad, infinity pool and Koi ponds. Asking price:US$ 9.8.

A party on the Sandals Private Offshore Island

Rent the private offshore island at Sandals Royal Caribbean for you and your friends to party the night away. Each party is complete with blazing bonfires, intoxicating cocktails — served with a smile from the hospitable staff — on beach divans in the glow of a thousand Tiki torches. The island includes: a secluded private beach, a gourmet Thai restaurant, freshwater pool and whirlpool with swim-up pool bar. Guests can access the island via the exotic canary yellow dragon boat. So how much does this fantasy trip cost? Only upwards of US20,000 and that’s just rental.

Range Rover Ultimate Edition

It’s the aspirational vehicle for 2013 — and why not? The Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate Edition sets itself apart from the rest of the Range Rover lineup with its rear compartment, complete with individual power-adjustable rear captain’s chairs, and a pair of front seat-mounted Apple iPads for your pleasure. Wait, there’s more, between the two thrones is a full-length console that contains HVAC controls and a drink chiller, and which also houses aluminum tray tables for keyboards or caviar. The pampering treatment extends even to passengers’ luggage, which will sit upon a “super yacht-inspired” floor of fine teak in the cargo area. It’s champagne wishes and caviar dreams at a price of US$175,000?

A weekend escape at Round Hill’s Grand Pineapple Villa Suite

At US$1,885 per night, the Grand Pineapple Villa Suite at the cashmere-chic Round Hill Hotel and Villas provides the ultimate in exclusivity. Think, 2000 square feet of space equipped with semi-private pool, manicured lawns immaculate landscaping, cottage house attendants and breath-taking oceanfront views. It’s perfect for a romantic getaway.

Ippolita Jewellery

What about the season’s hottest jewellery pieces as a Yuletide gift? To make a stylish impression, pick up a gorgeous necklace, bangle or earring from Bijoux’s soon-to-be-launched Italian Ippolita collection. Guaranteed to make you showered with kisses — even without standing under the mistletoe. Cost: Just charge it.

Appleton Estate Limited Edition Jamaica Independence Reserve Rum

For the ultimate rum conoisseur, you can’t top Appleton’s Jamaica Independence Reserve Rum. Only 800 bottles of this oak-barreled, 50-year old rum were manufactured to celebrate The Rock’s golden anniversary. We’re sure it will find much appreciation with each treasured sip. Price: US$5,000.
