News has it that Katy Perry, well known American singer, actress and songwriter has unique and unheard-of-before birthday gift ideas. For her husband British comedian Russell Brand’s 35th birthday, Katy Perry eschewed all the usual gift ideas for men, and gifted him a space trip worth $200,000 instead.

It’s Outer Space Or Nothing Else!

For her, it’s all about making a magnificent gesture, something that her husband will remember for a lifetime, even after all his cologne bottles are over. Apparently Russell Brand will have to undergo a few days of intense training to be fit to get into a space shuttle. Then he’s off on his Virgin Galactic mission, straight up to a height of 365,000ft into the pitchy black of outer space.

Russell Brand To Defy Gravity And Float In Space

John F Kennedy remarked that stepping on the moon was a “Small step for man but a great step for mankind”. We wonder what he would have said for this magnificent gift of a space trip if he were still alive! Russell Brand will be one of the lucky ones to view the earth from a distance of 800 miles via the 17-inch diameter windows, What’s more, Mr. Brand will also be allowed to float weightlessly and defy gravity for all of 5 minutes up there.

Gift Someone You Love The Chance To Fly Free

How can you beat this gift of space travel? Why, by gifting your own version of it, of course! Go to Woohoo.in and buy a gift card from MakeMyTrip.com for someone who loves to travel. Help him or her to achieve their dream of flying free, traveling to distant locations and staying in places they’ve only seen in pictures before!

So rapper Jay Z bought wife and pop music superstar Beyonce a whole lot of designer bags to express his love. News has it that he spent a goodly sum of $350,000 over these bags and purses. True love, indeed! Jay Z, millionaire several times over, didn’t invest on just any old bag for his lady love. He bought a set of the world-famous, exclusive collector item Birkin bags from Hermes, which cost about $150,000 each.

Why So Much Generosity?

Well, it’s kind of understandable – apparently, Beyonce spent about $2 million on a gift for Jay Z on his 41st birthday. Her choice for him was the fastest road car in the world, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport. So the $350,000 that Jay Z blew on Birkin bags was definitely due, considering that he has been the recipient of such generosity. Totally understandable, one could say.

That young, dashing actor from The 70’s Show, Ashton Kutcher and his ex-wife actress Demi Moore have exchanged some spectacular gifts over time. The most imaginative and evocative gift of them all was the Peter Beard Limited Edition Art Book that Ashton gifted Demi.

What’s This Book All About?

This limited edition art book is a compilation of photographs that depict the African travels of the famous traveler Peter Beard. Peter Beard is also a famous photographer and artist, apart from being an avid traveler. His exclusive pictures of the exquisite sights of Africa were compiled into a 500-page book, of which only 2,250 copies were ever printed. Well, that accounts for the hefty price tag attached to this book, a whopping $2500.

Granted, Ashton Kutcher is a man of taste. He certainly gave his wife a gift to treasure and remember. A book, as the wise ones say, is worth a hundred bars in gold. A book contains knowledge, which is the most precious gift you can bestow on anyone.

Do you ever wonder if gifts are just gifts, or if you can use gifts to obtain an interview or a favor? Take the example of the great Egyptian Queen Cleopatra, who sent the gift of a one-of-a-kind, precious, priceless silk Turkish carpet to the Roman emperor Julius Cesar.

What Did She Want To Achieve?

All Cleopatra wanted was an audience with Julius Caesar, a chance to explain her need for his help to save Egypt.  However, she wasn’t allowed to enter Cesar’s chambers or talk to him. So she got her servants to roll her into a priceless, multi-colored silk carpet and had it delivered to Julius Cesar. Cesar, who loved beautiful things and beauty above all else, was so impressed with the carpet that he accepted the gift without question.

He asked his servants to roll out the carpet, and as they did so, out popped the lovely Cleopatra in all her fairness and glory. Of course, Cesar was doubly delighted – he got two beauties at one go. He gladly declared his support in her battle for the Egyptian throne. They eventually had a son, but it was the carpet that was the prelude to this love story.

You Are The Gift, The Carpet Is Incidental

To your wife, you are the unquestionable gift. However, you can get her a carpet to equal the beauty of Cleopatra’s Turkish carpet. Buy your wife a Lifestyle or Home Stop gift card from Woohoo.in to enable her to buy the carpet of her choice. While she’s at it, she can also buy anything her heart desires to beautify her home.
