We’ve heard of besotted husbands, fathers and boyfriends gifting diamond jewelry to their girls. We’ve seen the huge Taylor-Burton diamond that nestled like a piece of living fire on Elizabeth Taylor. Heard about a diamond-studded handbag? Well, David Beckham scored a goal over Richard Burton by gifting his wife one – after all, love and football know no boundaries.

So Heavy, She Can’t Carry It

Football star David Beckham decided that leather bags were passé for his darling wife. So he played Secret Santa and ordered a custom-made, one-of-a-kind, diamond-studded handbag for Christmas. Victoria Beckham found this large, incredibly beautiful and sparkling metal handbag stuffed in her woolen Christmas stocking. The bag was so heavy and studded all over with diamonds that Posh Spice found it difficult to lug around.

The Bag That Cost A Ransom

Apparently, David paid a whopping £80,000 for the bejeweled bag. Only three such bags were created over the last six years, making the bag distinctly a priceless piece. Needless to say, it takes about two years to put together a single bag. Think of it, normal folks could buy a luxury home in many places in the world for £80,000!

Speaking of the unique bag, it features a three-carat diamond on the lock. So if someone wants to get rich instantly, they needn’t even break the lock of the bag. All they’ve got to do is cut the lock and scoot! That is, if the very expensive bag is ever taken out of the high-security Swiss vault that it resides in.

How You Can Do A Beckham

It’s the thought, the gesture, the taste, the design, and the style of the bag that counts. Victoria Beckham probably never gets her diamond bag out of the bag vault. However, your loved one can safely flaunt your stylish gift proudly everywhere. Buy her a Hidesign or Holii gift card from Wohoo.in today. This is sure going to be an enjoyable shopping experience!

When we talk about the richest people in the world, one name stands out – Roman Abramovich. He’s not just one of the richest, but also one of the most generous lovers. We’re not sure if his generosity has found its way to the masses yet, but there’s plenty of proof that his long-standing girlfriend has vastly benefited by it.

Where To Begin?

Let’s start with the $14 million he blew on a bronze sculpture by Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti. This creation, called “Femme de Venise”, is a thing of beauty to look at and a definite joy to own. Though of course, most people would be content to look upon this fabulous piece of art in a museum or a black-tie exhibition.

Not so for Roman Abramovich. He had to buy it. If that weren’t enough, he simply had to gift it to his girlfriend, who, we hope, is a connoisseur of fine art.

Not to Forget $60 Million Worth Of Art

This flamboyant billionaire is also known to have spent a mind-boggling $60 million buying extremely expensive pieces of art for his girlfriend.  The truly unbelievable (but very true) part of this story is that he spent the entire $60 million on various art auctions at Sotheby’s and Christie’s in just one month! Now, we wonder, was it her birthday month when the big bucks were spent?

He Didn’t Stop There

He went on, our indefatigable billionaire lover, to buy her a fabulous villa in Colorado, and graced it with two paintings by Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon. Want to know how much the house and the paintings cost? An eye-popping $120 million!

Are You An Art Lover Too?

In a single gesture, you can demonstrate your appreciation of fine art and your love. Log on to Woohoo.in and buy gift cards from Gitanjali for Greggio Argento silver artefacts and centrepieces; and gift cards from Shoppers Stop and Home Stop for their wonderful home decoration range.

>Who said kings and princes don’t gift each other elaborate chests of gold anymore? All that is a myth, if what we hear is to be believed, and if anyone tells you that heads of state don’t accept elaborate gifts from anyone, don’t believe that either. All that is on paper alone – in reality it is still so very different.

300,000 USD Worth Of Gifts

US President Barrack Obama took his charming wife, Michelle Obama, and his two delightful daughters for a friendly visit to Saudi Arabia during the first year of his term as President. Once he got there, all rules about the appropriateness of accepting gifts were thrown out of the window.

Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah, as per the time-honored hospitality traditions of his nation, bestowed USD 300,000 worth of gifts on Obama and his family. The elaborate gifts comprised jewelry, rare books, and precious artifacts for the White House and much more. President Obama must have protested internally, but couldn’t have voiced them in all probability. After all, we’re talking about age old traditions here.

To Accept Or Not To Accept

It’s not clear whether such a move was anticipated or not, but there wasn’t much Obama could do lest he offends his gracious host. This princely gift from King Abdullah exceeds all normal bounds of courtesy. This gift is considered the most expensive gift given by one head of state to another in recent times. On the flip side, how much tax do you think Obama paid on the gifts when he got back to the US? None! As all presents are handed over to National Archives, as laws in US bars government officials from receiving gifts on duty.

If Variety Is In, Go For It!

Get Woohoo.in gift cards from D’damas and Tanishq for diamond jewelry, Gitanjali gift cards for Greggio Argento silver gift pieces and Shoppers Stop gift cards for lifestyle products.
