Now I know this is for kids put this pencil rocks in my opinion. It’s from an online store called The Frog and Princess Luxury Children’s Boutique. You can get all sorts of luxury gifts for your children (or yourself if you are so inclined) including jewelled pacifiers, compacts, clothes, baby rattles etc. Check out the website, all the prices are in dollars but i’m sure it could be converted and shipped over here. They are great for Christening gifts or just spoiling your tots.

Check out the website.

I have found the cutest piggy bank for any new born child (of if your feeling childish for you).  It is from Tiffany & Co and costs £795 so not the most ideal price but for a special present this is ideal.  It is made of sterling silver and is 4.75″ high.

Tiffany & Co have lots more presents for children, men and women so visit their site for a look.

Posh bling for your pets.

The below USB memory key is disguised as a heart pendant on a silver silk cord to go around your neck.  The heart is polished stainless steel and is combined with silver shade crystals and the 2 halves stay together with a pin.

The USB has a 1GB memory that holds up to 250 songs or 1,000 photos and has a high speed USB 2.0 interface.

This can be purchased at Swarovski Crystal for a price of £105.00.

This phone is a must have with anyone who can afford the price tag.  The Amosu Blackberry Pearl Limited Edition version is made of 18-carat gold and encrusted with approximately 900 brilliant cut diamonds and costs a whopping £45,000.

The Nokia N95 coated in 18 carat gold with 325 diamonds and costs a cheaper price of £12,000 but still the same price as a reasonable priced car…

Alex Monroe, UK jewellery designer of the year, has teamed up with Theo Fennell and Kleshna to create a 1 off brooch in support of this year’s Poppy Appeal for the British Legion.

They will be on display throughout September and October before being auctioned off to raise funds for the British Legion.

It is nice to see designers creating unusual items for worthwhile funds for a change.

I have fallen in love with this Jacob & Co watch, well i had until i saw the price.  At a Jaw dropping £1 million i can only ever dream of owning this.

A new shop called Frozen Gems opened in May 2008 on 95 Walton Street and is appointment only to view any of its stock.  It will only stock solid yellow, rose and white gold and diamond watches and will be stored in maximum security marble and glass display cabinets.

The shop will also stock Audemars Piguet and Cuervo y Sobrinos with prices starting at £2,000 so they will be selling more affordable watches as well as the ones i will only ever dream about.

London is hosting the 2008 Jewellery Fashion Week sponsored by Coutts.  The most impressive piece featuring in the show is this £1 million handbag by Japanese designer Ginza Tanaka.
