Last-Minute, Big-Spending Gift Ideas

Still have a few presents to buy? If you really blow your budget, your loved ones will never guess you waited till the last minute to do your shopping. Here are some of this holiday season's most outrageous selections:

* Want to go with a simple gift card? Injet offers a private jet gift card, offering your favorite executive ten hours of flight time on a private jet. The price tag: $42,000.

* Do the kids still need a stocking stuffer? Goldstriker International has created the Nintendo Wii Supreme, coated in 22-karat gold and sporting front buttons decorated with 78 quarter-cut diamonds weighing a total of 19.5 carats. The price tag: $481,250.

* Looking for a high-fashion accessory that also offers everyday utility? Christian Dior has gone into the cell-phone business, with a slim model featuring the House of Dior's signature pattern and the exclusive "CD" initials. The price tag: starts at $5,000.

* One big-ticket item that's not so extravagant this year is Neiman-Marcus' famous fantasy offering from its Christmas catalog. For the first time in ten years, there's no million-dollar item; your friends and family will have to settle for "his and hers" two-seater airplane, plus flying lessons, going for a bargain-basement $250,000.
