High-end gifts - When money doesn't matter
published: Tuesday | December 18, 2007

Nashauna Drummond, Lifestyle Coordinator


The ultimate fashion statement for him this Christmas is a Rolex from Swiss Stores, the official dealers for the brand in Jamaica.

Christmas is the season for giving and as they say, it's the thought that counts. But the thought aside, giving a gift that is really appreciated is certainly a plus.

So what do you give someone who seems to have it all? Well, the relationship you have with that individual will certainly matter.

How about a day at the spa. An all-inclusive day where you are pampered to the tee at an executive suite at Jencare, for example. This package includes a manicure, pedicure, facial, body scrub and body massage. This cost $13,000, plus tax.

But if money is not an issue, then give them the gift that they will really appreciate.

Think big. Diamonds are forever a girl's best friend. The more carats, the more it's worth in weight and appreciation.

A home is a major source of investment and a solid foundation. Properties have been given for graduations and as wedding gifts, so the holiday should be no different. According to real estate estimates, a two-bedroom apartment will be in the range of $12-$16 million (of course, location is a factor) while a three-bedroom town house would run for $20-$30 million.

Why not go shopping at the new development, a Century 21 Heave Ho development; Argyle on Musgrave Avenue. With two-bedrooms, two-bathrooms, underground parking, clubhouse, gym, pool, concierge service; it redefines the meaning of luxury. Each two-bedroom unit cost approximately $18.5 million.

Getting around in style is a bonus for the one you love. Get them th of luxury with a C or E class Mercedes Benz. According to a senior sales executive at Eurostar Motors, these cars have everything for your complete comfort. It's equipped with bluetooth capability, plush leather interior, and don't worry about parking; this is made easier with parking sensors. Power and elegance in such a package run from $5 - $9 million dollars.

The BMW brand speaks for itself. According to a sales and marketing executive at Stewarts Auto, the best in automobiles are there for the holidays. Great things come in small packages, so for the young or young at heart, the Mini Cooper or series one is sporty fun and dynamic in a fabulous little package. The going rate is $3 million - up.

Or you might upgrade to a BMW X3. Bigger doesn't always mean better. The X3 is great for off road. It's snug and compact and in the speed department, nothing is missing. These are in the $6 million range.

If you think a sedan will better suit your special someone, the 3- Series special edition is perfect. With wood trim, sun roof, with increase and thump guard to protect the car's under-carriage from stones and potholes. All these are from $5 million - up.

Diamond circles are in and with this hanging from your neck, you will be the envy of your friends. so pop over to Swiss Stores and make your selection.
